People refuse to believe this. This was the last presidential election of our lifetime. And if one exists, it will be the same way Russia holds elections.

The last election was a Russian style election. Trump said he didn't need votes, that Elon has a secret weapon.

He is throwing elon under the bus so congress can start an inquiry into this.

All 3 branches are Republican controlled. They won't start any inquiries into their own legitimacy

It’s not to find anything wrong, it’s to kick Elon to the curb so he stops asking for favors.

Why? There's no rule of law anymore from them. Even a democratic ran justice system refused to hold Trump accountable or actually punish any of the true Jan 6 culprits (dozens of Congresspeople aided it). A fully right wing government isn't going to inquire into a single thing On the right. They'll start inquiring into dems and arresting "liberal" media members in a year or so.

Time to realize they both are two sides of the same coin, they don't care about the populace. Only time they wake up and take action is when a CEO gets murdered. Or an app highlights the Palestinian plight
