Translation: “give me enough money and I’ll promote whatever you want.”

Most presidents at least pretended they couldn’t be bought.

RamblingPanda ,

He on the other hand is haggling openly and then brags about it.

And his moron followers are proud of him 🙄

He’s going to “drain the swamp” and replace it with an auction house.

adespoton ,

I thought he was draining the swamp so he could sell swamp water?

Dultas ,

Build condos on it.

Turns out “playing 4D chess” is just MAGA politikese for “broadcasting our corruption loudly and assuming enough people are also either too corrupt, ignorant, or disaffected to do anything about it.”

Nah. Imo, this is him telling oil company that they need to step up and fully fund his requests for money “or else”. Didn’t he recently ask the oil industry for an insane amount of money at the beginning of his campaign or something?

That’s not really contradicting what I’m saying.

LilDumpy , (edited )
@LilDumpy@lemmy.world avatar

No, you’re right. But I think this is specifically a message to the oil industry.

Randomgal ,

Fr wtf, the shamelessness adds insult to injury.

Buffalox ,

No translation needed, since he is saying it outright.

Bought and paid for politician Trump is.

kent_eh ,

Except he doesn’t sell himself to the highest builder, he’ll sell out to any and all of them at the same time.

Little quid, little pro, lots of quo.

The best quo. Lots of smart people are saying it’s the best quo. The quid? Not so good. But the quo is good.

Dude’s made a living selling his stupid face every opportunity he can to get attention, why would he let a little thing like presidential integrity get in the way? It certainly didn’t when he was actually president!

TriPolarBearz ,

Did someone say frijoles?

Trumps and Beans

“Some fok’ll never tip their hand, but then again some fok’ll. Like Donald the Slack-jawed Yokel.”

Trump: “It wasn’t my fault, he had a LOT
of money.”

sylver_dragon ,

Just waiting for MAGA idiots to start buying EVs to “own the libs”. I mean, I’d rather people shift to EVs because it’s less damaging to the environment; but, a win is a win, I guess.

EnderWiggin ,

If that started to happen I’d gladly just play along.

sp3tr4l ,

God damnit, yesterday I explained to someone in another thread what Trump meant when he said he could get Elon to kneel and beg, that Trump as President could revoke EV subsidies and/or heavily influence or defund NASA such that they stop funding SpaceX.

I did not expect this goddamned moron to just actually say as much, directly, out loud, 12 hours later.

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

He actually said the opposite here.

IronKrill ,

What the parent comment is saying is the implication is that without Elon’s money, he wouldn’t consider EVs. So same meaning.

RememberTheApollo_ ,

“He bought me fair and square.”

Voroxpete ,

Incredible way to openly admit that your policy agenda is for sale to the highest bidder.

enbyecho ,

Oh he’s never tried to hide that he’s for sale… e.g. …senate.gov/…/budget-finance-committees-launch-jo…

credo ,

I thought you were supposed to not admit to the bribe.

The argument has always been, “No, we just give to candidates who support our cause.” Of course everyone knows that’s BS, because the support always follows the cash. But then here comes this dumbass and just- up and admits to corruption.

floofloof ,

It’s OK, the Supreme Court has confirmed that bribes are totally legal now.

jaemo ,

It’s funny to see the aesthetic transformation of Tesla’s vehicles overlaid with the timeline of Musk’s weirdification. I mean he was always a shitheel fuck, but in the past he was a lot more confused about who to game and how to game them.

The same Elon Musk that permanently deleted this image off the internet forever?

Totally Deleted Forever Permanently I’m Super Serial

Eeeeh heeee yooooow

Billie Jean is not my looover

800XL ,

Good thing is that there are other auto makers that make EVs, and even their worst EVs are still better than a Tesla.

InternetUser2012 ,

Lol, what a fucking moron.

Rhaedas ,

"I'm no puppet! You're the puppet!"

TrickDacy ,

Lol so he just said that he can’t argue with being bought. Hmm, noticed the “drain the swamp” tagline coincidentally has faded out since 2015.

“I am bought and paid for.”

So he was bought? Got it.
