As an immigrant, Elon Musk can't run for president himself, so he spent $130M+ of his own money to buy the presidency for Trump.
Trump will be the one sworn in, but pay attention to who's really pulling the strings.

To recap, the Republican Party has opposed:
-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Tax increases on corporations & the rich
-The expanded Child Tax Credit
-Student debt relief
Doesn't sound like the party of the working class to me.
How to root out Trumpism https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-root-of-trumpism?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
Whether it's antisemitism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, racism, or transphobia, the right seeks to manufacture fears of “the other” to distract from where all the wealth and power have gone…all the way to the top.
Know the truth — and stand united against hate and division.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Let’s be clear: U.S. citizens are the only people who vote in U.S. elections.
Nobody else does.
When Trump claims otherwise, he is lying.
Today. Holding each other's hands. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/today-holding-each-others-hands?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
If you make less than $360,000 per year, your taxes will actually INCREASE under Donald Trump.
Anyone making more than $360,000 will get a tax cut.
Trump's pitching more trickle-down economic nonsense, but please tell me again that he's the candidate for working people.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has admitted that if Republicans win control of Congress and the White House, they'll try to repeal the CHIPS and Science Act — which is creating more than 115,000 jobs.
Let's flip the House and elect @KamalaHarris so he doesn't get that chance.
There’s a dirty Trump trick you need to look out for. He used it in 2020 to try to overturn the election, and he’s going to do it again. But it doesn’t work if you know it’s coming.
Watch out for Trump to exploit something elections experts call the “red mirage” to prematurely declare victory before all the votes are counted.
You see, in almost every election, Republicans appear to take an early lead. That’s the red mirage.
Then that lead gets smaller throughout… https://www.instagram.com/p/DB9oGT9py7R/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
If Harris wins, will Congress certify the results? There are now 172 election deniers in Congress. But the new Congress gets sworn in before the election is certified. Your down ballot votes could decide whether your presidential vote is respected or discarded. https://www.facebook.com/946262746867173/posts/1094555358704577?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

A third of Trump’s campaign funding has come from billionaires, including several he’s pledged to appoint to his cabinet.
Fascism backed by Big Money is one of the most dangerous of all political alliances.
We saw it in 1930s Germany, and we’re seeing it again today.
After Trump threatened him with “life in prison,” Mark Zuckerberg has cozied up to him and reportedly allowed militia groups to organize on Facebook.
Reminder that when billionaires control platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
