Was it? Were they actually votes, or were they "votes". Those fuckers had too much access to the whole system to not have fucked around with it. I am not convinced you had a fair and free election in any sense of the word. Easy for me to say as a Canadian, but it was all pretty suspect to me. He won every single swing state? Really...
What you are suggesting would have required a massively coordinated effort across all 50 states and NOBODY has talked about that.
Contrast that with how one tiff with musk has republicans outright calling him a child raper.
Do I think there was interference? Yes. It is called twitter and social media in general. But this desperate belief that there was some massive conspiracy to undermine every machine and NOBODY is talking about it is right up there with "9-11 was staged".
And when the votes are actually broken down by demographics? Yeah... they line up. Mostly men and religious people.
Then why did musk have access to the voting machines? I never said every machine either. Not to mention the voting access restrictions and what not, this goes way beyond bots on social media, and no one wants to talk about it because the implications are so vast and nefarious people turn a blind eye to it because they don't want to upset the status quo.
I am not aware of musk having access to voting machines en masse during the Biden administration but, sure, let's roll with that because it does not matter.
Do you honestly think musk, on the same k-hole where he called trump a pedophile rapist, wouldn't have bragged about having stolen the election for him? And, we are to believe that elon fucking musk single handedly hacked the entire country while not playing Path of Exile? Or are you now assuming the twenty employees at spacex are so immensely loyal to him that NONE OF THEM would have narced for a book deal?
And yes. Voter suppression is a thing and it always will be so long as we have a system fundamentally built around gerrymandering and the electoral college. But demographics analyses show that even black men have increasingly skewed republican (nowhere near as much as other demographics but still).
If this were a super close election that had come down to a single battleground state? Sure. But it wasn't. It was a fucking landslide. So unless we are assuming that musk and big balls are super 1337 hackers who managed to not only hack every single election in America (again, under the Biden administration) AND never once said a peep about it when they blab about EVERYTHING else... Oh, and they also hacked all the polling and demographic analysis data to make it look like they didn't hack anything.
He did brag about getting him elected, and do you think that even a K holing billionaire would incriminate himself by saying he did a crime for that bastard? You can go on blissfully unaware your elections are kompromised but I ain't going to turn a blind eye to the truth.
