That's why he needs to help with government efficiency.

Elon is the most important person of my lifetime and I’m not sure it’s even close.

Damn, he could have let me know, so I could’ve gone to bed sooner!

I wonder if word got out about it and that’s why the Dems started canceling parties a couple hours early.

Anyone with even half a political brain knew Trump was going to win going into Election Day

The media knew, they just couldn't bring themselves to announce it so they talked around it. John King was relatively straight on his reporting but Jake Tapper kept waiting for enough of fake ballots to drop.

He did. He tweeted “Game. Set. Match.” around that same time.

Hell, even the White House sent the top dog secret service detail to him around 11:00pm. I remember that being posted somewhere.

They knew pretty early on.

The old Wolf Blitzer move. Remember him election night 2016? He had ole John punching holes in that touch screen looking for Hillary votes. John finally told him tersely, they're not there.

It's amazing that someone like elon could have everything taken away from him and he'd spend 72 hours making a simple app that allows him to be a multi millionaire all over again by beating other traders on Kalshi

You could see it in their faces after the argument about Georgia and when it was called. Once the numbers weren’t there in Gwinnett and Fulton, their moods changed on a dime. They kept playing up that Gwinnett drop, people here were freaking out about it, it came and went with a little squeak sound effect, and they had nothing left in Georgia. If Georgia wasn’t there, neither was PA and the rest of her must-wins. It all ended right then and there for them.

Elon has mastered time travel. It’s that simple.

Yeah, King got pissed around 2ish and said, "my network won't call it, but I will".

I'm sure he was thinking, what are they going to do , fire me? We're out of jobs anyway with the new ownership.
