          You joke, but apparently Trump did actually try to get Musk to buy his garbage barge of a social media site

            Musk has a string of businesses that he buys, starts to run, and then drives them into the ground. Buying a business that is already driven into the ground is a new one,

    Yeah, no, this isn’t exactly unpopular on the majority of Lemmy lmao. With how reductive the Republican party is being, particularly towards foreign policy, I wouldn’t put backdoor deals out of the question.

      That’s exactly what it is. It should be downvoted into oblivion (even though it’s likely true). It’s a weird form of karma whoring in a community which should be smart enough to not encourage the behavior
