robosmith Posted June 6, 2024 Report Posted June 6, 2024 Why is a group of billionaires working to re-elect Trump? Quote Elon Musk and the entrepreneur and investor David Sacks reportedly held a secret dinner party of billionaires and millionaires in Hollywood last month. Its purpose: to defeat Joe Biden and re-install Donald Trump in the White House. The guest list included Peter Thiel, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Milken, Travis Kalanick, and Steven Mnuchin, Trump’s treasury secretary. Meanwhile, Musk is turning up the volume and frequency of his anti-Biden harangues on Twitter/X, the platform he owns. According to an analysis by the New York Times, Musk has posted about the president at least seven times a month, on average, this year. He has criticized Biden on issues ranging from Biden’s age to his policies on health and immigration, calling Biden “a tragic front for a far left political machine”. The Times analysis showed that over the same period of time, Musk has posted more than 20 times in favor of Trump, claiming that the criminal cases the former president now faces are the result of media and prosecutorial bias. This is no small matter. Musk has 184 million followers on X, and because he owns the platform he’s able to manipulate the algorithm to maximize the number of people who see his posts. No other leader of a social media firm has gone as far as Musk in supporting authoritarian leaders around the world. In addition to Trump, Musk has used his platform in support of India’s Narendra Modi, Argentina’s Javier Milei and Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro. Some of this aligns with Musk’s business interests. In India, he secured lower import tariffs for Tesla vehicles. In Brazil, he opened a major new market for Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet service. In Argentina, he solidified access to lithium, the mineral most crucial to Tesla’s batteries. But something deeper is going on. Musk, Thiel, Murdoch and their cronies are leading a movement against democracy. Peter Thiel, the billionaire tech financier, once wrote: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.” If freedom is not compatible with democracy, what is it compatible with? Thiel donated $15m to the successful Republican senatorial campaign of JD Vance, who alleged that the 2020 election was stolen and that Biden’s immigration policy meant “more Democrat voters pouring into this country”. (Vance is now high on the list of Trump vice-presidential possibilities.) Thiel also donated at least $10m to the Arizona Republican primary race of Blake Masters, who also claimed Trump won the 2020 election and admires Lee Kuan Yew, the authoritarian founder of modern Singapore. Billionaire money is now gushing into the 2024 election. Just 50 families have already injected more than $600m into the 2024 election cycle, according to a new report from Americans for Tax Fairness. Most of this is going to the Trump Republican party. They are backing FASCISM. AKA, anti-democracy authoritarianism which is friendly to CORPORATE POWER. 🤮 Quote

Thirty-two billionaires and their spouses gave to Biden’s campaign in March, including 27 who donated to Biden for the first time, according to a Forbes analysis of the latest Federal Election Commission filings. Aren't they backing the first President to use lawfare against a political rival? Isn't that far more authoritarian than the President that cut regulations and taxes while securing the boarder and maintaining international peace? A cursory read of this article appears to show that it is a hit piece, designed to suppress Musk's opinions regarding Biden. Why does the left have to try and stop conservatives from talking? We love it when yall talk. We know what you are saying is crap. We want everyone else to hear it, so they know who to vote for. We only lose when libs hide their message well enough.

You have no clue what 'democracy' even requires, and you're dead against it. FYI when FB, Twitter, Google and Microsoft were all banning people from the internet for telling the truth, it was Elon Musk who bought Twitter and broke TNI's monopoly on the news. Now you tell me, fok-fok, is a monopoly on the news democratic, or anti-democratic?

No "lawfare," JUST enforcement of the laws with EVIDENCE and JURIES.
