Summary
Donald Trump’s allies are worried that Elon Musk’s supposed canvassing efforts could cost them the election.
Elon Musk’s America PAC is under fire for allegedly faking canvassing data and mistreating workers on Donald Trump’s campaign. Roughly a quarter of reported door-knocks in Arizona and Nevada were flagged as “unusual,” suggesting location spoofing. Canvassers also report poor conditions, including working through a hurricane and being transported in a U-Haul instead of promised rentals. Frustrated Republican operatives are urging Trump to abandon Musk’s PAC due to its operational failures.
It always cracks me up when people say private companies can do the job better with less regulation. Most businesses fail and the news is constantly full of stories about fraud.
And more often than not, these companies rely on handouts from the government anyway.
Especially if they are rich enough to buy the necessary politicians. Like Phoney Stark is.
Just gotta work in a big enough company to realize that it’s no more efficient than the public sector. Compared to a business with 50 employees and a single boss? Sure, private sector is much more agile. Public services in the US have over 20 millions employees with about 3 millions for the federal government, what company has that many so we can compare apples to apples? Hint: None, Walmart is the biggest at 2 million employees.
Elon Musk forgot the formula for success he used in all his other businesses:
-
Buy a bussiness made by smart people
-
Pour money into it
-
Don’t fuck it up too much
And the Trump formula:
-
Get someone gullible supporting you
-
Use him up
-
Blame him for everything and throw him under the bus
Hes been high on his own supply for too long. He thinks everything he touches will succeed just because.
Point 2 was him buying the company. Now we’re on step 2.5: cost savings to make it profitable. Unfortunately, Shitter will never be profitable now that they’ve fucked up #3 and destroyed the brand and are working on turning shitter into a Nazi bar.
Eh. I’m honestly pretty convinced at this point that the ultimate intent was never really to make money with Twitter.
Sure, he would have liked to recoup his costs. But at the end of the day, eel on musk paid 40something billion dollars to buy one of the most prolific social media companies in the history of social media. It’s just a big megaphone with speakers in everyone’s smartphones. It’s a propaganda device. He is openly using it to try to swing public opinion towards Trump (amongst various other things), and has been since about 6 months after he bought it and “cleaned house”. He’s using it to try to directly affect the result of the election. That’s it. That’s his plan. And he thinks he’ll become cemented into Trump’s inner circle if he pulls it off.
Point 1 was him buying the company though. He has not poured any money into it, as you say he has done quite the reverse
The guy who blew vast sums of campaign money on fake canvassing (and vast sums of his own money on Twitter) is who Trump plans to put in charge of government waste. Let that sink in.
I love when republicans think they are the smartest people on Earth as they stab themselves in the face. They literally deserve what they do to themselves.
And I wish the GOPers would do a lot more of the “Stabbing themselves in the face” thing. It would keep them from bothering us.
I’ve been waiting for the moment these two egos clash with each other and the ultimate breakup plays out in front of everyone.
I just hope it’s enough to be the final nail in the Trump campaign’s coffin, if it hasn’t already imploded enough on its own.
