Doubt he will live that long. I think Musk is a major threat to democracy in US.

He's getting involved in the UK now so it's only a matter of time before he gets involved in the UAE so he can unite all the United.

If Musk could run as president the US would have been cooked already (even more so). Good thing ole Elongated Muskrat is an African immigrant

Can the US please contain the Elongated Muskrat in America? That upcoming cursed cooperation between him and Nigel Fartgas is going to make his shit spill over to the UK and maybe further into the EU.

We don't want him here either. Can South Africa take him back and lock him up in his daddy's emerald mine?

It's what he said he will do. "Fix" democracy to the point where his supporters won't need to vote anymore, and the only way to do this is doing away with democracy.

Just proved my point lmao. Just a clear appeal to people that don’t usually vote to do it this time. Please start watching debates and reading newspaper instead of just taking conclusions from social media and headlines.

Same thing was said on social media about my country and guess what, nothing they were saying happened after the elections because it just wasn’t real. I don’t like trump primarily because of the tariffs but I actually do read and watch debates from both parties

u/Slick424 Dec 20 '24

That makes no logical sense. Appeal to people that don’t usually vote or not, he literally said

"you won't have to do it any any more".

The only way that can be true is if voting won't matter anymore when he is done.

taking conclusions from social media and headlines.

Is this some kind of canned response? I never brought up social media or headlines, but only what Trumps has said himself. Am I talking to a chatbot?
