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.

Its very simple supply and demand.

That's what makes it sound so plausible and how the Big Lie has managed to get such traction, but it's not simple at all and just doesn't play out that way.

This is a good example of me probably simping according to you: [removed]

You don’t have to like the companies because of who runs it, that’s fine.

Ok those last two remarks make me think you're not the useful idiot I thought you were, but actually a full-on SEO stock pumping bot.

Do i get a medal or award for being called a bot? I think this is the first time?

Certainly if you're not a bot, you should use it as a cue for a bit of introspection that your posting habits seem to follow the exact patterns of an astroturfing bot. Not really something to be proud of.

Or maybe all those posts claiming Musk was the cause of all those Ukrainian deaths because he didn't block Russia sooner, are the bots?
