Might have dawned on him that getting completely sideways with a potential Harris administration could be bad for his interests. Now that Trump doesn't look like quite such a sure thing.
Am I wrong to read this as he now views Trump’s tweet election as less likely so he’s hedging his bets?

Musk is backing down from his $45M/month Trump pledge….
That’s what I think. Maybe Gwynne Shotwell from SpaceX sat him down and reminded him how many billions are coming from federal contracts and Kamala had a better than 50% chance of winning.Am I wrong to read this as he now views Trump’s tweet election as less likely so he’s hedging his bets?

Lawmaker flags concern over X users being blocked from following Harris.
After some users on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, were blocked from following Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign account in recent days, members of the House Judiciary Committee aired concerns that the platform might be censoring political speech.
In a letter to Representative Jim Jordan, Republican of Ohio and the committee’s chair, Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York and the ranking member, wrote: “X may be intentionally throttling or blocking Vice President Harris’s ability to communicate with potential voters. If true, such action would amount to egregious censorship based on political and viewpoint discrimination.”
All while Trump put his name on a competing platform.Amazing how Elon argues for Trump's and the GOP's first amendment rights to literally lie their asses off and get away with it all against the Democrats while he possibly wants to deny those same rights to everyone else on his platform. It's like he's running these plays straight out of Putin's, Jong Un's and Jinping's playbooks right down to doing it wholesale and daring anyone to stop them.

There is a reason the magats stopped talking stock market, unemployment, gdp or that inflation is nearing target and that the US is very strong compared to other nations. Doesn’t fit their narrative.
See greenman. I posted link to actual objective data. Not your anecdotal confirmation bias bullshit.
I get this its just sort of different where a film is edited or created to be extremely lifelike with an AI image. That’s a whole different ballgame than some porn chick who looks similar to Sara Palin pretending to be Sara Impalin or some silly name.Rule 34 has been around forever, I really don't understand how AI really changes that legally. But I guess legal isn't necessarily "smart."

How do you get to be the VP pick for the GOP?
Peter Thiel has bankrolled Vance since day one and since he can simply walk him in like that he must be dropping a ton on Trump as well.
Add Musk money and the Twitter takeover to steer national sentiment..
I mean fuck these billionaires... its almost like a coup.
Anyone saying the border issue is important to them can be reminded that Republicans blocked their own border bill specifically because they didn't want the issue fixed because then they couldn't hammer Democrats about the border.
How is the concept of incumbency not inherited by all Democrats?I mean, Republicans have been claiming for years that she isn't doing anything, isn't getting anything accomplished, etc. Hard to say now that she was the mastermind behind all our problems, yeah?

Guess I’ll repost it here too:Republicans not be overtly racist about this thing challenge: impossible
Yeah they really just can't help themselves they're that horrible. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that Kamala is their kryptonite. Both by being a woman, a minority, and pretty fucking smartRepublicans not be overtly racist about this thing challenge: impossible
I can't find it at the moment, but someone posted a clip of SNL Celebrity Jeopardy with the host saying something, "I'd like to remind our contestants to avoid saying racist things" and the caption "Mike Johnson reminding members of his party for the next few months"Republicans not be overtly racist about this thing challenge: impossible
"She's not a candidate for anything!"Meanwhile, Trump doing Trumpy things…
The Trump campaign filed a long-shot challenge to block Vice President Kamala Harris from campaign funds in what used to be the joint Biden-Harris war chest, in a complaint filed Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission.
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign claims Harris fraudulently grabbed funds contributed to a different candidate in the launch of her own presidential campaign, according to a letter to the commission viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
“Until Sunday, while Joe Biden had previously stated his intention to place Kamala Harris’s name in nomination to be his running mate, Kamala Harris was not actually a candidate for anything,” wrote Trump lawyer David A. Warrington in the letter. “Kamala Harris is in the process of committing the largest campaign finance violation in American history”.

Seriously, she should just be like 'okay' and split the extra between donations to the ACLU and ASPCA.According to NewsMax Trump is murdering Harris in the polls, and t
It's almost like he doesn't understand since Biden announced he was stepping down that she has had multiple record days for donations. She would do just fine with "only" the $100+ millions in donations she's gotten in less than a week.
His desperation here is truly delightful.
