"A group of African oligarchs is working to seize power in the United States by supporting a candidate who is old, compromised, and easily influenced. "
FWIW, Elmo denied that he'd ever pledged any $45 million a month, and there's no particular evidence that he's contributed anything like that, to the best of my knowledge.
@mcfate FWIW indeed - I wouldn't believe anything he says
That someone in his position is so incredibly needy of people's approval is totally amazing.

Elon Musk has said he plans to commit around $45 million a month to a new super political-action committee backing former President Donald Trumpβs presidential run, according to people familiar with the matter.
@mcfate Ya he didn't like the publicity so he took the coward's path of denying it. Same just happened here in Canada with a major polling firm (Angus Reid) whose owner has shown himself to be very MapleMaga and reposting Russian propaganda regarding PM Trudeau - when called on it by thousands, pointing out how it was utter BS, and especially noting the damage he had done to the polling company, he tried to weasel out of it.
Modern day conservatives are (IMNSHO) cowards.
Interesting side-note: Elmo's quoted as saying he wouldn't call himself MAGA here.
Suddenly, he not just MAGA, he's _DARK_ MAGA! _MEGA_ MAGA!
He'll be promising to sell people "laser eyes" pretty soon, I suppose.
