Is he implying he manipulated the election? Or does it just sound like it?

[-] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 73 points 1 year ago

For once in my life, I want musk to say more.

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

I want him to say much more. Starting with "No! Not there bees!"

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 7 points 1 year ago

The first question I want him to answer is "Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?"

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

And then send the bees after that?

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

Not implying, admitting. Here's the data.

Why would he openly admit to a crime of such magnitude? He's an idiot, but he's not THAT much of an idiot. He wouldn't incriminate himself.

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 year ago

Incriminate himself? He's far too rich for that to matter.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 19 points 1 year ago

Then And if he did, it wasn't that bad. And if he did, that's not a big deal. And if did, that's not his fault. And if it was, he didn't mean it. And if he did, america deserved it.

[-] LavaPlanet@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

He knows he's too rich to ever be convicted of anything. He just bought a president and a whole country of his own. He's drunk with power and thinks he's invincible.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

He did two nazi salutes at a rally and laughed it off. He is far beyond incriminating himself, he does not give a single fuck.

[-] TassieTosser@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Depends. He may need some more drugs to admit to that.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 4 points 1 year ago

It's not a crime. The Supreme Court said it's legal to just buy elections in citizens united, and that's basically what happened.

And it's not like the Democrats ran an amazing campaign to begin with. If they started out with a competitive primary instead of forcing Biden onto everyone things would've probably been different.

[-] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Who's gonna convict him?

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

yes he is that much of an idiot, plus he's zooted out of his dumbfuck mind, plus he thinks he's invincible.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Trump outright said he had bribed politicians during his 2016 campaign. It doesn't fucking matter.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
