Trump 47

So Musk will give EACH Wisconsin voter who signs his petition $100 To sign, Then if they refer a person and that person signs the petition then the person who referred them gets ANOTHER $100.

And now

Every Other Day a person who signed the petition will be drawn to receive $1 MILLION

This IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE IDEA...this is straight up oligarchy. The GOP has become an Oligarchy...plain and simple

Elon Musk hands offering $1 MILLION every other day to Wisconsin in desperate attempt to flip Wisconsin’s Supreme Court​


Elon Musk handed out $1 million to a voter in a desperate bid to flip Wisconsin’s Supreme Court in favor of the GOP.

“Exciting to announce our first million-dollar award for supporting our petition against activist judges in Wisconsin! Next million dollar award will be announced in 2 days”, the world’s richest man posted on X late Wednesday.


The donation is Musk’s latest gesture as he seeks to garner signatures for an America PAC petition opposing “activist judges” ahead of the Wisconsin Supreme Court election on April 1.

The open seat race will decide which party controls the Supreme Court in the Badger state, a major battleground. More broadly, it could be viewed as a referendum on President Donald Trump’s first two months in office.

A statement on the petition site read: “Judges should interpret laws as written, not rewrite them to fit their personal or political agendas.”

It also comes as Tesla is battling the state of Wisconsin in court over laws prohibiting vehicle manufacturers from selling cars to consumers directly.

The New York Times reports that the lawsuit was filed in January, just days before Musk splurged cash into the race.

As it stands, the Supreme Court is ruled by Democratic Party justices.

Both Musk and Trump are standing firmly behind Republican Judge Brad Schimel in the race as he goes head-to-head against Democrat Susan Crawford.

Schimel, a Republican, is a circuit court judge and previously served as the state’s former attorney general.


Musk is intensifying his efforts to swing the race red by piling over $20 million into Schimel’s campaign.

Schimel even appeared alongside the DOGE lead in a social media livestream on Saturday and was endorsed by Trump last week.

“All Voters who believe in Common Sense should GET OUT TO VOTE EARLY for Brad Schimel,” Trump posted on his social media site Truth Social.

The $1 million payment represents a sizable increase on Musk’s other offer of an instant $100 for every petition signee, with a further $100 if they persuade another person to sign.

America PAC, Musk’s political action committee, announced the lucky receiver as Scott A, from Green Bay, Wisconsin, writing that he was “the first $1 Million spokesperson for signing our petition.”

The post then teased the idea that there would be “more surprise announcements” in the upcoming five days.


Flamboyant donations are becoming an archetypal trait of the Tesla billionaire as he continues to ramp up his political engagement. He is also trusted with significant responsibilities and works alongside Trump as a key White House adviser.

On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared that Musk’s “tech team” was being deployed to investigate Signalgate alongside the National Security Council and the White House Counsel’s Office.

Crawford’s campaign released a statement, saying: “We are grateful that the Wisconsin Ethics Commission is taking this deceitful and manipulated image seriously. Wisconsinites have long seen Brad Schimel’s shadiness and corruption at play — from giving a plea deal to a child predator after accepting thousands in campaign cash from the man’s lawyer to letting more than 6,000 rape kits sit untested for two years while victims waited for justice. We urge the Ethics Commission to thoroughly investigate this matter, what platforms and systems the Schimel campaign used to manipulate this image, and determine if it is in violation of 2023 Wisconsin Act 123, which requires disclosure of AI-manipulated images. Wisconsinites deserve better than false advertising using deceptive and artificially altered content.”
 

That can't be their official Twitter account.


It looks like a cartoon people who oppose the administration's immigration policies would publish.

I would say they can't be this tone deaf but seeing as how they basically talked through a military operation via snapchat last week, well yeah.

Trump has issued an executive order to remove funding from programs at the Smithsonian that promote what he calls an “improper ideology.”

The White House put out a statement that criticized The National Museum of African American History and Culture.

New tattoo? So the new defense secretary, a middle aged man, decided to celebrate something by getting new ink?
 
I don’t at all like tariffs. But something should occur on auto tariff disparity that Euro applies to US vehicles. At some point, previous administrations became okay with trade tariff imbalances. Europe currently charges 4x more on auto tariffs than US currently does. When Trump first mentioned the 30% tariff there appeared to be plans to lower the current tariff Europe imposes to match the US tariff (Feb article below), but that appears to have stalled.


I'm not anywhere near an expert when it comes to international trade. Fairly clueless to be real about it. The perception I have is that our tariff threats are basically being made as a negotiation tactic. It seems like everyone across the board is against major auto tariffs. I don't think our intentions are to actually implement these.....but if Europe and everyone else calls the bluff I don't think Trump will back off and that will suck.
 
That says Infidel n Arabic

I hit a paywall but I figured as much. He probably has idiot white guy in Chinese on back and was told it meant powerful warrior or something like that.

He was assigned an extremely important position and among other things, his maturity and decision making skills were concerns about his competency to handle it. We've already seen multiple examples of why this is a problem, but this doesn't help. Some people are gonna say it's only a tattoo but it's one thing to get something discreet when someone gets a big promotion at work. It's quite another when you go from acting like a frat bro to arguably the 2nd most important cabinet position for the most powerful country in the world.

Things were so much better in Trump's first term when he started out with a few competent people added to his inner circle.
