“Get everyone you know, and everyone you don’t know, drag them to register to vote,” said Elon Musk at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “If they don’t, this will be the last election. That’s my prediction.”

“If they don’t, this will be the last election. That’s my prediction.”
As always, projection, projection, projection. Project 2025 says this is literally their goal.
The slate of fake electors in 2020 says this was literally their goal. They already tried it. I’m furious that this isn’t the only thing we talk about.
Never mind talking about it; I’m furious that the treasonous coup leader wasn’t at the end of a rope three years ago.
projection
I dont think people use this term accurately, and it’s thrown around pretty often.
In my opinion, musk isn’t projecting, hes just a deliberate propogandist. He doesn’t believe what he’s saying, honestly he knows it’s a total BS lie. He’s just saying it to energize and sway the cult of dumb-dumbs, many of which will lap it up like hungry puppies.
Projection has a more specific definition which includes denial and actively believing in what you’re projecting. Musk is consciously lying and knows it.
Yes, that’s psychological projection.
But in these situations, people are referring to the technique of propaganda projection.
Ah nice, I stand corrected. Thanks for the info
Trump later invited Musk on stage. The X owner walked on wearing a black blazer over a shirt saying “Occupy Mars” and a black MAGA hat. “As you can see, I’m not just MAGA,” said Musk. “I’m dark MAGA.” Dark MAGA is a memecoin, a type of cryptocurrency inspired by online trends. The valuation of Dark MAGA soared right around the time that Musk spoke.
That’s so grifty. So overtly grifty that it’s approaching “hello fellow kids” levels of transparency. Up there with Jordan Peterson and Russell Brand praying together. It’s just strange and funny to see these grifters all clumping together like this.
Grifters go where the easiest marks are.

So that makes this the, what, fifth crypto pump-and-dump Elon has done? How has the SEC not bagged this guy yet?
I’m not just MAGA,” said Musk. “I’m dark MAGA.”
More like dork maga.
I wish I had the free time and crypto knowledge to create a quick scam MAGA memecoin before election day at this point…
This feels like a reach. It’s probably just a lame appropriation of dark brandon.
Aha.

Now it makes sense.
Also, I am really enjoying their new, desperate voter registration drive. I think they figured out that a bunch of January 6th insurrectionists didn’t even bother voting.

He can’t let a chance to pump 'n dump a shitcoin pass, can he?
It’s always about the grift. That’s why he and Trump get along so well.
He’s like the “Spongebob-as-Quickster” meme:
Wanna see me pump and dump crypto?
…Wanna see me do it again?
That’s it, just grifting a shitcoin? Are we sure there isn’t some kind of paramilitant dog whistle or something that the article writer missed?
I actually assumed it was because Dark Brandon was popular and getting things done.
Could honestly be both. I dimly remember “dark MAGA” being a thing in 2020 to denote the weird racist accelerationists.
why vote if it’s all rigged anyway?
OK Nostradamus. I’ll file that prediction alongside “Full self drive in 2018” and “Mars landing in 2024”
You know, im starting to think this “Elon Musk” character isn’t such a great guy…

The last election they have a chance at winning before MAGA impodes
trump may be done after this but I don’t think MAGA is going anywhere.

I’m expecting to see MGT and DJT and Boebert and a bunch of others just try to pull each other’s hair out
Can we lock them in a coliseum and toss in a few lions?
the more lions the better

It’ll just rebrand itself the same way it went from Tea Party to MAGA

Trump’s got kids ya know.

they won’t necessarily need to duke it out if Sr unequivocally endorses and campaigns for one.
He’s a Trumpian style candidate
*Some talking head in the future
We will never be rid of this style of ass hat.
Considering the civil war did not end the idea of the confederation you are probably right.
True, but from what I see, no one seems to love the others nearly as much as Trump for some weird reason. Every other evil person they throw up there doesn’t seem to get the same attention, thankfully. I hope it stays that way…
This is kinda a natural result of authoritarian structures going back millennia. It’s a big king of the hill game, because nobody up top is really in it for the movement, they’re in it for themselves.
I would point to the old monarchies of Europe as an excellent example of this all playing out though, with a huge number of individual data points to work with.
Avoiding this whole mess is one of the primary purposes of democratic forms of government.
I think that will change in the absence of Trump as a candidate, especially if he throws his weight behind one of his kids.
Yeah, people have said this after many elections, and it’s never true because there are only two parties, so neither one will ever go away so long as we maintain a two party system.
They’re saying the quiet part out loud again
I think Elon Musk is worried about his Tesla stock. He knows Democrats will pave the way for EV cars, but Republicans will and have already put up roadblocks to EVs. By joining their side, he makes it harder for Republicans to paint EVs as “a democrat thing.” Even Trump is like “I guess I have to support EVs now, because Elon Musk supports me.”
I bet that is a significant reason he has cozied up to the Republican side in recent years.

Or he’s just a fascist money hoarder
¿Porque no los dos?
I mean his EVs are part of his money hoarding empire, so he’s explicitly protecting that business for the goal of hoarding money.
The orange felon, RFK Jr and Musk, quit a collection of misfits, adulterers and greedy liars. Oh wait, RFK Jr must have been off somewhere collecting roadkill.
Oh wait, RFK Jr must have been off somewhere collecting roadkill.
Nah, he was in court arguing why he should be taken off the ballot in red states while also arguing why he should remain on the ballot in blue states. Cause you know, he’s totally not a spoiler candidate.
i legitimately don’t understand why this is happening other than maybe he gets more lobbying power over this guy for less money than a democrat
He thinks if the Republicans win then they will let him do whatever crazy thing he plans on doing without any oversight.
Maybe he’s trying to corner the EV market through the Republicans. If the Democrats make it more attractive for all manufactures to make EVs, Tesla loses
Looking at the Cybertruck, I think his plan is simply to destroy EVs. Same thing as Twitter.
Both companies are/were evaluated way higher than what they are worth and purchased with loans that are completely insecure, but costing very real interest.
It also looks as if Elon is doing a little totally legal “asset stripping” of the goodwill by paying out huge options to himself before the companies eventually go bust. I would not be surprised if the Saudis or other co-investors are footing the interest on the loans in the meantime. It’s a small price to pay to get rid of those companies obstructing their business.
Ew, gross
they must have been impressed by his impeccable performance on the stage with chapelle
He missed an opportunity to present dark maga coins in a blackface.
How is nothing falling on their feet? It’s crazy that they can say shit like this without any consequences.
