CNN is reporting that Musk is going to support Trump to the tune of $45 million per month.
. . . and that he recommended J.D. Vance in a recent call with Trump.
Democrat's heads will be exploding.
GA
With giggles . . .
Oh No! What to do, what to do. Correlation does not imply causation. How to unravel the mystery. I'm so confused. What do we know?
One, Vance was at Mar-a-lago on Saturday morning. hmmm . . .
A consortium of advocates for Vance for VP lobbied Trump - Musk, Carlson & Sacks. But, when?
It was announced on Truth Social Vance was the pick. When? I don't know.
I await for the mystery to be solved while unsure of importance.
Just playing around and might comment on implications politically speaking later. I can say I saw the movie Hillbilly Elegy. Enjoyed it relating to it in the respect I lived in the region at Huntington, WVa.
Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, and David Sacks personally lobbied Trump to pick Vance: report by Business Insider (July 16, 2024)
Highlights . . .
** Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, and David Sacks pushed JD Vance as GOP VP nominee, according to Axios.
** Vance, a 39-year-old Ohio senator, was named Donald Trump's vice presidential nominee on Monday.
** Musk and Sacks were among those who praised Vance after Trump's announcement.

Vance makes the most sense — beyond being capable and acceptable, he's not another old white guy (that's an open door), and he can't be pegged as a DEI hire.
I like the pick.
GA
Interesting perspective. I think off hand the pick is strategic. Watch out. Conspiracy theory. Swing states? Seeking a resounding for sure popular vote this time?
I like it too! I recently picked up J.D.'s book, 'Hillbilly Elegy', was planning to get to it eventually, but now, I am excited to get into it, asap!
Tsmog mentioned the movie. I'll try that route.
GA
ab, welcome again to the polical forum. I like you here. And above all, welcome to the discussion.
OMG, I don't know why I chucle, jingling, and laughing.
I am wondering if Dr. Jill has started packing yet!?
Anyone that understands what is going on... and Musk is likely such a person if only due to his involvement in so many government contracts and international companies, not to mention his intellect... there is no choice but to support Trump now.
That is looking like the situation. Typical of Musk, he doesn't do stuff half-way. $45 million a month is a game changer. I bet the polls will read differently by the end of the convention.
GA
"What a surprise! Not."
About the heads, I dont know, since Im not a democrat.
Oh no! Snark from Islandmom. I guess your meme is like a joke: If they didn't get it, either the joke is dumb or the receiver is.
GA
Flojera.
Maybe the receiver is off today. Must be all the excitement.
Flojera - lethargy, lack of strength, or you found it a drag?
The 'receiver' issue might be right, but I still don't get it. Can I have another clue?
GA
Didn't know there was a movie, we do actually learn something here every now and then.

Rotten Tomatoes audience score = 82%; Tomatometer = 25%. A Ron Howard Film. Glenn Close. It is streaming on Netflix, today.
I liked it a lot. Like I said, my interest was because I lived in the region back in '66 - '69.
Oh Hell, Musk is moving X And SpaceX To Texas
Musk doesn't like the new California bill about parental notifications of pronoun stuff. So he's leaving, moving X and SpaceX headquarters to Texas before they pass 'Exit' taxes.
GA
The Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Vance pick for VP is an interesting one.
It looks like a new billionaire donor class is forming and supporting the Trump ticket.
Considering the influences and aspirations of Theil and Musk, I consider this the best of all options available to the American people.
Might end up being a tad bit better than the Silicon Valley Progressives & Soros backed insanity that married to Neocon world domination efforts we have seen the past few years.
It won't be long before the comparisons to JP Morgan, Carnegie, and Rockefeller trying to get McKinley elected start.
We frequently speak of the pendulum swing, which looks like what is happening now. It went too far Left and physics is dictating the return swing.
At this point, I'm all for it. I'm even optimistic that there will be some moderation of the return arc. We might have a "normal" set of choices in 2028.
GA
In regards to 2028, I am liking what I am hearing from Vance, IE:

Much of what he says hits home to me. That he has served in the Military, that he had to work his way up the ladder and is not a long in the tooth DC swamp creature, are all things that I consider positives.
I will have to explore this some more along with the CIA, Thiel, Musk, MIC, support behind him.
