And that's not a joke. But look, I'm not going to waste all the time. I'm in. I'm going to talk about it. His running mate. His running mate, Elon Musk. Seriously. Seriously. Where is Senator Vance after he got asked the simplest question in the world at the debate, Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election? And after two weeks, he finally said no, he didn't. That's where he's been spending his time. But that's it. So look, Elon's on that stage, jumping around, skipping like a dipshit on these things. You know it.

So now Elon Musk is meeting with world leaders as a unelected, but basically the main ambassador for the United States. Although we did not elect him to do that. He's on the phone with Zelinsky and it should be noted that he previously had said some pret bad things about Zelinsky, you know, before he was posting all those right wing kind of anti Zelinsky memes. You know, Musk is around Donald Trump like 247 now. He was with Donald Trump when Trump spoke to the House Republicans. He got a standing ovation right there. And you know, one of the messages also that's being sent in my opinion is that because Elon Musk is spending hundreds of millions of dollars, potentially billions of dollars now on election, which by the way was made possible thanks to the Citizens United decision, which destroyed bipartisan campaign finance reform by saying that corporations are people that have a First Amendment right to contribute a little unlimited funds in campaigns, you know, without any types of safeguards or checks or balances. That decision was what, 12, 15 years ago? The message is sent to all of these kind of magazines out there that, you know, if you want Musk to support your campaign, just go along with it. You got to give him everything, you know, and by the way, when Musk then wins these elections, it's a, it's a loop, if you will, because then the value of his stocks go up and he makes more money by getting the people he wants to be put in place elected and by being on phone calls with foreign leaders. The message is clear that you got to do deals with him or else. Here's an article that came out of the New Republic, which was also reported by NBC. They claim that Elon Musk is off everyone on Trump's team because he's behaving like the co president. He's taking credit for Trump's win. He's bragging how it was his pack and X, which was Twitter, that allowed Trump to win and that Trump should be indebted to him. Should also be noted, of course, that Elon Musk had previously said that there will be hardship and turmoil that we will face if Trump wins when they start slashing and taking away all of the slashing 2 trillion from the budget. And now we're seeing economists, some are predicting even a better chance of recession than this, but at least a 75% chance of a recession now. But this is what Elon Musk warned about. He said, I'm going to inflict hardship on you. You're going to, you're going to have hardship. You're going to face a ton of hardship. Now here are just some reactions on Reddit to all of this. Right now they're saying, oh, but these voters all did vote for El Us. They all knew. This game of Fox didn't tell me doesn't make it any better. You went out of your way not to do your homework, your vote, your doge, your face, your leper. Don't worry. If anyone can save the low and middle class, it's two narcissistic billionaires. It's not like Donald Trump literally lives in a penthouse with golden toilet bowls. That's a man of the people right there. Their goal is to abolish the middle class and create worker drones that can be ruthlessly abused, just like they had in their boyhood in South Africa. This one individual. Other people are saying, that's what I don't understand when people say that electing the former guy is a repudiation of the elites. This is a billionaire who lives in a penthouse decked with golden toilets. Like, what are you talking about? It's in large part due to Donald representing a shaking up of the system which he has done and will do to even more disastrous effect. He's constantly attacking our institutions, government, healthcare, the border, and attacking everything. So the Democratic Party has to defend institutions and it's a strategy that leads many to actually vote for him and against their own interests. You see the Doge account right there. And also Elon Musk posted that he's going to, he's only looking to have people who work 80 hours, 80 hours a week for this Doge, for this made up government agency. They have to apply through X, they have to apply through Twitter, they have to have verified accounts if they want access to these government jobs. And that's where they're being told to apply to for a made up government job. That's something that doesn't exist. So again, this is a leopard's eating face moment. But Trump voters are regretting that Elon Musk is serving as a co president and unelected co president who has his own interest at heart. But that's what you get. That's what you voted for.
