Musk ready to "back" Republicans in Midterms. And he's SOOOO GOOD with ELECTION SYSTEM COMPUTERS! Just ask Trump!

Musk is expected to back the GOP in next year's midterms with a financial package that could give the Republican Party a "huge boost."

Insiders speaking to Axios claim the Tesla CEO could offer his support to Donald Trump and the Republican Party at the 2026 election, despite previously saying he would create a third party. Musk had enjoyed a close relationship with the Trump administration at the start of this year, though it soon soured. The president and Musk were spotted dining together alongside Cristiano Ronaldo recently, and it appears their relationship has been mended, Axios reported.

It appears the dinner did wonders for how Musk feels about the GOP and Trump, with insiders suggesting the money donated to the party's election efforts could be a massive aid.

Axios reported, "The tech billionaire recently cut big checks to help Republicans win congressional races next year and indicated he'd give more throughout the 2026 cycle." Musk had invested big in Trump's re-election campaign in 2024, throwing $291 million at the ultimately successful re-election effort.''

no amount of money will save them. Effing with the voting system, i.e. AI, etc. may, that's why the Democrats need to secure hopefully a method to combat it.

We've been talking about this for MONTHS, and I know DU has this dialed in, but OUTSIDE OF DU, I do not believe the public has FULLY GRASPED the concept of TENS OF MILLIONS of Americans finding out that their monthly healthcare premiums have DOUBLED or TRIPLED.

I really don't know if America's gone NUMB, or if America stopped CARING, or if America thinks "Yeah, but that won't happen to ME."

Maybe all of the above, but it's four days away.

I'm certainly not saying this is evidence of anything, just repeating what's been said/alleged.

OR NOT.

This kind of non-sense should not be legal. Tying money to Democracy is vile. Hell, tying money to almost anything is.

Where was your GOP rep/ senator when Musk and Doge ran roughshod over SSI, our government, stole private buildings from people, ruined the economy even further? Did they stand idly by doing nothing, no town halls to hear you?
NO MORE PUPPETS OF OLIGARCHS IN CONGRESS!
