Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

How much funding does he think it takes to get people to protest against the world's most publicly obnoxious Nazi?
He's absolutely the kind of person who would think the only reason anyone would ever act like they hate him is because they're being paid to do so. He can't imagine anyone not really thinking he's as great as he thinks he is.
He also loves money and has no principles. People doing something because they have values is just not something he understands.
I mean, the pathology goes so much deeper.
Musk's family hates him. Like they actively go out of their way to speak against him. His father tweets shit about him, his grown children want nothing to do with him but will speak out against him, his ex... Well you could fill a book with that. His mother and his youngest child (who he uses like a prop) are the only ones that haven't publicly worked against him
What friends does he have? His billionaire buddies will make moves with him, but we've seen the text chains - it's all business. They barely react when he goes against his word... They congratulated him for buying Twitter himself after making plans to go into it together that he backed out of - no way that wasn't a backhanded compliment
Trump hates his guts... But sucks up to him. What friends does he have? He has sycophants, he has people eager to use him... But every relationship he has is based around the fact he's the richest billionaire. If he loses that, what does he have? Who does he have?
TLDR:
He has to pay people to pretend to like him, so he thinks the people who hate him have been paid too.
Deep down, he knows, and it torments him. Unfortunately he's rich enough to take it out on the world.
Seems like something a person trying to buy votes would say.
