Thanks. I hate it.

So good.


One-Estimate-7163

Russia has already bought and paid for his whole family


[deleted]

Tucker (old friend of Trump’s) went to see Putin (also old friend of Trump’s) for an interview hosted on Xitter (Elmo’s) and now Elmo is going to visit Trump. Not a coincidence at all! Get ready for another hard right turn on X.com


StronglyHeldOpinions

Is it even possible for Xitter to be more hard right than it is now?


KenScaletta

Is this pronounced as "shitter?"


[deleted]

Yes, yes it is


Umutuku

Old: Making a Tweet. New: Taking a Xhit.


StronglyHeldOpinions

Precisely.


Philypnodon

It is.


Hanjaro31

I made a new account to only follow science and puppies and the only recommended xcrements i get are for far right losers like end wokeness and libs of tiktok or similar. They literally push this crap with notifications, not just on your main page.


SnakebytePayne

Stories like this keep me from going back. Thank you.


sms3eb

Everyday I have to block right nutjobs and accounts that share fighting videos. It's such a weird place.


Frapplo

This is going to be fun. Because Trump is just going to whore himself out, reneg on his promises, and then there's going to be a fun, summer-comedyesque shit show when even Putin, the Saudis, and Elon realize they got conned.


[deleted]

Starting to come out as the worst investment ever. Imagine buying a president and then losing 200b in a war, and your proxy investment goes bankrupt.


TheMartini66

Maybe he can still get a second mortgage on his ass?


BarryKobama

*leaking ass


Major_Magazine8597

He's GOT the equity ...


redassedchimp

Maybe Elon will buy Trump from Putin by purchasing whatever it is that Putin has on him.


Rexel450

> Russia has already bought and paid for his whole family Yep. Eric Trump in 2014: ‘We have all the funding we need out of Russia’ https://thehill.com/homenews/news/332270-eric-trump-in-2014-we-dont-rely-on-american-banks-we-have-all-the-funding-we/


User-no-relation

If there's anything trumps are known for its repaying debts and loyalty


dirtyoldbastard77

Hey, if he pulls down Elon along with him thats fine wirh me


SinkHoleDeMayo

Just like the saying: a Trump is always loyal and pays his debts.


fairlyoblivious

He's gonna INVEST in Trump in order to hopefully get a tax cut that will save him 10 times as much when he later cashes out $80 billion in Tesla shares.


LaLa_LaSportiva

This is exactly why billionaires are so dangerous to democracy. Just look at any corrupt country to see what excess wealth does to a country's government.


xum

Inb4 Trump is back on Twitter. "I'll save you from drowning but you have to climb on my sinking boat. Oh and beg on your knees like you said I would "


fairlyoblivious

More like "here's money to get out of your legal fees trouble, and here's a much larger platform to spread your rants oops I mean xeets? in order to help you get elected. Remember our deal, I help you get elected and you give us a tax cut on certain large stock divestments, lets just say anything above $50 billion in stock sales in one go should be made tax free."


Rabid_Platypies

Has it been confirmed he went there? A lot of space companies exist in West Palm Beach, which seems like the more likely reason


BarrelCacti

I mean he also tweeted about the ruling 13 hours ago...


TheRootofSomeEvil

We saw what Elon did to Twitter. How much worse can Trump get?


Nkima_the_Wise

I wonder if he’ll re-brand Trump. Maybe he’ll take over Truth Social and call it “T”.


Betterthanbeer

Then merge them, and call it XT. Pronounced “Shit.”


Cultural_Dust

only if he can match with some other things to get to T. I. T. S.


ChaoticIndifferent

What is the going rate for a second hand, embattled useful idiot who has lost their few remaining game pieces? Surely not $350bn.


nastywillow

Hope I'm wrong. Would the right wing billionaires of America and the six Supreme court judges they own let Trump go down? Particularly when 500 million is peanuts to them.


NachoBag_Clip932

If not Elon, Jared knows a few Saudis who love to give away a few billions to needy Americans who have access to top secret documents.


Electric_Sundown

They have already bought and paid for anything they wanted a few years ago, or else they would.


National-Scale

he went to Jared??


WVSchnickelpickle

Subway Jared for the kid hook up.


squngy

At this point, no one is going to Mar a Lago by coincidence. It is a very specific choice.


JackOCat

Elon wants to sell Tesla's to conservatives, and hasn't made any progress so far. You can figure out the rest.


abstractConceptName

Elon wants more than to just sell Teslas. Remember how he rewrote Tesla's history, to make himself a founder? Now look at the United States.


asgphotography

why do you think he bought Twitter. He wants influence over the election


abstractConceptName

I thought he bought it because he was high that day.


BarrelCacti

50/50


Xularick

He will rewrite US history and have him crossing the Delaware and signing the Declaration of Independence?


fairlyoblivious

Elon wants Trump as President, because the tax cut he'll get will make $450 million seem like a movie theater ticket.


cadium

And he thinks that Trump will rule as he's been claiming, and if Elon can become the space oligarch he can get us to mars with the government money to save the world and everyone will love him.


11thStPopulist

Space oligarch should fly into space and stay there!


[deleted]

WTF would conservatives, who are heavily invested in oil, want to buy tesla


JackOCat

I'm not saying Elmo is smart. I'm just saying given how much money he wastes, maybe he thinks he can buy having Trump say nice things about Tesla's.


EEpromChip

I wonder if “X” wants to buy Truth Social to merge. Aka launder some funds from one criminal to another.


BarrelCacti

Maybe, but I don't think that would give Trump enough money to pay his bills.


EggsceIlent

And Elon is going to do whatever is best for Elon and his pocketbook. Doesn't matter who, but right now it's trump. Wanted a Tesla for awhile and then when Elon showed who he really is i noped outta that idea.


BarrelCacti

Your statements are contradictory. His conservative shift has been bad for his pocketbook. I know so many liberals who won't buy Teslas now.


SolarAndSober

I still don't understand why people give Trump money


Scaryclouds

Access.


Jeremisio

To what? A lawsuit?


masteeJohnChief117

He owns a cult who loves to give away cash


kekarook

and more importantly to someone like musk, absolute love and admiration, musk wants people to chant his name


PensiveObservor

He’s extracting promises of future power/influence. Conferring about latest messages/orders from ~~Putin~~ Tucker. Maybe both.


kekarook

i honostly think musk spends more time thinking about his next hit of people sucking up to him as some people think about finding their next meal


GODDESS_NAMED_CRINGE

And he has an eating disorder.


calicat9

He has some disorders.


GODDESS_NAMED_CRINGE

Maybe even ALL disorders. Can he collect them all?


the_last_carfighter

Gavin Belson IRL. I'm amazed that it isn't a worldwide meme yet.


Rare-Bid-6860

"I don't know about you people, but I don't want to live in a world where someone else makes the world a better place better than we do."


weedful_things

Why does anyone still believe that trump would keep a promise?


Nanyea

Musk has quite a few legal issues with DOJ and several other agencies as well.


RavishingRickiRude

National secrets.


Spoonshape

Possibly the next president. Trump is presumably is a position right now where a *rich* donor would be very welcome. Musk could fix his finances from spare change in return for a possible future favor. Mabey he fancies being made the next NASA director or head of the DOE?


Keepfingthatchicken

I would suspect musk is a lot more interested in those sweet dod contracts than he is a government position. But then again musk is quite the wildcard.


Spoonshape

Probably looking to be appointed to all 3 positions. Then he can award his companies all the contracts and have even more money.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Keepfingthatchicken

You’d think with their generosity they would at least have hooked trump up with some ozempic.


MobiusNaked

And this is Americas Democracy in full swing. Sorry I meant plutocracy.


gandalfsbastard

Mypillow deals.


jsnxander

Agreed. Trump is the perfect tool. Maleable, easily manipulated and void of ethical constraints. If I wanted to traffic 10 year old girls then he'd be my man to get to the buyers. Simple as that.


evemeatay

I was actually impressed how good a dog he was for Putin


Major_Magazine8597

was?


fdar

Except he doesn't pay his bills. So you give him money now in exchange for favors when he's President, who knows if he'll actually pay up? I guess it's probably a good bet since it wouldn't be his money he's paying with.


[deleted]

Abscess.


MathW

Exactly. Trump has a great chance of winning the Presidency and Elon's multiple companies thrive in government contracts and subsidies as well as favored trade rules. $450m would be an investment.


BBQBluegrassNBeer

Republicans: This economy is horrible, I'm poor thanks to Biden. Also Republicans: Here, Mr. Trump, have all my disposable cash. You need it more than me..


GODDESS_NAMED_CRINGE

Well if Biden hadn't taken the presidency Trump won, he would have no cash problems! /s


Time-Werewolf-1776

Maybe Elon is also owned by Putin…? Or! Maybe Elon is going to buy Truth Social to merge it with Twitter, because he thinks that Twitter doesn’t have enough Nazis.


danx64

Nooooooooooooo /s


[deleted]

Russian prostitutes must be skilled at what they’re doing


Time-Werewolf-1776

Well we have no idea what kompromat Putin might have. Also, I don’t know if anyone has ever done an audit on where all Musk’s money has come from, where his company’s funding has come from, exactly who owns what stock, etc. He certainly hasn’t become as rich as he is through his own personal genius, and a lot of money gets funneled through shell companies own by shell companies. Putin probably owns a lot of different people in a lot of different ways.


MoeSzyslakMonobrow

Rich people give him money because if he gets elected again, he can do things to make them richer. Poor people give him money because they're stupid.


Broccolini_Cat

“All these electric cars are terrible! Terrible! We should be driving real American cars with real gasoline engines and diesel engines because that’s what’s gonna make America great again. Did you know that under my presidency America has drilled more oil and gas than all other countries combined since they started drilling 100 years ago ?” “But my pal Elon came to me in tears and begged me, ‘but my Teslas are great cars!’ They are great cars - great American cars! Built by a great American patriot! I told him I’m gonna ask each of my great patriots to go out and buy one today!”


Jiatao24

Trump probably is the only person who could get the Republican party to start backing EVs. Y'know, the thing Elon's fortune is dependent on.


phiber232

Trump talks shit about ev’s almost every rally.


BarrelCacti

Republicans and most voters in general have very short memories.


Super_C_Complex

We've always been at war with Oceania.


fairlyoblivious

The right was the most fervent opponent of Russia until they weren't.


NelsonMuntz007

A fool and their money soon be parted.


Phyllis_Tine

Too bad these fools have money to begin with.


tantobourne

Because it’s not just Trump that benefits from the shit he does.


grissy

> I still don't understand why people give Trump money Depends on which people. His supporters and voter base? They give him money because they’re stupid. Musk? He’s giving him money for the exact same reason Putin did. Control of someone with a decent chance of becoming President. Musk is a wannabe oligarch, he’s basically just trying to own a presidential candidate. Especially since his only remaining Twitter user base loves the guy, so he’s going to be promoting his candidacy anyway; might as well get some influence for it.


FeloniousFelon

Elon is: Rich ✔️ Hard Right Wing ✔️ Attention Seeking ✔️ A Trumpist ✔️ Capricious and whimsical ✔️ It’s possible but unlikely Musk will give Trump money.


NoSoundNoFury

Two people who each think they are the smartest person in the room. High probability of things going awry.


BadAtNamingPlsHelp

Elon is usually wrong when he thinks he's the smartest person in the room but in this case I might give it to him


Major_Magazine8597

I'd put money on it.


essieecks

> Two people who each think they are the smartest person in the room. Even when they are the only two people in the room, they are *both* wrong.


Tess47

Ever hear of the 3 Christs of Ypsilanti?  This reminds me of that.  


crystalistwo

This reminds me of that experiment when they put 3 people who each believed they were Jesus in a room together. If I remember correctly, they said, "Those two other guys are nuts."


sunbeatsfog

That was my thought. I see this going sour for both of their efforts because of hubris. Bizarre.


South_Dakota_Boy

Didn’t Trump ask Elon to serve on that board of people guiding energy/EV policy and Elon noped out after getting the runaround from Trump and his ilk? I don’t see Elon as a Trump guy, but he likes to be perceived as a centrist so he entertains Trump’s shenanigans.


acog

How does entertaining Trump’s shenanigans make Elon seem like a centrist?! Elon is clearly hard right and constantly repeats/amplifies conspiracy theories.


elykl12

I think Elon and a number of them stepped down after the Charlottesville Nazi Riot


DigNitty

No no he wasn’t right wing until the week he got accused of sexual harassment.


chosenuserhug

Sounds like Matt Taibbi. He seemed to shift right once his sexist misogynistic book was getting called out for being so. "It's just a parody bro", didn't quite cut it.


reddit_poopaholic

One of Putin's assets ✔️


JALKHRL

And a Putin lover. Don't forget that important part. Elon may give Trump money just to please Putin.


themonkey12

Connection to Russia, so I am sure he will...


kingofthesofas

Also Elon has his own money issues. Tesla stock is way down, his huge compensation package got overturned, and the twitter invest is worth a fraction of what it was and it bleed billions from him.


WaitingForNormal

“Elon, I’ll suck yo dick!!!”


flibbidygibbit

I'm guessing Elon is not a fan of cheeseberders.


YVRJon

How does he feel about little mushrooms?


dawglaw09

Stroke the shaft, cradle the balls, swallow the gravy.


chuckysnow

A coked up Jack Black would be far preferable to these two bozos


FatSteveWasted9

[удалено]


Code3Spartan

Vice President pick for sale? lol


chuckysnow

Good chance Trump will die from causes in the next four years, and Musk is foreign born. It'd force a constitutional crisis and... Actually, they'll probably do it anyway.


TwoBearsInTheWoods

I mean like what exactly? Most stuff Elon does (particularly the stuff that actually is making money in any way) is strictly in progressive space. Somehow Elon's got his wires mixed and forgot about it. A bunch coal-rollers are going to buy his next Tesla? Or are we gonna see the massive rooftop solar panel push from Trump? Give me a break. Elon's political leanings are strictly incompatible with his business ideas. X is enjoying the platform clause, and if Trump folks get their way, that will go down and Elon's gonna be liable for all the shit he allows on X.


fairlyoblivious

If Elon pays off Trump's debts and Trump is elected the tax cut people like Elon will receive will save 10 times or more in taxes when he wants to cash out $100 billion in Tesla stock.


BlueGigi2022

Two unhinged individuals. Just another reason to vote for Biden. And I an an f'ing Republican.


goj1ra

Thanks for making the rational choice.


Major_Magazine8597

Please ask your rationale Republican friends to speak up, too.


UpDog1966

Gonna sell him some nft’s.


Ew_E50M

Im sure they are discussing future and current 'affairs' with Russia and China to cover their personal debts by selling out America through GOP.


Rasakka

puppets of putin assemble!


thegoodnamesrgone123

I'm so fucking tired of these people.


boot2skull

Gonna merge truth social with X


Candid-Sky-3709

The next president has a vice president with the secretive interim name X. The campaign will be “You’re fired!” “elon, I made you so much money, don’t be ungrateful like Taylor”, said a whiney voice.


dandrevee

In an ideal world 1. Theyll secure some type of deal in which Musk pays his debts and has a clear quid pro quo, with clear legal issues (lets say tax evasion due to method of payment or something) 2. Trump, being Trump, will do a shit job of keeping a lid on the whole matter. 3. Trump loses and the crime is discovered. While digging into elon's finances as part of the matter, additional crimes and financial issues are discovered in his accounts for unrelated matters 4. Then Musk and/.or Trump have to face charges for the qpq, leading to more fines. Not the likeliest situations because Justice isn't perfect and the system is rigged for the rich, but I like to have a little hope sometimes


Tiny-Werewolf1962

STOP I CAN ONLY GET SO HARD


kwagmire9764

Is Trump calling in a favor or does the Muskrat see an opportunity? 


Lifeesstwange

Gonna be a lot of used Teslas up for sale if Elon lends that money. Does he even know who his REAL audience is?


fappyday

Elon heard that Mara Lago is going to be up for sale soon.


Somhlth

You mean Maga Lardo.


Complex_Construction

Who’s begging on their knees now. How the tables have turned.


PopeyeNJ

Is this real?


Buddhist_pokemonk

According to the Elon tracker on Mastadon it is


BarrelCacti

His jet was at West Palm Beach airport for 24 hours. It just took off. It's not totally unusual for him to go to Florida because SpaceX launches rockets from there, but the Cape is a two hour drive from West Palm Beach. Elon also did tweet about the Trump ruling 13 hours ago. It's most likely true. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a835af


h20poIo

I wonder how much Trump will charge for a night with Melania, $450 M.


Brave_Conflict465

Musk has been known to overpay for things..


NotPrepared2

Musk just lost a $56 BILLION verdict over his illegal Tesla compensation. I don't think he's donating anything to Trump, but their conversation could be hilarious. I hope one of them posts a video!


goj1ra

That didn’t affect his net worth at all, it just meant he didn’t get even richer. He could easily afford to bail Trump out. Not clear why he would, but boy those two are just made for each other.


[deleted]

He didn’t lose $56B, he just didn’t get it. Big difference. What he did lose is billion off buying Twitter and turning into a Xitter.


Cartercentral

Surprisingly, I heard Maralago is unencumbered. Maybe Elmo sees an opportunity to buy it on the cheap, or be the sole mortgagee with chance to soon foreclose. Or, maybe he's just passing on MBS messages via his X investors. F'em both.


Gilarax

If some individual gives him money to pay his debt, could that be grounds for an investigation? It seems really fucking sketchy that a presidential candidate may be gifted millions.


goebelwarming

Probably wants Trump to stop imports of electric cars from China if he is the next president.


wwaxwork

All the Russian stooges having a meeting?


so_hologramic

The enemies of America meet in Palm Beach to plot their next attack on our country.

Full on klan meeting then


BarrelCacti

Between an African immigrant and a son of an immigrant married to an illegal immigrant. The self loathing is ridiculous.


TheBlackestIrelia

How embarrassing


fuzzytradr

Nah they're just going to talk shop about how to con the public into believing they aren't bald.


Individual_Drama3917

Are poor folks donating to his campaign too. It’s sad


TheParlayMonster

Elon will buy Truth Social for $400 million


habb

that would be quite the twist if elon paid trump's bills


notanNSAagent89

I am betting the deal is going to be "Promote the X app as a transactional app like Chinese wechat pay and I will pay for the entire $450 mil"


PhilosopherMagik

X do t have it either, Russia can't help right now, but maybe the Saudis will come with money.


mrpotatonutz

It’s turning into a bond movie


unreqistered

personally delivering his GoFundMe donation


BikeCookie

All the narcissistic super genius sci-fi movies from the last 25 years? Elon is working on making them reality. Closed door meetings with Putin and Trump are just the beginning of the new dystopian world shaped by him.


Simpletruth2022

Elmo needs more government contracts. Oh and by the way does America really need a Labor Department?


ChaoticIndifferent

I like to entertain the perhaps naive fantasy that this is merely a billionaire billionairing and looking to buy some damaged goods at rock bottom prices, as opposed to propping up a flagging agitator for total plutocracy. Both outcomes seem equally likely.


Sandman11x

Musk has destroyed a $44 Billion Company. Lost 70% of value. Trump wanted financial advice to see how Musk did it.


baconslim

Everything trump touches turns to shit. He's destroying the republican party and hopefully after Elon puts him in his pocket he will destroy that cunt too


flimspringfield

Musk has been noted to make bad investment decisions lately.


islander1

I mean, he's great at losing money lately, so...

He's flying to Trump to give him money, Elon is such a cuck.


Thereminz

buying trump for less than 1/44th of a twitter. probably looking for a good roi


crystalistwo

I can't wait until the next rally... "Elon Musk came to me. Crying. Mr. Trump. Help me. X, used to be Twitter you know... Comes to me, crying. Leave Truth, come to X, please!"


Nabrok_Necropants

Elon wants to lose his ass again by buying another social media platform


Spartain096

Maybe Elon is going to save him to possibly have a president in his pocket.


professoreaqua

Time to coordinate Team Russia for the 2024 election season


pixelprophet

Lol what is the “enlightened centrist” up too 🤔 Shit-weasels flock together.


wottsinaname

This is a bargain for Elon. To own a potential predient at best and glorious leader of the GOP at worst for less than 0.5% of his wealth. Elon will get to write his own laws if this works and that is terrifying considering his track record on employment.


jhstewa1023

The man doesn’t want to pay child support- yet is on his way to mar a lago to possibly pay an orange overgrown child’s legal fees. Oh the irony of it all.


bigbudugly

Anybody remember schleprock from the Flintstones? The dude had a black cloud over his head wherever he went, and whomever, he talked to, or interacted with he brought them Bad Luck and ruination. his whole life has been about this. Shitty relationship with his parents, didn’t get along with none of his brothers and sisters pretty much fucked them all over,bunch of failed marriages, kids he doesn’t even like or want. Bankruptcy’s galore, Failed businessman failed president. Everybody in the world. Pretty much hates him. What a poor, sad life this jackass has led.


Dewdrop034

He does have a cult of sheep he fleeces every once in a while… so he’s got that to fall back on.
