seems american democracy does have a price

So that's how much they cost.

And all that because he was paranoid democrats would lock him up

Don't buy a Tesla, get off Twitter...easy first steps...

Elon Musk is a cunt

Protect your democracy! 50 protests 50 states 1 day 02/05/2025 Follow: @50501movement.bsky.social !!!

The presidency was bought obviously 😒

Check out gregpalast.com

So the South African bought the United States of America for 290 million. The 2x impeached criminal traitor sold US out for cheap...

And that is straight bullshit. It should be illegal. Again!!!

Elon wants to have direct access to the US Treasury. That won’t end well!

America will be in turmoil in coming days.

Bloated pasty-faced wanker…

Is that legal, and is it moral?

And now he is working on his ROI.

If that is not cheating on the electoral system and a clear quid pro quo , I don’t how to name it

Please watch this. It's going to make everything clearer... youtu.be/5RpPTRcz1no?...

He bought an election

Trump is a rapist. Musk is a Nazi.

"Elon Musk bought the election via the massive bribery loopholes Citizen United created. Now he is staging a coup by personally taking over the Treasury department and locking out federal employees". God, call it like it is, stop this pussyfooting around. How would you write off this was abroad?

And what exactly are you doing with this information? We all know. It's the MAGA who do not know, care or even worse, they like it. Time to start drowning WH in mud and show the country what is going on. All, not only anti-trumpers.

That should be illegal. There should be limits on donations. #commonsense #saywhat

Many thanks to the Republican Supreme Court.🙄 You will be getting YOUR layoff notices in the next few months.

290 is unserious, oligarchs are great for peace prosperity and rule of law

And now he will start buying senators and reps

Musk bought the White House. He support extremism in Germany. Trump likes dictator around the world and he’s transforming US allies into enemies. That’s how it starts America. Don’t say you didn’t see it coming.

And prior to that, Republicans ended the fairness doctrine which opened the door for right-wing radio. That was the cover they needed for things like Citizens United. Get the people angry so they're distracted.

This is why Trump says he didn’t read project 2025. So he can claim he didn’t coordinate with them even though most of his policies align.

This is the scariest thing of all.

This is just before giving millions to the German neonazi party and giving nazi salutes. So now we have an unelected nazi who's apparently been given access to US federal network infrastructure as of yesterday. Super cool. Maybe report on that, and don't use mush like "troubling" in your headline.

Elon must be impeached after his nazi salute and babling nonsense in nazi lover German party afd's meeting! He also must never return to politics again after that as we don't want monstrous, hate speecher, xenophobic, polarizer, conflict mongerer, fascism lovers&nazi lovers in anywhere in politics!

again CNN missing the whole fucking article point and not just the lede

Money... Money.. Power....

Isn't allowing Elon's computer people to take over our payout system not a breech of national security?... This is troubling.

Imagine what that money could do for people in Africa who don't have access to fresh water. Or need food/ power. What a waste.

And in exchange this is what he bought www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

Not to mention all the other millions that were pouring in from techbros, other robber barons, and the megawealthy who all want to be part of the oligarchy. The rest of us will all live as serfs under the New Feudalism.

Thanks so much, John Roberts. He couldn’t have done it without you.

You mean it's a bribe..

USA is so lucky their people are so stupid. This is open corruption and nobody cares.

Citizens United did play a terrible trick upon our election politics but the causality of funding an election ought not to constitute an entrée into our government with immense, unchecked powers—that’s criminal

Dems asleep at the wheel CU is the result of aggressive GOP politicking and paradoxically, has opened the door to the horror show we witness today by codifying CU into the Constitution, GOP has made it very difficult to reverse it Biden had the power to dissolve SCotUS and usher in fresh start

🤮

This should never be allowed to occur in any democracy.

That’s the price of democracy, huh?

Let's not forget the $44 Billion he spent on Twitter. He is playing the long game while we sit back and watch. 🤬

Swasticar

You know what’s frustrating? It wouldn’t have mattered if the GOP spent twice that for me to ever get on board with their agenda. But there are those of us who can be spooked into the GOP camp by slick ads promoting trumped up things to fear. And apparently there’s lots of them.

The incel king

@cnn.com, the real headline should read - “Musk buys Federal Government for a mere $290M.” Quit covering for them as if this stuff is normal.

Why is the MEDIA allowing all of this to continue? The PILOTS WERE WHITE MEN. Say it OUT LOUD and shut down that ORANGE BASTARDS, DEI, BS.... FOR FKS SAKE 🙄

Just imagine if Kamala had one person spend $290M on the campaign… these mutha lovers would have been all over this like white on rice!!! But no the entitled rich white boy gets a pass and we suffer in the end thank you @cnn.com calling this out… bunch of bullshit!!

He didn't buy it to make money. He bought it as a propaganda machine.

He's no Patton.

This is truly awful. We need publicly funded elections like Japan has in the US. Lobbying of the legislature also needs to be outlawed too.

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Não existe almoço de graça !!!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

So he thinks he owns everything because he gave the orange goon money - WE’RE NOT FOR SALE!

Deport the illegal

So he bought himself a President is what you are saying.

Ya. Great fucking model of democracy there, USA. Wish you had thought it through a little more before exporting it all over the planet. It’s broken!!! Doesn’t live up to abuse. It’s like selling a piece of software with backdoors and obvious holes in it. Fucking fix it!! Stop being cowards.

You forgot to mention the $44 billion Musk spent to create a Trump and MAGA propaganda outlet.

ICE needs to look at him!

If you're waiting to do something until Musk announces the US Capitol was burned to the ground by Bidenists and DEI agents and as a result, I've convinced the President to issue the Capitol Fire Decree, you're too late.

He bought the election. That is the raw truth.

shouldnt be allowed. Get money out of politics

And you helped

That's how it works sadly. And ppl easily fall for it. So much for democracy

$290 million to get his hands on $6 trillion is a pretty good ROI, I guess.

@cnn.com so he bought himself a government and country. Funny, though, don't recall any reporting done on this. Oh wait, you sane-washed everything as though you wanted this to happen.

1. The dollar values blow 2000s-era numbers out of the water. 2. Musk broke the law and ethics. It is a federal law to not pay people to vote. He paid people in Pennsylvania to promise vote and to vote a certain way. 3. Given #2, why bother doing filings? He and Trump are jail-proof.

$290 million that could have fed so many hungry children here in the USA alone….

youtu.be/3OVVfZiOn0s?... #Watch & Be Lifted! #TheMessedUpIndividual #FromMessedUpFamily #MessingUpTheChurch #MessedUpTheNeighbourhood,City,County,and State #NowMessingUpTheCountryandTheWorld

Well...there's the result of the Citizens United/Supreme Court decision about unlimited campaign money being protected free speech! 🙄

Bought himself a country!!

Cheap at the price. The U$A sold to a South African

So, an unelected, probably undocumented immigrant, who owns things, spent exorbitantly on the election, started locking out treasury officials from the official government payment systems AND things that I buy just increased between 10 and 25 percent… when do we get to the making America great part?

Should be f’ing illegal!

This cannot be allowed to continue

This is totally absurd that the US don't cap the amount for elections ... this is leading to situations where oligarchs are buying power ... the full electoral system makes no sense anymore and a total review of the constitution should be done.

It should be made illegal to buy an election.

FUCKIN MARICON Y CARA DE CULO ES ELONA MUSK

And the courts declared spending limits unconstitutional.

#Trump used #Musk to buy votes. It was that simple.

What you are saying is he bought America. Pretty cheap too at only 290 million

He bought the US government wholesale

PLUS an equal amount of in-kind contributions of boosting Trump and suppressing dissent on X.

Is it 'a total', or is it 'more than'? I think we should be told. 😏

Just goin' shopping in the biggest oligarchy in the world ✌️

Plus all the BS on Xitter.

Terrible

Don't forget the $44billion to buy twitter propaganda machine.

Corruption is on plain site with the neofascist in charge and a corrupted christofascist congress. No more check and balance anymore. Terrible!

So now Elon can blow up some more shitty rockets.

If he’s paying to $290 million for an election they he can pay $290 million in taxes.

Don’t you just love how power can be bought if you have enough money. Oligars rules.

Get money out of politics. Federally funded campaigns. It will reduce graft and make elections more democratic.

That is not cool; Government should be for the people, not billionaires

@CNN reports this story after the fact, like it’s a total surprise to the network. What garbage.

He suppressed voters and violated all sorts of election laws. Why is he not being charged?

And there’s no legal recourse?

Disgusting! There should be a cap on donations. What else did he do to ensure Donnie won??

He bought the whole government and the Supreme Court is responsible for making that possible.

So Trump didn't win the election, he bought it?

Grotesque!

I wish he had spent those funds on the cyber truck development

End Citizens United

Gross.

And he wasn’t born here. But that’s fine with the melted circus peanut .

Apparently being super rich gives you permission to just walk into a federal building and take information about American citizens off of government servers; and if anybody tries to stop you, you can have them escorted out of the building. Who knew?

This should never have been allowed to happen! There should be a cap on how much can be donated. What he did should be illegal. I fear we’ll never see another Democrat in office while these two are walking the earth.

Now the PayPal mafia Cabal are deep inside the systems of government, no background checks, no oversight, free to copy any and all data from anything .Gov The biggest data heist in history. NSA and FBI just nod and smile.

Have we found out who ties this moron’s shoelaces yet?

Maniac. He's a maniac. Just as Trump...
