Musk is very specific here but doesn’t mention the money he fronted. Is he basically admitting that he helped rig the elections in those marginal seats?

You mean, do what the Republicans do all the fucking time? I’m shocked.
And how did that work for GOP, you say? Erm, they got 3 Supreme Court Justices and gummed up most of Obama and Biden’s legislative agenda. So it worked pretty damned well

Who the hell has been advising President Biden regarding his son’s travails? They’ve done a piss-poor job and handed priceless ammunition to President Trump with this flip-flop

Just reiterating this. I see no reason for the current President to do this. You can be damned sure T-47 would do the same
