I want to know why anyone still uses that shitty Nazi site he bought.
I guess maybe? Since technically, he did buy it, right? But this is sort of like calling the cops because someone stole your heroin, isn’t it??
How can this man walk freely on the street? He would get shanked in prison and those dudes have to make knives with toothbrushes and other garbage.
This idiot just walks around and no one shoots their shot.
Well, I mean he had an entire security detail deputized by the US Marshalls....so it's not like he's just walking out in the open. The guy surrounds himself with sycophants and other billionaires, it's the only way to completely isolate yourself from reality.
I don't think he's really made an actual public appearance since being booed on stage at that chapel show, and that was by people going to see an unfunny transphobe.
3..2..1.. wooowww, is he REALLY saying that? I am SO surprised and I really NEVAH expected this to happen! Oh my God, did this really happen?
Nah, of course not
We all knew immediately after her win that this was the next step. First try to cheat, if that doesn't work, lie about the other cheating to get what you want.
Elmo is a mysigenic sociopathic narcissist sho actively destroys and ends lives.
YOU LITERALLY BOUGHT VOTES
…Which is why he thinks it’s rigged…
He's been able to get whatever he wants by throwing money at it his whole life, so when it doesn't work he automatically cries foul.
Exactly like Trump.
Oh look, Conservatives sowing more doubt and mistrust because they can't handle it when faced with how unpopular they are.
Quelle surprise.
Sowing like planting seeds not sewing like creating a garment
But now that I think about it they both kinda work... sewing the threads of lies.
Instead of a seamstress, we've got a memestress.
You know, I looked at that and knew it looked wrong but brain couldn't figure out why.
Thanks!
Also not sure what it means to quelle surprise.
It's French for what a surprise
I also have no clue. Though Quelle in German is a spring, or source.
Yes I’m familiar with the German word Quelle. All bottled carbonated water in Germany seems to come from one Quelle or another.
I’m thinking they were going for the English word “quell”?
quell /kwĕl/
transitive verb
-
To put down forcibly; suppress.
"Police quelled the riot."
-
To pacify; quiet.
"finally quelled the children's fears."
-
To take the life of; to kill.
Similar: kill
Perhaps some leading election deniers are motivated by a psychological defense mechanism, but I think that many realize the strategic benefit. The members of the public who are convinced that Democrats steal elections will vote Republican. They'll also be more willing to accept a Republican refusing to leave office after losing an election, if things come to that.
Anyone voting Republican after 2017 is a lost cause. No matter what happens they are voting R. Save your breath and sympathy.

Musk = POS Nazi.
Everything is stolen when your a South African Nazi fascist who was unable to buy the vote they wanted.
Hey F’Elon; how about returning those billions of dollars you’ve stolen from the U.S. government (and many other governments) over the past decade.
Fuck you Elon 🖕
Ya know, Elon...
A bit?
Don't undersell the oligarch's image. He's worked hard to earn.
The only work he's personally performed these past decades.
Musk boosted a post by Alex Jones featuring Roger Stone
It's like a who's who of absolutely garbage people.
Roy Cohn was also consulted by seance.
"I WASNT ABLE TO BUY THIS ELECTION DESPITE MY VAST WEALTH, SO OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE ELSE BOUGHT THIS ELECTION AND STOLE IT WITH THEIR VAST WEALTH, ITS THE ONLY CONCEIVABLE REASON WHY I COULD POSSIBLY LOSE!"
He's salty because he got outbid. Damned eBay snipers.
Elon, this isn't an auction you disphit
Your attempts to steal an election were subverted and now you're complaining. Fucking GOLD.
This is a guy who wants to blame the world for his botched gender affirmation surgery that left him with a mangled useless sex organ.
No wonder he hates trans people so much.
No wonder he has so many ivf babies with multiple women.
No wonder he wants to experiment on unwilling human subjects in El Salvador until he can get the neuralink chip to work (he wants to be able to push a button to get off. He has been waiting years for his tantric release. There is no other way)
No wonder he’s so rich yet seems so unhappy.
botched gender affirmation surgery that left him with a mangled useless sex organ
I keep hearing this around here. Is there any actual reason to think it's true?
Even if the bit about the surgery is true, it's a very reductive explanation of issues which clearly aren't new in his life. He was brought up by far-right parents and his father apparently showed him no love. He has been poisonously insecure all his life, only now he has the power to inflict his psychological troubles on the world. Ever since he got financially lucky in the 1990s, he has had the money to buy influence and pay people to do what he wants, so he has never become equipped to deal with people as equals and has all kinds of issues and insecurities around power. He discovered early that, while he had trouble making friends, he could make an impression on people by being edgy and controversial, and has never managed to move beyond this into a more mature persona.
I feel like saying "it's all because of his wonky penis" trivializes how profoundly this man's life has messed him up, and how many complex factors are at work in his psyche. It also implicitly insults anyone else who doesn't have "normal" genitalia.
how profoundly this man’s life has messed him up, and how many complex factors are at work in his psyche.
Why should we give a single fuck? This guy lies, cheat and sayd himself he thinks empathy is a weakness. Why should have any towards him. He calls everyone he disagree losers, called my prime minister "girl" and openly makes nazi salutes, and you want us to play the "Tell me about chilhood Elon" card? He's a little narcissist privilege bitch who's been exploiting people all his life, and I will be happy to take a piss on his grave. And I have no doubt the size of his dick (it's obviously tiny) is one of the reasons he want's to make the world suffer.
It's not that I feel any particular sympathy for Elon Musk. But I'm sure there are lots of people living with small dicks who don't experience any need to become crazy Nazis, and lots of crazy Nazis with sizeable penises. I just feel this whole "a man needs a big dick to be secure, and any insecure man has a small dick" thing is a somewhat offensive outlook.
The reason to make fun of his dick size is because that's one of the only way that we can get to him. This guys controls half of the planet, the only thing we have is to make fun of him on social networks. You can call him a racist pos, transphobe, hateful, he actually takes prides into this. But call him a small dick and you just know he will spent the night convincing himself he as the biggest dick on the planet. Just like Donald the pedo and crowd size.
I'm sure a lot a men with small dicks are perfectly happy and secure about themselves, because they don't live in a superficial privilege bubble, just like lots of men rock their grey hairs and balding. But you got to admit Musk screams insecurity so it's totally fine to assume the size of dick is something he thinks about all the time.
The only way we can be sure is to inspect the genitals.
Prove there is a penis that can get an erection.
Otherwise “he” might be using the WRONG BATHROOM!!!!!!!
I looked into it a week or two ago and couldn't find any definitive evidence. It seems plausible because Musk is well known for being into plastic surgery and IVF, but other than a musician who knows Grimes publicly claiming that Grimes confirmed it to them, I didn't see anything that looked convincing.
If he wanted us to care, he should try using empathy. He went in the opposite direction and now reaps what he has sown.

He thinks it's "stolen" because he also thought he had bought it and thus owned it.
He still has his receipts! But there's a no-return policy for purchased elections.
Alex Jones and Roger Stone, two stand up guys if I’ve ever heard of any!
With the right, it’s. Always. Projection.
At this point, I don't see how we can ever trust conservative again. They kept showing they won't play by any rules, they are willing to lie, cheat and manipulate to get what they want. The left needs to radicalize his actions, you cannot negotiate with cheaters.

OF COURSE it was. Nobody would legitimately not sleep with Musk, I mean not want to be his daughter, I mean, not vote the way he dictated unless there was outside influence.
Couldn't be him.
See! I TOLD you! That this was Rigged and NOT that Republicans are Predictable Babies who claim EVERY SINGLE ELECTION THEY LOSE is Rigged!
He and Trump and GOP aren't petty there. They inject more distrust about the whole idea of voting. Rich people and corporation can lobby, but they still can't directly buy an election or a cabinet seat in the open. They spend a lot to push up some candidate after ensuring their loyalty, and it seems suboptimal to them. There is a golden moment where you probably can game the system to make max profits and then grab the bag and run. Because democracies are at least stable, and when they roll into dictatorships, you stop playing solitaire, it's now blackjack and you are walking a thin line between bankruptcy and being shot dead by a firing squad, because your elected politician has too much power to be securely bought.
I feel like it's disproportionally favors developing startups\companies\scams who need some boost to start to break even, or old blood that can tolerate some pain if they may consume every other actor on the scene.
There are benefactors to that, and they are the worst people on the market who would only accelerate the collapse for their short term gains.
