    Bannon and Miller may have the ideas but
    Musk and Vivek have the money

    IMO Trump likes MONEY over IDEAS

    Word on the street is he violated the terms of his student visa thirty years ago.

    Trump simplification turned a 2 page 1040 into 2 partial pages with 6 separate sub-schedules to get to the same info that was on the old 1040.

    Elon & Gronk would hate a simplified tax system because they would pay more.

    Your melt down was precalculated. You melted down over an assumption of melting down.

    Actually this is the common stages of emotion for your average right winger today who is is terminally online. Melt over assumptions of leftist "melting". Your raison d'etre in life now is "triggering" your ideological opponent.

    Trump ally Laura Loomer on Musk: ‘Nobody wants to cross this guy’

    Laura Loomer, a staunch ally of President-elect Trump and far-right activist, suggested that some Republicans in Trump’s circle don’t want to cross billionaire Elon Musk.

    “It sounds like people are scared of crossing the king, the king of the world, Elon Musk, the monarch,” Loomer told longtime conservative broadcaster and pundit Eric Bolling on Monday.

    “Nobody wants to cross this guy,” she added in the interview, as highlighted by Mediaite.

    Loomer also suggested during the interview that Musk’s multimillion-dollar campaign that helped propel Trump back into the Oval Office may have intimidated some within the president-elect’s base.

    “This is the problem when you … allow for a billionaire to make a $200 million donation. And so, maybe we really do need to have campaign finance regulations in this country,” Loomer said.

    Throughout the 2024 election cycle, the Tesla and SpaceX executive donated nearly $239 million, including in-kind contributions, to America PAC, his super PAC that backed Trump’s latest presidential bid, according to Federal Election Commission reports filed Thursday night.


    Loomer’s comment comes amid escalated scrutiny from the far-right activist against the tech mogul for his close allyship to the president-elect. Loomer took aim at Musk, calling him a “Stage 5 clinger” during a separate interview with former Trump adviser Steve Bannon on Monday.

    “I think that a lot of people have a hard time speaking truth to power, and a lot of people are afraid of taking on billionaires,” Loomer told Bannon on his “War Room” podcast. “He is the richest man in the world, and so he kind of orbits President Trump.”

    “As I called him the other day, I said he’s a Stage 5 clinger,” she continued.

    Musk and ex-GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, tapped to lead Trump’s incoming “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), faced backlash from some of Trump’s supporters after signaling their support for the H-1B work visa, a key immigration program designed to attract international talent.

    Loomer and other hard-line immigration Republicans were critical of Musk, who faced accusations of censorship after several right-wing accounts on Musk’s social platform X, including Loomer’s, lost access to premium features including verification and monetization, NBC News reported.

    I find it amusing the people who are complaining about losing their precious blue check are the same ones who said X would fail @Major and the blue checkmark is stupid and should only be reserved for the elites.

    Now that they lost their blue check, they are crying foul because they are no longer profiting from this "failed" company and are now subjected to the problems the blue check mark was trying to prevent.

    Idiots

    Removing their check marks and being demonetized simply because they have different viewpoints is the definition of censorship. While I don't agree with their political views censoring them simply bcz they don't like H1B visas is exactly what you morons claim others did.

    Quit bootlicking and worshipping billionaires. Get off your knees yall are pathetic @Space Ghost
