Musk has a twitter poll that's trending asking who do you trust more politicians or billionaires

of coarse, its just another tool that fascists use to undermine government. That rich brat is dangerous, I tagged the thread as offensive.

He's another billionaire that seeks daily affirmation. What kind of a little half man begs for attention as much as he does?

Both groups have something they would sell their souls for...there are specific people of both sorts who are trustworthy, but that takes discernment.

don't trust your leaders, you are going to lose elections...we are one election away from losing our Republic. We don't know all politicians, but we know Elon Musk is a self-centered asshole and not to be trusted.

And it varies who I trust in office...one of my senators is Sherrod Brown, the other Rob Portman. One I trust to do the right thing one I "trust" to do what he's told by Mitch.

I can only hope people will catch on in time.

And no one trusts greedy takers who don't contribute to the common good...no matter what their job title is.

He Uses His Money to Change the Constitution, and he will. If Muskrat fails at that, he will just replace Putin as Trump's brain and mouth. Trump will be unstoppable with all that Muskrat Money backing him up. God help us in the future.
