He has like 30 something felonies and openly admitted to rigging the voting computers. The man could commit murder on stage and still somehow continue being president.

Got a source? I remember him saying Elon was great at the voting computers but that's not exactly the same thing.

Parent commenter may be recalling this story but not sure

Beginning at 2:31:24, the full quote reads:

[Musk] journeyed to Pennsylvania where he spent like a month and a half campaigning for me in Pennsylvania, and he's a popular guy, and he was very effective. And he knows those computers better than anybody, all those computers, those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like, in a landslide, so it was pretty good, it was pretty good. So, thank you to Elon.

He did? We have him on tape trying to get votes that didn't exist, but haven't heard much about voting computers being rigged.

[-] Tortl@lemm.ee 16 points 10 months ago

He vaguely implied Elon was rigging them, saying he had a "little secret" that was going to win them the election

[-] huppakee@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Vaguely implied is very different to openly admitted lol

[-] Tortl@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Just telling you what I know I'm not the one who said he openly admitted it

[-] huppakee@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

I'm not implying you do, just acknowledging what you say is very different than what someone else says. Also not saying I don't believe you, I do.

Political ideologues don't care about reality.
