Unless it's some kind of Machiavellian scheme to
get rid of Musk so he can really be the president.
Irish_Dem
(66,692 posts)His filter could be damaged.
I also think he looks medicated sometimes on minor tranquilizers which could also loosen his tongue.
Or as you say he is setting up Musk in some way.
Good points!

They have carte blanche to do anything they want to and the fawning media will praise them and most people won't fucking care.

(30,722 posts)Trump 3,543,308 Harris 3,423,042
120,266 votes different out of a total vote of 6,966.350 votes or 1.7 percent.
Hardly a landslide. oddly enough, just the right amount to not have a recount but sufficiently small that a good hacker ( really good hacker ) could fake out and never be caught, i.e. small enough to go unchallenged by things like exit polls.
If I was to do the hack... I'm pretty sure this is the exact sort of vote totals I would aim for.
but not a landslide by any means.

(13,276 posts)Trump will rub people's noses in the fact he rigged the fucking election, and there's nothing anyone can do about it now. He's untouchable.

(55,264 posts)Musk's money was used to saturate the swing states with lies. It worked.
sop
(13,276 posts)But gloating about that won't be enough for Trump. No, he'll start dropping hints the vote count was somehow rigged by his tech bro friends who "know a lot about computers." The hints will turn into open admissions. In a few months he'll be bragging that "no other president in the history of elections" has ever stolen an election as effectively as he did. Believe me!

Other than being old.. he has no reason to fear anything.

(2,002 posts)might have been on to something.
Some of us had heard about Musk being involved in tabulations.
There was gerry-mandering, and voter suppression, and a variety of the usual tactics. And some unusual tactics - remember the bomb threats at certain precincts. But I believe the cincher for the election result was determined by the tabulations.
The grifter said he didn't need any more votes.
I posited that the grifter made sure he "got" the popular vote (this time) to soothe his deranged and fragile ego.
Now what!?
He confesses to rigging the election, and we hand the country over anyway?
He was not "President" when he engaged in this confessed rigging and election interference, hence no immunity.
Why can't he and Musk be arrested? Now!

(3,759 posts)in reality TSF was saying that PA was rigged over and over again so there was no reason to not recount the state. They let it slid and Harris went silent! Weve seen this before.

ColinC
(11,098 posts)The right-wing are masters of the bait and switch narrative scam.
They act like bigots and criminals (bait) and upon us taking it, they can seemingly credibly switch the narrative to: "look how obsessed they are over (election conspiracy theories, making your kids transgender, wokeism, blah blah blah)!" And it works every time because they have the media resources and advertising juggernauts to blast the nonsense everywhere with some level of credibility (based on the left constantly taking the bait).
This is all so that we don't talk about real issues like income inequality, healthcare, education, and labor rights.

(19 posts)Musk knows less about computers than half the people on this board. His degrees are in economics and a bachelor of Arts (yes, Arts) in physics--the man is a science "enthusiast", not a scientist and certainly no engineer.

But we have no one in power brave enough to do what's right, do we? Only unpatriotic peons... powerless and good for nothing but cannon fodder.
