Elon isn’t trying to change minds, he’s trying to rile up his MAGATs. It’s only a matter of time before he and Trump start using Twitter and Truth Social to euphemistically calling for the deaths of the judges and other public figures that stand up to them.
If ANY judge ANYWHERE has this power, we can’t buy them all off!

I know he’s full of shit. He knows he’s full of shit. Hell, a decent chunk of the people he’s pandering to knows he’s full of shit. This post-truth world where facts don’t matter is fucking *exhausting*.
Stop breaking the law, asshole!
We need fewer Black people keeping their Xitter accounts active to argue with Elon Musk and more AI-generated Black spambots responding to his tweets by saying “This is America, buddy! You don’t like it? You can go back to Africa!”
See how he likes thousands of those responses clogging up his feed.
Someone didn’t have to take the test to become a naturalized citizen and it shows.
ItS a CoNsTituTiONaL rEpUbLiC!
There’s a lesson here about nationwide injunctions, and judge shopping, but of course.. Musk brings all of his legal works in a single-member judicial district in Texas that isn’t proper and fights attempts to get proper venue. He’s suing Media Matters there literally so he can get ONE JUDGE and only one judge on his case.
Wait, I thought we lived in a Republic? Isn’t what these guys always say?
He went off on this stupid rant about how the American people elected Trump and a Republican Congress, and if they can’t run the country as they see fit, then we don’t like in a democracy, we live in a bureaucracy.
Except Congress hasn’t done shit yet, nor do they look like they’re going to any time soon, nor would most of what Elmo is proposing be able to pass Congress, because once you get legislators that represent actual people involved, they start saying things like wait, gutting that department is going to cost a lot of jobs in my district, I can’t vote for that.
So what Elmo is actually mad about is exactly the fact that we live in a democracy, and our leaders are supposed to be answerable to the people.
“If we can’t rule unchecked there’s no democracy”
This guy needs to buy a dictionary.
When only 40% of the population voted, where felons can be disinfranchised, there’s no compulsory voting, voting has been made very hard for everyone, undermining confidence in the voting system…
you know, all things musk really loves
That’s not in fact the definition of a democracy, it’s the definition of a republic.
They did it to Biden non-stop. That’s how it works.
elon is a private naturalized citizen. The only way he feels like he can bang is because of his private security force. Who are these men protecting him? Where do they live? What communities are they part of? If citizens want to let the wives/girlfriends, parents, children of his security force that they are unhappy, then we need to know who the gang protecting him is? Cops have badges and a social contract with communities. elon thinks he’s untouchable.
Well elon is a South African white male so democracy in his stupid head is different from ours.
This is because no man should have absolute power. For the people by the people.
This FUCKINNNNNNNN guy goddamn I’m so tired of everything about him. I feel like my brain cells die every time we have to suffer the indignity of hearing/reading whatever dumb, hateful thought oozes out of his dumb, hateful mouth. Goddamn.
I still can’t believe this shit is actually happening. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever think what is happening rn would be a reality.
Its like watching a movie with a stupid plot thinking that it’ll never happen irl and yet the reality is 10x worse than that.
Just remember ALL OF THIS is happening because a racist, wealthy twat got pissed that a black man became president.
elon apartheid clyde musk is a parasite…
God I wish all 284k likes on this doublespeak were bots. Even 1k is too many
…says the Nazi who spent $250 million dollars to install his chosen candidate for president.
Looks like he cheated on his citizenship test, just like he cheats at video games.
Democracy is rule by the majority.
Not to be annoying here, but that’s not the definition of democracy.
LEON – THIS IS NOT WHAT I PAID FOR DAMMIT!!! /s
Had he been fucking born and educated here he would have taken junior high civics class and learned how the government works. What a farce.
The people that are going to agree with him failed high school government class. Judges have that power because they can only rule on existing policies that find their way to them. Every branch has offsetting limitations so that no one branch can steamroll the others.
Shut the fuck up Elon, thanks.
Welllll…not exactly.
Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but since when is “checks and balances” the very definition of democracy? Wtf 😂
When the courts stopped Biden’s student loan forgiveness, they didn’t seem to have an issue with that.
I wonder what changed?
Fuck Musk and fuck Trump, but the checks and balances are the definition of ***Our Republic***, not democracy.
Democracy is a government in which the general population has a say in governance, the American Republic put this into practice by creating the system of checks and balances with elected representatives. The ancient Athenian democracy was not structured this way.
Queue the “but we don’t live in Democracy” response.
The man who doesn’t know how the government works is trying to fix the government.
How can you fix something you can barely understand?
X links are okay now?
If they guy voted in can’t do anything without it being blocked, that’s not democracy it’s bureaucracy.
Watching from Europe. America please do something about this villain
That’s literally not the definition of a democracy.
But it doesn’t matter because TrUmP BaD mAn!
