Trump was literally shot in the head and then went on to secure the biggest republican victory in a generation,

At 312 EC and 49.9% of the popular vote, that's a fairly low bar to get over. For context, Bush Sr. got 426 EC and 53.4% of the popular vote in 1988.

shifting almost literally the entire country to the right.


I think Trump was more of a beneficiary than a driver of that.

Also, Elon bought twitter and turned it into X over 2 years ago. That doesn't make him make him person of the year in 2024.


And he's owned SpaceX since 2001. Owning either of them isn't the important bit; it's what he did with them in 2024.

If you’re using that logic then give it to Kamala since she was far more responsible for Trump getting re-elected than Musk

By allowing people to speak freely, he bought the election for the man who took a bullet, survived two assassination attempts, defeated every act of lawfare against him, worked at McDonalds, drove a garbage truck, and wiped the floor with a cackling communist.

9/10 melt. Sorry you supported Cackles and Tampon.

If you haven't seen how his x platform has censored news articles yet then you go ahead and keep that head in the sand.

Ah yes, a singular social media platform turned the election. Lemme guess you comforted yourself with the "If only people with a college degree were allowed to vote."

MORE CENSORSHIP!

Free speech, bad.
Censorship, good.

You still haven't figured out why Cackles and Tampon and the rest of the democrat party got their asses kicked.

They'll probably name Rogan and claim he's the real reason Trump won.
