Donald Trump has forged close ties with the world’s richest man in the world, Elon Musk, but the President-elect’s fan base is lashing out at Musk’s social network.

    Donald Trump has forged close ties with the world’s richest man

    Helluva misleading statement should read “World’s richest man bought himself Donald Trump’s presidency and friendship”.

      Friendship is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that quote!

          Thats not even necessarily true. He’s the richest person in the world where we can objectively measure their wealth.

          But if you wanna go into wealth that isn’t measurable like people in the Saudi royal family, he’s probably not the highest.

          Edit: Also, I bet you if all the rich people in the world had to liquidate their assets within 6 months, and then we measured their actual worth, he’d be much lower than many of them due to how much is tied up in Tesla which would crash if he tried to sell it as we saw in 2022.

    @A_Aron1975, who calls himself “MAGA MAN,” also chimed in:

    “This is crazy! What happened to X? I had such high hopes for this platform,” the user wrote.

    No joke can top the sudden confusion of 49yo MAGA MAN with a blue checkmark.

    From the article, “When I subscribed to Premium to support Elon, almost immediately my account was silenced for a week with no explanation, and I had posted nothing even remotely controversial.”

    You can’t make this stuff up. It is like his fan base likes to get shit on.

    Guess what MAGA, you got bought and sold down the river… Musk has little use for you now.
