U.S. President Donald Trump, in an interview with NBC News on Saturday, said there would be “serious consequences” if billionaire Elon Musk funds Democratic Party candidates to run against Republicans who vote for Trump’s sweeping tax-cut bill.
Trump declined to say what those consequences would be in the phone interview, and went on to add that he had not had discussions about whether to investigate Musk.
Asked if he thought his relationship with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO was over, Trump said, “I would assume so, yeah.”
You really strongly believe in Citizens United, I guess? A dollar means nothing. It’s something you exchange for goods and services. If Musk gives a dollar to a Democratic candidate, he’s simply empowering that candidate. It’s not some kind of evil spell that instantly contaminates the candidate.
Sheesh, no wonder American politics is such an irredeemable mess of authoritarianism.
You said it yourself. Money is exchanged for goods and services. What is Musk buying? His history doesn’t lean towards good will.
He’s buying a Democrat into power.
If Musk donated money to an animal shelter would you conclude that puppies must be evil? Look at what’s being done, not who it’s being done by.
I’d wonder what the shelter was going to do with the unadopted animals, yes. I’d infer they were probably going to his brain chip testing farm.
