I think trans rights is a strength, for our side, this year. Not-future-Gov. Acton missed that boat. It's the discrimination against people, for no reason, that is a thing that can affect people's votes, we've seen the occasional Republican official with a heart say "well I looked at the evidence and it's there", with regard to transgender identity being a sound concept, I say Tim Walz should be prominent in our campaign, double down, say proudly that we will accept no less than an egalitarian, equally fair society.
The GOP sure is running scared! Elon could have given a billion at least. Or maybe he’s going to help tRump pay out his “$5K to every adult in the US” promise. LOL!
Trotting out the same tired lies about the LGBTQ+ human beings is a recipe for loss. As it should be.
Let’s do our best to vote blue and encourage others to do the same 💙
Elon Musk has spent enormous amounts of money and influence attacking the transgender community, while his own relationship with his transgender child has become deeply estranged. That history makes his crusade against trans people especially difficult to view objectively.
If Musk wants to use his wealth and platform to wage war on an entire community, he should at least be honest about the personal history that may shape his views. But turning a family conflict into a political campaign against millions of transgender people isn't leadership—it is prejudice amplified by money and power.
No billionaire should get to buy himself a louder voice in attacking someone's identity, dignity, or right to live openly. Transgender people are not political punching bags, and Musk's billions don't make his bigotry any more legitimate.
The last few election cycles have shown that money can no longer buy elections with confidence. It's a bid in an auction (or a gamble; probably a better metaphor), with absolutely no guaranteed payout. Mobilization through grassroots organizing (whether via social media for the younger crowd or other means for us ancients) is turning elections.
Elon Musk is about to get exposed for his election corruption. There is a documentary that is going to be released on October 16. All his starlink election fraud is about to get exposed for everybody to see. He responds by suing for defamation. This is what it looks like when corruption gets exposed. They fight tooth and nail to stop the truth. Trump tried to stop the 1991 documentary on his corruption and free wheeling and dealing in the business world. He sued every TV station that tried to show it. He could not outrun the internet. It is everywhere on the internet now. You are an internet search away from watching it. I never seen it until a few months ago. Same is going to happen with Elon Musk. It would serve Elon Musk right if he ends up in jail or deported. They need a scapegoat to try to blame to wash their hands of corruption. Elon Musk is perfect target since he is an immigrant.
I'm also 99% certain Musk was behind the far right candidate win in Germany. And remember, it's not just Musk, it's the entire far right, fascist, Palantir, flock camera, tech bro, Zio, surveillance, misogynist, white supremacist, multi-pronged attack on anything and everything that hints at free speech, diversity, and democracy.

Fuck Musk! 😡🤬😡
They might use us as scapegoats and distraction from other issues.
But we are the future.
We are literally human evolution.
And tomorrow belongs to us.

I’m going to send Abdul el-sayed to the senate. He’s a progressive who supports us.
I wish all this money could go towards something productive
So we could take comfort that he isn't spending the money on Dems who haven't capitulated?
I'm reaching for good news here, some tin lining.
Thank you Baum.

I hate him with every fiber of my being.
Someone who thinks he's going to live happily on Mars has noteworthy holes in his thinking cap, so I don't see this as very surprising...
