For a couple weeks I was proud of this dude. Now he’s acting like he’s not 100% trump and not giving him the 45 million a month like he has said

“What’s been reported in the media is simply not true,” Musk said. “I am not donating $45 million a month to Trump.”


What’s your issue? Is he bound by something that was misreported?

Problem is instead of “we misreported this”, the media will say, “elon not in favor of a Trump presidency.”

Doubling back is different from doubling down.

yahoo media made you a good little brainlet NPC with one article. That’s sad

Elon endorsed trump. Elon created a super pac for him. What else do you want?

He never was donating 45 million to Trump. Thi is a blatent lie by the MSM and they've doubled down and continue to try to influence people as you are.

What Musk has done is create "America PAC" and is making donations to that in an effort to help Trump.

He's not doubling down, he's distancing himself from a comment he may not have actually said.

There were a dozen threads on here saying otherwise the day he announced it.

Doubling down would imply he was doubling his support FYI

And here’s how the propaganda is spinning it:

Musk backs out of pledge, doesn’t support “cult of personality”

There are also quotes in there about loving freedom from government intervention, but they skipped all that for the propaganda headline.

I brought this up last night as a simple topic of discussion and asked for discussion and / or clarification. It went about like you would expect here.

How can you double down or up on anything it never existed.

2 X 0 = 0
