Musk says he'll spend about $180 million to elect Trump.

They are the nation's two most powerful enemies of democracy (though Musk has some competition for second place) and, by extension, freedom of expression.

Everyone who buys a Tesla is supporting them.

Everyone who uses the deadbird site -- notably the journalists, who all know what they're doing -- is supporting them.

Don't pretend otherwise.

@dangillmor Let's not forget who they are:

@unlucio @dangillmor

Is that genuine??

And yeah, Musk's "fortune" is paid for by the USA tax payers. I though that was well known.

@unlucio

Thanks for that.

I'm not a US citizen, so am not aware of many details/events, although I did know about Musk's funding. Really, I've just been watching the gradual global demise into fascism over these last ~10yrs. When I talked to people about it back then, they thought I was just a bit lost. I wish they'd been right.

@gsymon indeed and same here.

I'm waiting for the rest of humanity to realize where all this is coming from.
