Summary
Elon Musk, after spending $21 million backing conservative Brad Schimel in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, amplified election fraud claims following Schimel’s loss to liberal judge Susan Crawford.
Musk boosted a post by Alex Jones featuring Roger Stone, who alleged mail-in vote fraud. Schimel rejected the claims, urging supporters to accept the results.
Musk pivoted to highlighting a voter ID ballot measure, though Wisconsin already requires ID. Critics see his reaction as echoing Trump-era denialism.
Despite GOP pressure, Schimel’s concession stood out for its rare break from MAGA conspiracy rhetoric.
YOU LITERALLY BOUGHT VOTES
…Which is why he thinks it’s rigged…
Can’t argue with that logic. CHECK AND MATE, LIBERAL!
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.
Really? I want to know how Leon Hitler manipulated the voting machines in the swing states.
I didn’t win an election I was trying to rig, it must be a fix.
What a fucking flex 😂
Luigi his ass already! What a fucking loser he is.
Your attempts to steal an election were subverted and now you’re complaining. Fucking GOLD.
Oh look, Conservatives sewing more doubt and mistrust because they can’t handle it when faced with how unpopular they are.
Quelle surprise.
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.
I disagree. While I will never forgive those voters, I don’t think most of them are lost causes. They’ve been manipulated by the largest, most well-funded misinformation and propaganda campaign ever waged against the American people.
Exercising even the smallest amount of critical thinking skills protects oneself against most of it, but no one is completely immune to misinformation.
Sure buddy I’m sum it up for you. “Two Trump Elections.” But keep turning the other cheek. This time Lucy won’t pull the football. She promised. 🙄
Anyone who still supports HitlerPig is as much a traitor and Nazi as he is. If you don’t like hearing that, atop being a traitor and a Nazi.
I’m not sure how that’s related to what I wrote.
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.
Also not sure what it means to quelle surprise.
I also have no clue. Though Quelle in German is a spring, or source.
It’s French for what a surprise
You know, I looked at that and knew it looked wrong but brain couldn’t figure out why.
Thanks!
Instead of a seamstress, we’ve got a memestress.
You have to understand his perspective. He paid for it, so he thinks it’s his
Elon, this isn’t an auction you disphit
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 🖕
I want to know why anyone still uses that shitty Nazi site he bought.
Because it’s the site where you can follow and interact with the most people.
You spelled bots wrong homie.
Sure, there are bots. There are also a lot of real people, politicians, journalists, analysts, software engineers etc.
I actually tried to replace X a few weeks ago and considered Mastodon and Bluesky. Nobody I follow on X is on Mastodon, and only three are on Bluesky.
Go outside? I have never used Twitter and live a perfectly normal life. I have access to plenty of information and opinions from paid subscriptions to newspapers and personal blogs. No one can communicate anything serious on Twitter. For sport highlights or similar - I get it. For anything else - a social tool - people have simply forgotten to go outside and do real stuff with real people. You are lying to yourself by saying Twitter provides something you can’t live without.
You answer to finding a platform that provides most of the information I want to have is to … go outside? Do you think that’s even remotely helpful?
Dont be lazy and find it elsewhere? I didnt realize twitter was where all new things come from.
I’m guessing you didn’t read my comment two steps above…
No one in their right mind should want to interact with the nazi-loving scum on that shit hole.
It’s almost as if there are many different people on that website.
And if they’re still on there they’re supporting a Nazi shit head. People need to migrate their communities. Stop being lazy. Stop being part of the problem. Get off the nazi website
I actually looked up the people I follow on X on other platforms such as Mastodon & Bluesky, I found 0 on Mastodon and 3 on Bluesky…
Who/what do you follow that is worth supporting the app? I have never used Twitter/x, I’m genuinely curious
A few examples include Drop Site, Aymeric Canon, Mary Kostakidis, Bruno Tertrais, Marco Botenga MEP, Régis Le Sommier, Dr Jimmy Mohamed, Ian Caroll, Rachel Blevins, Scott Ritter, Trita Parsi, Kenneth Roth, Dominique De Villepin…
And its a shitty thing for each of them to use the website.
You’re entitled to your opinions.
Unfortunately, the art community is still big. No other platform has as much engagement with small time artists. I use it just for that. Sometimes Ill get curious and see political tweets. They’re almost always filled to the brim with comments spouting: hate, disinformation or deflection. You’ll see sane comments but the algorithm buries them. I’m sure most are bots but the nazi-ism is definitely boosted.
I’ve made accounts on bsky, pixelfed and cara and post there also. Unfortunately the masses haven’t moved to those yet so commissions and posts are sparse.
Would be interesting if everyone still stuck using it consistently advertised a discount for finding them on any site besides Twitter. Might not make the biggest difference by itself but it could start a trickle that turns into the flood.
Basically a surcharge for users that only know Twitter or otherwise wouldn’t be bothered by the noise. Maybe call it a tarrif that can be easily avoided :)
Twitter overtook deviant art?
he payed for that election fair and square!!!
Poor Musk was robbed, he was promised that if he paid generously, the election result would be guaranteed. In the end he was cheated, it’s unfair. Cry, Cry, crocodile tears. 😭
Alex Jones and Roger Stone, two stand up guys if I’ve ever heard of any!
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.
Musk = POS Nazi.
