Now Musk Is Boosting Claims the Wisconsin Election Was ‘Stolen’
www.thedailybeast.com
After initially downplaying the vote’s importance, the world’s richest man was quick to promote accusations of electoral fraud.

Summary

Elon Musk, after spending $21 million backing conservative Brad Schimel in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, amplified election fraud claims following Schimel’s loss to liberal judge Susan Crawford.

Musk boosted a post by Alex Jones featuring Roger Stone, who alleged mail-in vote fraud. Schimel rejected the claims, urging supporters to accept the results.

Musk pivoted to highlighting a voter ID ballot measure, though Wisconsin already requires ID. Critics see his reaction as echoing Trump-era denialism.

Despite GOP pressure, Schimel’s concession stood out for its rare break from MAGA conspiracy rhetoric.

    how profoundly this man’s life has messed him up, and how many complex factors are at work in his psyche.

    Why should we give a single fuck? This guy lies, cheat and sayd himself he thinks empathy is a weakness. Why should have any towards him. He calls everyone he disagree losers, called my prime minister “girl” and openly makes nazi salutes, and you want us to play the “Tell me about chilhood Elon” card? He’s a little narcissist privilege bitch who’s been exploiting people all his life, and I will be happy to take a piss on his grave. And I have no doubt the size of his dick (it’s obviously tiny) is one of the reasons he want’s to make the world suffer.

      It’s not that I feel any particular sympathy for Elon Musk. But I’m sure there are lots of people living with small dicks who don’t experience any need to become crazy Nazis, and lots of crazy Nazis with sizeable penises. I just feel this whole “a man needs a big dick to be secure, and any insecure man has a small dick” thing is a somewhat offensive outlook.

        The reason to make fun of his dick size is because that’s one of the only way that we can get to him. This guys controls half of the planet, the only thing we have is to make fun of him on social networks. You can call him a racist pos, transphobe, hateful, he actually takes prides into this. But call him a small dick and you just know he will spent the night convincing himself he as the biggest dick on the planet. Just like Donald the pedo and crowd size.

        I’m sure a lot a men with small dicks are perfectly happy and secure about themselves, because they don’t live in a superficial privilege bubble, just like lots of men rock their grey hairs and balding. But you got to admit Musk screams insecurity so it’s totally fine to assume the size of dick is something he thinks about all the time.
