  1. With a month left in the presidential campaign, [former president Donald Trump](https://www.wired.com/story/trump-get-out-the-vote-online/) returned to Butler for a rally less than three months after the [assassination attempt](https://www.wired.com/story/trump-shooting-assassination-conspiracies/) on Trump’s life that resulted in the death of one rally attendee. This time, Trump was joined by X owner [Elon Musk](https://www.wired.com/story/x-twitter-first-transparency-report-since-elon-musks-takeover-is-finally-here/) and vice presidential candidate [JD Vance](https://www.wired.com/story/jd-vance-venmo/).

    The X owner walked on wearing a black blazer over a shirt saying “Occupy Mars” and a black MAGA hat. “As you can see, I’m not just MAGA,” said Musk. “I’m dark MAGA.” Dark MAGA is a memecoin, a type of cryptocurrency inspired by online trends. The [valuation](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/dark-maga) of Dark MAGA soared right around the time that Musk spoke.

    Oh for fuck sakes. All you young MAGA out there all pissed off at corporate greed and shamelessness of the system you’re literally voting for it.

  3. Didn’t think Musk could do anything more cringe than that stupid truck that looks like a 12 year-old drew it and let his 9 year-old brother name it, but here we are.

    He said DORK maga. What grown “man” spends that much time on twitter pretending to be cool?

    Dark MAGA? WTF is that. A more evil version of MAGA? I can’t see how that is really possible.

    Well Tesla sales are going to plummet. It’s generally the people with money AND brains who buy them…..:D

    Two idiots who punch the country in the face who helped them get their wealth in face. Imagine that.

  8. Who remembers when Elon told us it was the scandal of the century for leaders of Twitter to be partisan.

  9. “There is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the money touch, but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.”

  10. He’s gone full mask off. He’s probably been full mask off for years now really, but still, he’s always been anti-liberal but not yet staunchly pro trump, right? Now there’s video of him saying “they want to take away your right to vote!” after jumping with glee up to the stage (literally) like the pathetic lap dog he wants to be

  11. Is Elon really a boon to Trump at this point? Maybe it’s just the left that’s found him off putting, but his takeover or Twitter really exposed him for the joke he is, even if it’s still running today.

  12. I now realize why musk is on the trump train, it’s not purely political it’s he’s going to be run out of business by his incompetence and he’s looking for a handout.

    “Keep arguing over FEMA, immigrants and Ukraine while I get billions of your tax dollars, you putrid serfs!”

    Musk should have looked at a list of previous guests. They’re all washed up, old, white, angry losers. Every one of them.

  15. WhoEvenIsPoggers on

    “If we don’t win, this will be the last election.”

    As if we just forgot that Trump said that exact thing if they voted for HIM

    How is Bidens administration OK with this person being in so many highly sensitive contracts?

    This fucking dork is always trying to get make one of his creations/memes/whatever you call it gain mainstream traction and it never does lol. Nobody refers to Twitter as X like he’s always trying to get people to. If he creates a xmail, Noones gonna be using that over gmail on mass. And Noones gonna be calling themselves “dark maga”. What a loser

  18. I hope they both get stuck on Mars and can’t get back. Should be red enough for these motherfuckers.

    People need to be aware that this dude is straight up trying to commit election interference.
    He’s changing algorithms on X to make sure him and all the right wing bots are the first thing you see.
    His tweets are fucking insane.
    Fuck Elon Musk.

  20. God, I hate this guy. This is about taxes and him pocketing more government funding – nothing else. Worker’s taxes into billionaire pockets. Creep.
