Summary

At a Wisconsin rally, Elon Musk complained about personal attacks and financial losses tied to his role as head of the DOGE.

He insisted he’s not stealing from Social Security, saying it’s actually costing him money—citing Tesla stock’s sharp drop.

Musk whined about Governor Tim Walz mocking the stock’s decline, calling him “a big jerk.”

Despite the criticism, Musk is pouring millions into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, while lamenting the pressure he faces for pushing controversial reforms.

      If there was any real evidence of that being true, it would definitely have been reported on way more widely.

      Real journalism doesn’t report rumors as though they’re true.

          Again, if there was verifiable evidence, it would have been reported.

          Truth is hard.

            There has been reporting on irregularities.

            When you have a literal billionaire who bought one of the worlds largest social media platforms and has the other ones fellating him - when late stage capitalism has effectively killed journalism and most news is shared primarily through social media, truth is hard.

              He literally rigged the election and the news didn’t cover it lol

              Posts link to reporting from Newsweek

              In a blog post, the group noted that its findings are not proof that the last election results were “incorrect or manipulated.”

              Make up your mind.

                “Provide evidence”

                provides evidence

                “Actually that doesn’t count and actually it also invalidates your argument.”

                Arguing with conservatives is always the same, ain’t it?

                Also: “if Elon’s dick didn’t work the news would be so eager to report it the fact they haven’t means it must” is the stupidest argument I’ve ever heard. Why do you need the fascist strongman to be virile so much that you abandon basic logic?

                  Literally from the article “the group noted that its findings are not proof that the last election results were “incorrect or manipulated.””

                  I mean you should read the articles you’re citing as proof.

                  Though I wish someone had hard facts this is not it. Anyone can allege anything. Trump alleged the votes were rigged when he lost. They clearly weren’t.
