Wtf is wrong with these people?
More like: "Yes, we're the bad guys and I'm fed up pretending otherwise"....
There are plenty of billionaires that hate Trump. Musk likes Trump because he’s racist, misogynistic, transphobic bigot.
That wouldn't stop them endorsing him if he served their interests better though.
Apart from anything else, I can't understand how the voter fraud she's advocating is even meant to work. Like, turning up at 10 different polling booths with 10 different names - I can see how someone might imagine that would work, although I imagine ID requirements and the like would make it difficult in practice. But when she says "that's 100 votes", presumably that means she's envisioning people turning up at each polling booth and giving 10 different fake names in a row? What a family.
It’s not so straightforward that one candidate will be a goody for them and one will be a baddy. When you’re a billionaire, every candidate will serve your business interests.
Agreed, but usually some will serve better than others.
Not really. You think that a Democrat is going to be anything other than pro-billionaire?
No, but I didn't say that either. I'm saying that billionaires don't endorse politicians because they like them.
Billionaires mostly don’t endorse politicians at all. That’s the point. Musk is endorsing Trump because he’s an alt-right manbaby, not because Trump is somehow going to making him even even even richer.
It's a good match for Musk. The whole superclass techno authoritarianism.
Surely the point is that, while in the crudest terms both parties are pro-billionaire, different factions of capital have different interests and understand those interests in different ways, so that, for instance, the majority of the tech sector has usually tended to lean Democrat while the oil and energy industries have been more pro-Republican. As with the policies of the Tories over the last decade, up to and including Truss.
I think they've more in common with eachother than say, non-billionaires.
