Musk to contribute $45M monthly to Trump super PAC

Type "#MAGA" in X

It generates a photo of the "Fight Fist Pump". Going to make leftoids incandescent. Thanks, Elon!

Do Vegas bookies have a Dead Pool going?

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a post on X on Tuesday that he never said he was donating $45 million per month to Republican Donald Trump.

I think he's still dealing with relics of WOKE employees of Christmas Past.
He can't be personally aware of every person that gets blocked on Twitter, I don't think he's personally blocking people.

I find it odd that Kamala's official Presidential banner just says.
Kamala Harris for President, and her www addy.

What is bizarrely missing is the year. I have never seen a political banner for President that didn't include the Year.
Which I see as proof, that she has been chosen as a legal place holder until the contested convention can take place. Had they picked Mark Kelly last week, they would be absorbed in so many lawsuits. It would take their whole war chest to defend.
Often I wish the Trump 2016 flags, bumper stickers and banners didn't have 2016, so they could still be relevant after 2016.

New ones are alive and well. Sign or not, this has a 2016 vibe AND Trump is front running.

Just drove through a good chunk of Wisconsin. Not ONE Harris or Biden sign (yes I know he's done). Those signs can be popped out next day and in peoples lawns the following day. If there was ANY popularity I would have seen one by now. Even in IL.

Also the down ballot signs were all Republicans in Wisconsin. I don't know the math on it, but I could see 320 EC's for Trump. As in a blood bath.

The only thing I've ever been suspended or banned for - and it happened at least half a dozen times including losing one almost 10k account - is for Transskeptic tweets. And that was just before Musk.

I wonder if CA law obligates X to delete Trans tweets?

I'm sure he's not personally aware of most Twitter users, but he is responsible for policy, and the policy is to block entire accounts from using the site until they bow, lick the dirt, delete the offending Tweet, and beg for forgiveness. Bad policy.

Not quite true though. Can you really speak the truth about the trans or homo mental illness on Twitter now?

Remember how Elon switched off Starlink when he learned that Ukies were going to hit Red fleet with drones controlled via that service because he feared that it would cause THERMONUKELAR WW30000!

Now after many imaginary red lines shattered and "Nazis" are freely making lampshades out of Kursk population, burning them in crematoriums and running them over with German tanks and American AFVs while Pukin only making feeble noises about "provocation something something", the time has come to admit that Musk was a stupid cunt when he made that wrong and war-prolonging call. He probably should stay out of geopolitics based on this stupid episode alone.

Ceffer will enjoy this one:

So Elon can pack up Starlink and go home?

Elon is one of the main human beings on the planet that has kept Ukraine from being overrun by providing them this level of communication so they can coordinate and manage their defenses. I can cut Elon alot of slack about not wanting to push too hard early on to not escalate things.

Elon still sounds (and acts) alot more supportive of Ukraine than people like JD Vance.

No, he's contract-bound at this time, so he needs to keep providing the services he was hired for. But he needs to stay out of geopolitics because it's been proven to be way about his paygrade.

PS. And, btw, these drones wrecking Novorossiysk Red Fleet base last night do not rely on Starlink anymore.

Democrats have money and media and will have numbers in the future. Is this the beginning of the end of Republican party? Or have smart Republicans have already figured this out?

Elon Musk Announces SpaceX Plans to Send 5 Unmanned Starships to Mars in 2 Years

The tech entrepreneur has long been leading the calls for humanity to expand its exploration of Earth’s neighboring planet.

Earlier this month, Musk had said that the first Starships to Mars would launch in two years.

He said the missions will launch at that time because it is “when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens.”

On Sunday, Musk said that the timeline for the first human mission will depend upon the success of the unmanned flights.

If the five unmanned Starships land safely, missions with human crews will be launched in four years.

However, in case of challenges, crewed missions will be postponed by another two years, Musk said.

“If those all land safely, then crewed missions are possible in four years,” Musk posted on X.

I have to admit it's inspiring.
