Really if you think about it, he would have wasted $44 billion. What good is the bird site if it fails him here? It certainly has no use as a profitable business or anything like that.
If we want to waste his money, we just need to start social media platforms that criticize him, so he will buy them. We can see which gives out first: his ego or his wallet.
You know who really has power over that piece of shit Elon Musk?
Gavin Newsom.
With one stroke of the pen on a perfectly reasonable law (if you actually read it) he can make that asshole move his entire base of operations hundreds of miles away (which he won’t, despite his threats, because it’s a nightmare logistically).
Gavin Newsom sent out a message to him that he bent the knee. It was regarding Trump but if you read between the lines it was also meant as himself.
maybe it is less investment, than one test launch of Starship 😃 It is probably mostly hedging, "just in case - so the Trump crowd would not turn against him and his business if they win....
Tech bros including Musk think they can pick their guy for President on the cheap. But every headline saying they are dropping a ‘big’ wad here and there towards Trump and Vance, ensures another million women put their hands in their pocket for Harris. And each of those women will vote. This election won’t be won on X, it’s already been determined by the decisions of a Republican packed Supreme Court and the criminal and misogynistic behaviour of Trump.
The shocking thing is that Trump thinks revealing he's accepting what is (although technically legal) effectively $180 million in prospective bribes makes him more appealing as a candidate.
Nope. Like 97% of the world's population (and the majority of Mastodon users, judging by the polls I've seen) I am not American. I'd love the power to make Elon Musk spend $180m *wisely*, but that may well be beyond mere mortals.

I don't think Elmo's going to give Trump a dime.

Great sentiment, but it'll be no skin off his arse.

in reply to Rod Hilton • • •180M is nothing to Elon.
Elon, Doe X and EV maker, is giving 45M/mo to Trump, Doe 174, who wants to end EVs.
Why would Elon put money on a guy who wants to end EVs?
Something has me thinking Kung Fu practice with Ghislaine isn't kung Fu practice.
