Money, elections and Elon

When Trump won the election in 2016, hatred and racism ceased to be topics to avoid. It was alright to be openly racist toward people that were not white or that were immigrants. The racism existed deep within but Trump and his sloganeering became the triggers for people to take that racism out in the open.

This time around, racism has taken a back seat to corruption. In American politics, corruption was suspected but now it is no longer a topic for conspiracy theorists. Everyone knows it and sees it. Corruption is out in the open. Trump and his family members accept gifts left and right from influential people. His son just recently had a lavish party paid for by a Russian oligarch. That word oligarch is always used when the western journalism talks about some rich Russian businessman who may have connections to the Russian government. I actually looked up the meaning of that word. An oligarch is someone who uses his or her enormous wealth to influence government decisions, politics and society. When you plug in that definition, you'd realise that Elon Musk and Miriam Adelson are the biggest American oligarchs.

American culture has this weird tendency where the people are made to believe that corruption and bad things are what other nations and other governments do and that we have a watchdog system that keeps a check on every government branch. That is as fictional as Badar Munir shooting 25 people with a single bullet.

Some months ago, Elon Musk was asked if he hated Muslims. He didn't say no. Instead he gave an answer that people give when they want to hide their hatred but also cannot make it public. He said that people who have a different value system or culture than the West should not come to the West. Fair enough. Elon Musk grew up in the apartheid South Africa where his minority race was busy keeping the majority race, which was the black race, out of power and subject to persecution and violations of human rights. Things changed in South Africa and that is why he is upset about that too but now he wants to bring that value system, which actually is racism, hatred and xenophobia, to the land of the free and home of the brave. Does that fit with the Western democratic values?

Elon wants people with a different value system than the West in their own respective countries because they may pray, eat, dress and look differently. But he doesn't mind selling them his Starlink internet. Just a few days ago, he went on Twitter (I don't call it X just because that repulsive man with a Cybertruck styled Torso says so) ranting about how Mukesh Ambani was the actual leader of India because he wasn't allowing Starlink to enter India. Elon doesn't want the same Hindus and Muslims in America where they can have freedom but somehow he cares about their freedom to express themselves using his stupid internet.

Since 2025, Elon has spent about $366 million to influence the outcome of the Midterm elections that are about to happen in America next month. The use of money in American politics is a disgrace, which allows the most despicable people and corporations to influence elections using cash. The outlandish interpretation of the 14th amendment to the US constitution and judicial decisions such as Citizens United of 2010 have paved the way for limitless cash to be funneled into candidates' campaigns running for office who upon winning would do the bidding of the donors. Elon is busy in wholesale bribery of the Republican party as an investment because he expects wild returns by getting even more government contracts, which is actually his main and real source of wealth. He is a welfare queen. He had spent about $290 million on presidential election 2024, which resulted in his net worth going from about $300 billion to over a trillion. He made more money from that investment than Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, PayPal, and anything else combined.

He knows the American political landscape is for sale and the psycho oligarch is ready to spread his cash around to pocket exponential gains.
