BREAKING: An Economics Professor Just Made A Pretty Stunning Argument About Elon Musk.
According to the professor, Musk spent roughly $250 million during the 2024 election cycle.
He claims that's just 0.025% of Musk's wealth.
In other words, the amount spent was so small relative to Musk's fortune that he could theoretically spend the same amount thousands of times over.
That's a democracy question, not just a money question.
🚨WOW. Hunter Biden delivers a surprisingly insightful explanation of the difference between authenticity and audacity on Gavin Newsom’s podcast.
Then he unloads on Trump:
"Donald Trump has the audacity to say that he's 6'3" and weighs 224 pounds... when we both know he's 5'11", 300."
"This is the difference between being audacious and authentic."
TRIGGER WARNING for USA Republicans cheering for Folarin Balogun:

That's a lot of diversity, and that's what makes America great. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.
Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.
A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.
Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.
The funniest part about the world rallying behind Zoran Mamdani is that he’s literally just doing his job, but by doing so shows us that every other politician is just lining their pockets & leaving us to rot 😭
Republicans are in charge because we promised:
to Make America Healthy Again.
to start No New Wars,
to put people above corporations,
to put America above foreign countries,
to release the Epstein files,
to not spy on citizens,
to eliminate fraud,
what the hell happened?!
He's a trillionaire who spends every day on this app trying to start a race war and incite riots.
Imagine having all that money and still behaving like an incel living in his mum's basement.
Bragging that you dropped $250 million dollars worth of bombs on Iran IN ONE NIGHT, while people are starving and struggling to pay bills and can't get health insurance, is NOT the flex you think it is.
IT IS OBSCENE.
Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.
Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
Hi, Donald. Midcoast Mainer here.
You did not, in fact, “have to go to Japan” to get a Maine lobster before you. We sold millions. Our lobster fishery is one of the most valuable in the U.S.
It’s a big reason why people come here, in case you didn’t know!
If anything is hurting our lobstermen, it’s inflation (which you apparently “love”).
Also, exactly *zero* Maine fishermen run their boats at three knots. More like 30 knots—and some go even faster. You should check out a lobster boat race sometime!
I think it might be time for one of your famous Oval Office naps, because you have ZERO idea what you’re talking about.
