Isn’t Musk asking to restructure the debt from his Twitter purchase because he can’t pay? He claims he’s too poor to pay it all back after buying and rat-fucking Twitter.

But now he’s rich enough to give a criminal charity? What, Musk is asking for another loan to default on?

Aren't there still some 'interesting' boxes stashed in a bathroom at Mar a Lago? Bet Musk knows some eager buyers here and there . . .

at the end of the day, he knows this much:

1. The money he gives will be the "down payment". Trump will ask for more.

2. The money he gives will not go to electing Trump or Republicans down ticket. It will go to his legal bills and to his judgments/bonds and to his attorneys and court fees, etc.

3. The money doesn't guarantee that Trump wins or anyone he wants to win.

4. Not a good look for Musk. Buying the WH. Oh sure, it's fine when it's Putin, but not an American billionaire.
