No, Putin has a controlling interest in the stock (and is unlikely to sell enough to lose that controlling percentage), but he did sell Elon a significant interest in Trump.

It's a time share

If Harris is elected, she'll govern using traditional norms and values

You're right, but it probably also means she'll keep FTC chair Lina Khan as chair of the FTC. As chair she's been aggressive, in a good way. Musk and the FTC haven't gotten along much over the past few years and I expect with more time the FTC with Khan in charge will cause problems for Musk, who continues to violate obvious laws and regulations.

So tails probably isn't just doesn't lose, it's probably a real loss.

I upvoted because you're probably right but I hate both you and myself for it.

My very conservative parent and step are disgusted with djt and one has said they're voting Harris, the other hasn't expressed a candidate. Their good friend down the street actively encouraged me to not trust the lawyer.

Musk is a liar. He said he wasn't going to donate to Trump in July when news leaked about his 45mil/month promise, but he was already donating, and is still donating now.

This week, there was more proof that Musk has put his money where his mouth has been. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Musk poured tens of millions of dollars into Republican campaigns and conservative groups even before he publicly endorsed Donald Trump in July. Conservatives helped conceal Musk’s contributions through so-called social welfare or “dark money” groups that do not have to disclose their donors and can raise unlimited funds. (Musk did not respond to the Journal’s request for comment.)

One piece of reporting stood out. The newspaper found that the tech billionaire donated more than $50 million in 2022 for campaign advertisements by Citizens for Sanity, a group connected to former Trump aide Stephen Miller and his non-profit America First Legal, which bills itself as “the long-awaited answer to the ACLU.” 

Musk has also directly aligned himself with Trump, founding a super PAC called America PAC to get 800,000 people to vote for the former president in key battleground states. According to the Guardian, Trump’s ground operation in swing states are now mostly outsourced to America PAC, and Business Insider said that Musk is now shelling out millions to Republicans in 15 competitive House races. Yesterday, Politico reported that America PAC was teaming up with Turning Point Action, the political advocacy division of Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, to fund hundreds of “ballot chasers” in Wisconsin. 

Hes also dumped at least 300k in to general GOP races directly:

The National Republican Congressional Committee reported receiving $289,100 from Musk in August, according to its report filed with the Federal Election Commission Friday.

You have forgotten about the currency that Trump usually deals in, something called "quid pro quo."

I think because Elon can let him run whatever he wants on Twitter unchecked (disinformation or whatever), and because Elon is all in on grifting crypto bros that Trump is hoping to pull in for their votes before they notice the con.

who knows anymore
