    Aha.

    Trump later invited Musk on stage. The X owner walked on wearing a black blazer over a shirt saying “Occupy Mars” and a black MAGA hat. “As you can see, I’m not just MAGA,” said Musk. “I’m dark MAGA.” Dark MAGA is a memecoin, a type of cryptocurrency inspired by online trends. The valuation of Dark MAGA soared right around the time that Musk spoke.

    Now it makes sense.

    Also, I am really enjoying their new, desperate voter registration drive. I think they figured out that a bunch of January 6th insurrectionists didn’t even bother voting.

      He can’t let a chance to pump 'n dump a shitcoin pass, can he?

        It’s always about the grift. That’s why he and Trump get along so well.

        He’s like the “Spongebob-as-Quickster” meme:

        Wanna see me pump and dump crypto?

        …Wanna see me do it again?

      That’s it, just grifting a shitcoin? Are we sure there isn’t some kind of paramilitant dog whistle or something that the article writer missed?

        I actually assumed it was because Dark Brandon was popular and getting things done.

        Could honestly be both. I dimly remember “dark MAGA” being a thing in 2020 to denote the weird racist accelerationists.

      why vote if it’s all rigged anyway?
