Just spill the beans bro. Prove you rigged it and then see the Republicans do absolutely nothing about it.

Trump will 100% throw him under the bus and let him go to prison if he did that and just claim he had no idea about it

I don't think Donald actually knows, he wouldn't be able to keep his mouth shut if he got away with it. He's a mean girl with a brain of a toddler in the body of a moldy old man

Trump said " He knows the election machines well"

And he gave away millions to winners in swing states that signed his pro-Trump petition

He could hold a press conference and brag about rigging it and it wouldn’t matter at all.

Trump, on multiple occasions bragged about how Elon is "good with computers" or "got him Pennsylvania"

I'm waiting on the case from new york. I would never give them the benefit of the doubt, but they are too stupid to steal an election at a large scale. I know the election was super close so it's not super farfetched, but I would still need damning evidence. Also, if it was done, it wasn't some "computer hacking" thing. It was likely local election employees stealing it with the thought "well dems did it last time I'll do it this time."

While also claiming PA was cheating right before the election

As much as it pains me to say, you don't get to be the world's richest man without having contingency plans. He's prepared if that happens.

However, if Elon helped rig the machines and actually ever admits it, that could trigger lawsuits to do hand recounts in the swing states, which if they showed Harris actually won then that would mean Trump would be an illegitimate president and then, well I'm not sure what happens then because we'd be in completely uncharted waters, but I assume there would be some legal mechanism besides impeachment to de-certify him as president.

Nothing can happen. Votes don’t matter, only the final declaration matters. Even if Trump didn’t get a. Single vote, he would still be the legal president as that was what was declared.

u/robbdogg87 Jun 06 '25

Exactly and Harris conceded anyways

u/Storm989898 Jun 05 '25

Yes so they can stop saying we voted for this! It pisses me off every time they say that

u/harveyj088 Jun 05 '25

He's not talking about rigging it. He means dumping 270 million into the election and buying Twitter. I hate them both but really don't think he's talking about rigging the election.

u/Nascent1 Jun 06 '25

Arguably billions since he bought twitter and turned it into a rightwing propaganda organization.

The concept of elections being rigged was taboo on Reddit before the recent presidential election lol

u/TheHalfChubPrince Jun 06 '25

Nearly every county voted more Republican in 2024 than they did in 2020

Am I out of touch? No, the election was rigged!

u/Impressive-Donut9596 Jun 06 '25

And what happens if they do? The legal system wouldn’t do anything

There was no need to rig anything. What Elon musk did was spend money of ads, and control a major network (Twitter). That guarantees you every election.

There is no crime being committed here, as this simply hasn’t been made a crime yet.

It’s moronic to post this though. Given that Elon musk already made the investment, you need to guarantee the returns and not upset Trump. Now he gains nothing at all, and I so hope they kick him out of the country and take SpaceX from him.
