Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

He managed to buy the American presidency so why not aim for more?

At least he's not smart about it and just yells it all in public. If he ever realizes he can do it quietly it'll be an even bigger problem.

That's the thing I don't get. Trump got the presidency, he can just carry Elon aside like a burger wrapper

Are you under the impression that Trump actually has a lot of money? You don't get rich by bankrupting businesses, and he's done a lot of that.

He certainly doesn't have enough to maintain the lifestyle that he's grown to love.

He's got bribes from all mayor tech companies willing to get in his favor. He doesn't need any more money. He can order the mint to print him a stack.

He's got immunity. He can litarally rob a bank and claim his presidential immunity. Hell he can kill Elon and steal his stuff LEGALLY
