If Donald Trump’s administration really wants to find evidence of foreign interference in Georgia’s elections, then they need look no further than the president’s old friend Elon Musk and his shady super PAC.

Members of the Georgia State Elections Board voted Wednesday to issue a formal letter of reprimand to Musk’s America PAC over the billionaire technocrat’s illegal scheme to get Trump elected. Georgia, a key battleground state in 2024, was the target of aggressive campaigning by Trump’s team.

I threw that in there because he apparently said that's what he's got at one point (I couldn't remember which). Plus, my family throws that out there anytime they're reminded that I don't like him, "because that's just how those people are."

I know autistic people aren't Nazis. Musk is a Nazi, whether or not he is autistic has no bearing on the rest of how I feel about him. I hate him, he fucking sucks.

I'm autistic, and my father tried to use that excuse for him at least once. He's just an asshole, and even more of one for trying to use autism as an excuse.

I forgot he used that as a bullshit "explanation".

They keep wanting me to read his biography. I'm just like "maybe," anytime they bring it up.
