    Uh-oh

    Likely finally realized it would all end up in Trump's pockets.

    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

          This is actually old news... someone made that up and Musk said it wasn't true.

          Musk just did post this which I thought was pretty good.

            So he didn't say Trump is a personality cult?

                Sounds like he made an emotional commitment after Trump "took a bullet for us all," and committed the $45 million per month. Then has had second thoughts.

                Musk is an oddball and may recommit in the future, or totally dump Trump.

                Elon Musk: I’m not donating $45M a month to Trump

                (NewsNation) — Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says he’s not donating $45 million of his own money a month to bolster Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

                The Wall Street Journal reported July 15 that the tech billionaire, the world’s richest person, would commit $45 million per month to a political action committee dedicated to fighting for the Republican former president’s election win in November.

                However, on Monday, Musk denied this, telling conservative philosopher Jordan Peterson in an interview on X, which Musk owns, that “what’s been reported in the media is simply not true.”

                That said, Musk still supports Trump, as Musk told Peterson that the former president showed “great courage” in surviving an attempted assassination. The attack led to Musk endorsing Trump for November’s election, a move the CEO says is not based on Trump’s “cult of personality” but instead on a set of shared values.

                Both Musk and his chosen candidate have reasons for money to be unhappily on their minds.

                Musk’s Tesla recently announced that its second-quarter profits declined 45% from this time last year. Meanwhile, Trump’s Democratic electoral opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, has raised over $100 million in campaign funds in the first two days of her presidential campaign following President Joe Biden’s exit from the race.

                  Musk clarified that he is not donating $45 million to Trump. In fact, he can't do that because there are limits on donations from individuals. He is creating a PAC which he may donation up to $45 million/month to. His PAC will support candidates who favor things like personal freedom and actual democracy.

                      Musk doesn't favor democracy. Not particularly.

                          Just some old threats of civil war from Republicans:


                          AN ELECTED GOP politician from Ohio is warning that if Donald Trump doesn’t win the 2024 election it will mean “Civil War.”

                          State Sen. George Lang was one of the warm-up speakers Monday at a Trump campaign rally Monday, where vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance spoke solo for the 2024 GOP ticket for the first time. The rally was held in the suburb of Middletown, Ohio, where Vance grew up — just days after a Republican National Convention at which Trump had tried to stage a show of national unity.

                          Lang — in sharp contrast — used his time at the TRUMP branded podium to warn of violence that could tear America apart. Lang, who represents nearby Hamilton, Ohio, took the stage shouting Trump’s post-shooting battlecry, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” And Lang insisted that America is in a “fight for the soul of our nation” and for “our kids and our grandkids.”

                          He then uncorked his views on looming partisan violence. “I believe wholeheartedly that Donald Trump and Butler County’s J.D. Vance are the last chance to save our country, politically,” Lang said. “I’m afraid that if we lose this one, it’s gonna take a civil war to save this country.”

                          Lang quickly emphasized that a militarized MAGA movement would win such a war.

                          “It will be saved,” he said.

                          Lang didn’t stop there, elaborating that “if we come down to a civil war I’m glad we have people like … the Bikers for Trump on our side,” pointing to a group of MAGA motorcycle enthusiasts in the audience. Lang then inveighed against liberals he claimed are “chipping away” at our rights, insisting of the American republic, that 2024 is the “last stand to save it!”
