Talk about clickbait,.what a total nothing burger this video is.

Elon implied to his gullible girlfriend he influenced the election.

in real life, It's public information how much money he paid to buy the election. This video is not, in any sense, news.

Yeah he was openly illegally buying votes. It's pretty likely he was funding some of the voter suppresion and disinfo campaigns too.

Yeah, I hate how everyone instantly jumps to conspiracies these days. Especially when you don't need conspiracies to openly see all the terrible crimes those people have done out in the open.

Conspiracies: Trump fake electors plot, Jamal Khashoggi assassination, Gretchen Whiitmer kidnapping plot, Project 2025. Groups of people secretly plotting and executing harmful or illegal acts occur regularly.

People should be aware of conspiracies supported by solid evidence. In this video, on the contrary, there is no evidence and no point figuring out what she means anyway.

Musk has a long line of angry gold diggers whining about him.

They’re all full of shit or traitors or both. They need all their devices, bank accounts, associates, communications heavily investigated and made public.

It does correlate with Elon’s kid saying all that creepy stuff in the White House.

If this ends up actually amounting to anything, everyone owes all the folks who were insisting this was the case in Nov. 2024 and getting told to shut up a big appology.

He says that he has 10 000 lasers in space, refering to his satellites

There's no doubt in my mind that Musk helped Trump influence the '24 election, but his brain is really fried, and I like that she put that quote out front, effectively saying: take everything with a rock of salt.

What ever happened to the story about the teen he hired during the election cycle who made a ballot generator software and left his GitHub up with it by mistake? That seemed like a pretty huge red flag in 2024 and now I can't find shit about it

Did she say that Elon has space lasers? Because then the US is prepared for nuclear war and can take down ICBMs.

So she has evidence but doesn't want to release it? She didn't want to know more because she didn't want to be disposed? What a selfish prick.
