MODERATORS
They're saying the quiet part out loud again
they must have been impressed by his impeccable performance on the stage with chapelle
I think Elon Musk is worried about his Tesla stock. He knows Democrats will pave the way for EV cars, but Republicans will and have already put up roadblocks to EVs. By joining their side, he makes it harder for Republicans to paint EVs as “a democrat thing.” Even Trump is like “I guess I have to support EVs now, because Elon Musk supports me.”
I bet that is a significant reason he has cozied up to the Republican side in recent years.

Or he's just a fascist money hoarder
I mean his EVs are part of his money hoarding empire, so he's explicitly protecting that business for the goal of hoarding money.
¿Porque no los dos?
i legitimately don't understand why this is happening other than maybe he gets more lobbying power over this guy for less money than a democrat
Maybe he's trying to corner the EV market through the Republicans. If the Democrats make it more attractive for all manufactures to make EVs, Tesla loses
Looking at the Cybertruck, I think his plan is simply to destroy EVs. Same thing as Twitter.
Both companies are/were evaluated way higher than what they are worth and purchased with loans that are completely insecure, but costing very real interest.
It also looks as if Elon is doing a little totally legal "asset stripping" of the goodwill by paying out huge options to himself before the companies eventually go bust. I would not be surprised if the Saudis or other co-investors are footing the interest on the loans in the meantime. It's a small price to pay to get rid of those companies obstructing their business.
He thinks if the Republicans win then they will let him do whatever crazy thing he plans on doing without any oversight.
OK Nostradamus. I'll file that prediction alongside "Full self drive in 2018" and "Mars landing in 2024"
He missed an opportunity to present dark maga coins in a blackface.
The orange felon, RFK Jr and Musk, quit a collection of misfits, adulterers and greedy liars. Oh wait, RFK Jr must have been off somewhere collecting roadkill.

Nah, he was in court arguing why he should be taken off the ballot in red states while also arguing why he should remain on the ballot in blue states. Cause you know, he's totally not a spoiler candidate.
Trump later invited Musk on stage. The X owner walked on wearing a black blazer over a shirt saying “Occupy Mars” and a black MAGA hat. “As you can see, I’m not just MAGA,” said Musk. “I’m dark MAGA.” Dark MAGA is a memecoin, a type of cryptocurrency inspired by online trends. The valuation of Dark MAGA soared right around the time that Musk spoke.
That's so grifty. So overtly grifty that it's approaching "hello fellow kids" levels of transparency. Up there with Jordan Peterson and Russell Brand praying together. It's just strange and funny to see these grifters all clumping together like this.
I wish I had the free time and crypto knowledge to create a quick scam MAGA memecoin before election day at this point...
The valuation of Dark MAGA soared right around the time that Musk spoke.
So that makes this the, what, fifth crypto pump-and-dump Elon has done? How has the SEC not bagged this guy yet?
This feels like a reach. It's probably just a lame appropriation of dark brandon.
I’m not just MAGA,” said Musk. “I’m dark MAGA.”
More like dork maga.
Grifters go where the easiest marks are.
I'm surprised they didn't go with DumbMAGA
Last election ? Not a chance of that.
It's a veiled threat of a hostile takeover
All of MAGA is DarkMAGA
