He must be shitting himself a bit.

If Democrats take the general election, he could lose government funding for Spacex.

And government agency investigations into some of his dealings will restart.

Certainly he will try and cosy up with the next government.

He'll be willing to give them billions. Lets see.

@Hardkill  I am curious, do you think this result means that the Iran war will come to an end now ?

I mean finally we will see some kind of a vote on this issue, right.

Hopefully, if Democrats win back the presidency, they will be able to put a major check on corporate tyrants like him.

Well, Trump is saying that he is now regretting the war. So, perhaps he might call an end for this war.

However, some are saying that he may decide to further escalate the war to cause enough of a crisis to help Netanyahu win re-election in Israel and to create chaos and fear in the world and in America.

He's also very unpredictable in many ways. 

So, I don't know.

When Musk tries to turn Democrat again in the future, the question is, will they show some integrity and refuse to take his money.

Why beg, when they could do it through the tax system :D:D:D?

Wouldn't it be neat if "Muskrat's money" was used to fund basic public services for all people in the US?

He won't need it anyway after he is offered a jailcell. Or perhaps, he might want to fund better prison equipment for all to pimp his own quarter :D. 


Bismillah, c'est les ténèbres !

Yeah, it would be nice if this was the beginning of the end of the billionaire class.

Surely if Trump escalates now, they will have the power to strait up impeach him, no ?

I suppose they already have that power now.

The worst is over, hopefully

I got PTSD.

After 10 years of this nightmare, I have learned to know something even more astonishing than I dare to imagine always come with The Orange One.

Do you think billionaires in and of themselves are the problem? For me it's the fact that a lot manage to skirt around the rule of law and it's the corruption and the tax avoidance that hurts the people not really their wealth accumulation. Great business people that build successful enterprises should be rewarded but not stand above the law.

Greed is the problem.

We have had so much technological advancement, yet young people have less purchasing power

than boomers had when they were the same age.

@LordFall  If you truly cared about people, and you started a world changing organization, would you feel comfortable being a billionaire, when some of your employees struggle to make ends meet. It's a little crazy no ?

Yes but a lot of billionaires turn many of their employees into millionaires. Thousands of Meta employees became millionaires by working under Mark for example. There is such a thing as a business structured as a shared ownership cooperative and people do start them but they don't tend to work very well.

Yeah but that's mostly due to fiscal policy of the Government and macroeconomics. Not really individual business owners. Which is why I'm excited about socialist figures being empowered in US politics currently.

Yeah business owners and socialist politicians need to find a way to work together.

Dudes can be rich, but do you really need a billion lol

Dignity for all.

Don't even attempt to impeach Trump. You'll never get the amount of senate votes for it, you'll just be wasting political capital and it will actually bolster Trump.

Better to just let him sit there and flail and fuck up so that 2028 is also a bloodbath.
