Musk may donate $100 million to President Trump's political operation

[martybegan]

That is not true. Show me where a Democratic white house advisor gave 100 million dollars directly to political organizations directly under the President's control. Show me further where a president of the United States hawked cars in front of the White House like a used car salesman.

What does it matter if it's an advisor.

Bloomberg gave 151 million in 2019-2020 to various DEM pacs.

Who are the Biggest Donors?

Biden endorsing American made electric vehicles.

Just add Musk to the list of people who eventually will go to jail or be ruined for working with Trump. Then saved/pardoned/bailed out?

After a protracted legal saga in which he was held in contempt twice, Rudy Giuliani has finally put an end to the defamation case brought by two former Georgia election workers, having “fully satisfied” the judgment against him last week.

According to Monday’s federal court filing, Giuliani has satisfied the judgment that required him to pay Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss nearly $150 million for spreading lies about them after the 2020 election.

OMG did Trump pay Rudy's legal bills?

This happened 2 months ago.

 

[sealybobo]

No, it's contributions to political action groups that align with Trump's agenda.

All legal.

Just remember, it's all legal now. Even when we do it. Stop crying about what Hunter did when Trump's kids do it now.

Those were DIRECT payments to people as well as paid jobs for relatives.

You are trying to compare apples and tonka trucks.

It's not a bribe.

By that logic the UFT donating to Dems who want to preserve the DoE are bribing the officials in DoE.

-He is in a position to insure he has massive contracts to his companies and punish his business rivals.
-Trump is under pressure because of him.
-He gives Trump an additional $100MM.
-He remains in a position to insure he has massive contracts to his companies and punish his business rivals. .

Some people who are ruined are saved. Rudy got saved. Some get stuck in jail for years before Trump saves them. I bet a lot of people were THRILLED when Trump won. Because they will not go to jail for their crimes.

What ever happened to Sidney Powell? Trump's lawyer who hacked into an electronic voting machine in the middle of the night in a district that votes 70% Republican. 2020. What was she trying to do? Find Trump 12,000 votes?

he already had a big contract with the government via SpaceX.

He might give 100M to Trump ALIGNED PACs, that are unrelated to Trump but promote his agenda.

He's actually punishing his own company by recommending the removing of spending for EV initiatives.

Musk, a special government employee, seeks to give Trump $100MM. In ye olden times (2024) that might be considered bribery.

Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chiefElon Musk is once again backing US President Donald Trump, signalling his intent to contribute $100 million to groups aligned with ‘Trump’s political operation’.

According to The New York Times report, the announcement is one of a kind since it is “unheard of for a White House staffer, even one with part-time status, to make such large political contributions”.

Musk’s announcement comes amid support from Trump for his electric car company Tesla as the car sales fall drastically. Trump backtracked from his earlier stance on electric vehicles and bought a Tesla alongside Musk after both the company and its boss are facing backlash over his ‘controversial’ political views.


Supporting Musk, Trump mentioned, “Number one, it’s a great product, as good as it gets. And number two, because this man [Elon Musk] has devoted his energy and his life to doing this and I think he has been treated very unfairly.”

Musk’s donation​

The report suggests that Trump and Musk executives are in talks for his planned donations. Tesla CEO has signalled that he does not wish to donate to America PAC, which is his own ‘super political action committee’, an organisation, which in the past has spent heavily on Trump. However, the billionaire now wishes to donate to an ‘outside entity’ associated directly with Trump.

LOL. I find it fascinating that you clowns and your media are constantly saying Trump said this and that with no evidence and yet here you are making a claim without evidence to back it up.

Hilarious

He had the ears of the people in power, and was able to implement his influence behind closed doors. Musk is doing it all out in the open.

And you aren't getting away with just glossing over me showing you Biden advocating an EV Jeep, poseur.

 

[Billiejeens]

The pimping of the White House by Trump is in full force and effect.

Corruption is so open now, why even hide it.

I LOVE IT!

No evidence is required
It's the Narrative.

The fact that Musk "is doing it out in the open" has to be among the most stupid responses one can make.

I suppose if Musk shoots someone that is okay if it is "out in the open."

You can't get more inane than that logic.

We find it funny we can hear Trump say something and you say he didn't say it.

Perfect example is when he said ingest detergents. We said he said drink bleach? Well google ingest detergent and guess what comes up?

What Happens When You Drink Bleach?​

So it's the same thing. But you're stupid enough to argue "he didn't say drink bleach".

No. He suggested ingesting bleach

I LOVE IT!

Of course you do!

It was an unspoken deal for generations of presidential hopefuls. A well-connected person helps get you elected, and in return, you make that person an ambassador somewhere exotic as a token of your gratitude.

It was a practice that Joe Biden, then a candidate seeking to court progressives skeptical of his campaign, pledged to end. More than two years into his administration, however, Biden appears to have all but abandoned that pledge.

According to a newly released report by the nonpartisan government watchdog Campaign Legal Center (CLC), Biden has not only continued the bipartisan practice of rewarding deep-pocketed donors with ambassadorships but embraced it, with nearly all of the United States' chief foreign policy representatives abroad among the top contributors to Democratic causes over the past decade.

It's a sharp departure from where Biden was on the campaign trail in Iowa in 2019, when he told reporters the practice of cash for influence would die under his administration, and that merit—not influence—would determine who would play the front for America's presence abroad.

"I'm going to appoint the best people possible," Biden said at the time. "Nobody, in fact, will be appointed by me based on anything they contributed.

Still, he added, "you have some of the people out there...that are fully qualified to head up everything from being the ambassador to NATO to be ambassador to France...who may or may not have contributed."

But he insisted those contributions "would not be any basis" for his decision.

It's a common practice for presidents of both parties. Former President Barack Obama tapped 31 major donors from his reelection campaign to serve as ambassadors at the end of his tenure in the White House

What he is doing is perfectly legal.

Again you won't acknowledge I found Biden promoting Jeep with a 5 second google search.

 

[jc456]

An open bribe is still a bribe.

so you're saying no one in politics does this practice with donors? You can't be that ignorant. hilarious though.
