    Elon Musk Has Said He Is Committing Around $45 Million a Month to a New Pro-Trump Super PAC (msn.com)

    Elon Musk has said he plans to commit around $45 million a month to a new super political action committee backing former President Donald Trump’s presidential run, according to people familiar with the matter.

    Although the majority of Trump's voters are white working class his billionaire contributors are his real constituents.

    Exactly. It’s the Putin model. I anticipate musk believes what he’s saying, but it also could help to get favorable gov rulings for Tesla, SpaceX, or X. Musk could easily see payback many times what he’s contributed.

    When Ben Carson was the big favorite I told you. When Trump switched to the big loser pick of Tim Scott I told you. After Barnes touted Vance to Donald Trump Jr and thl others for JD Vance and Ben Carson I told you Barnes was touting JD Vance st 6:1 and Ben Carson at 16:1
    When Ben Carson was essentially a done deal with a monster payout I told you. Trump switched to Tim Scott and I told you. Barnes touted JD Vance and Trump.ultimately.went with him. Carson was still in play though and I posted the odds on him (16:1) and Vance (6:1) before the debate and told you those were Barnes' picks. If you had bought Ben Carson early on you could have sold him for a good profit BTW.

    Your blinders are much stronger than most. He praised Trump for the invitation and accused the Chamber of Commerce of waging war on the American worker. He was the first Teamster in the 121-year history to address the RNC. His speech was about protecting the American worker against corporate greed.

    Exactly. “Thanks for inviting me to talk Democratic talking points”. Tied to zero Republican policies. He was selling the Bible at a strip club.

    A union boss taking the RNC stage to admonish Republicans who don’t support unions and to talk about corporate greed.

    If Bernie Sanders was watching, he probably teared up a bit.

    For sure, but only one party openly campaigns on tax cuts for the rich
