      Elon Musk says he has “done enough” to help MAGA Republicans win elections, signaling a shift in his kingmaker role as Trump’s top campaign backer. 

      After months of watching his popularity plummet, the DOGE slasher-in-chief said he plans to cut back on funding political campaigns—a move that could dampen the Republicans’ efforts at next year’s midterm elections and in the lead up to the 2028 presidential election.

      When asked if he would continue spending as much as he has in the past at the Qatar Economic Forum, Musk answered: “I think, in terms of political spending, I’m going to do a lot less in the future.”

      Next step will be Elon switching Grok and X to become anti-Republican… and I am here for it.

    3. Fake dispute. Just like the one with Vlad. They still plan to rob & plunder Europe.

    4. It’s beyond sad that our most promising hope for expecting our representatives to check creeping fascism lies in the world’s richest man changing his mind about campaign funding. I’m disgusted with this country, what a fucking joke.

      I hope he experiences no peace or joy for the rest of his days due to the damage he has caused. I pray he and his bloodline never recovers from this.

    6. The money is still going to flow, he’s just not going to be running around a stage with a chainsaw.

      Another Trump ‘hanger on-er’ used up and thrown away. Sorry Elon, no one gets to just walk away from the Trump crime family.

    8. Spoiler alert. He’s lying. He’s just trying to distance his toxic ass name from the money

      I heard his gusher doesn’t work due to a botched gusher enlargement procedure.

      Keep an eye out for mysterious super pacs. Hes gonna keep paying. Hes just gonna hide it.

      Bull. **Fucking**. Shit.

      Please, Daily Beast and other media, I beg you: please stop giving credence to this WWE-ass narrative creation.

      Uh huh. Who are we being asked to trust? Elon? Republicans? And why should we?

    13. Fuck Elmo, and fuck Trump. I’m throwing parties when they keel over 🥳🙊

      I mean, becoming the wealthiest person in the world on a company that makes an expensive product that slots in to one political demographic, then turning around, insulting them, funding the opposition is certainly a choice. But it makes him look even more stupid that he acts like this is a surprise.

      Elon doesn’t appear to be a smart man. It seems Tesla and SpaceX excelled because very smart people who knew how to work Elon for the money while giving him some glory got it going.

    15. I don’t believe this one bit. Elon is the Soros-Boogeyman of the right. He’s just saying he’s “done” and moving to the back seat. He’s still the creepy, Nazi poster boy of the GOP.

    16. If we ever get a sane administration back after this mess, Elon needs to be under investigation on day one.

      He’s just so desperate for attention and “friends”. I can’t imagine a more lonely or pathetic man. Despite all his wealth and resources he still hasn’t figured it out, and because of that everyone else needs to suffer. Sad.

      He got what he was after. He heisted the data, he set up his digital backdoors, he solidified his government contracts and he shuttered the agencies that were looking into his criminal activities. He even got to have fun firing tens of thousands of Americans while palling around with his crew of college bros. He doesn’t need to keep paying the republicans. He got his.

    19. Elon already got resolution to the majority of government scrutiny on his companies so he got what he came for.  Now he is free to increase his net worth from 400b to 800b and try to buy another election in the future to keep propping himself up.

      So it’s official, all the money in the world can’t buy you friends.

    21. NounAdjective on

      all of these are just fake clickbait articles. elon legally isn’t allowed to be seen as part of the government for the remainder of the year, unless the budget bill gets passed which makes him a permanent entity

    22. Fake News. This guy is the worst. He got most of what he wanted already. Remember when he would not donate to anyone in the 2024 presidential election. They are just trying to distance him for now because everyone hates him. He is still there. His people are still there.

    23. He will still fund their campaigns. He just wants the public to think he won’t.

    24. Eh, he *says* he’s lowering contributions, we’ll see what he actually does. Not that it matters – don’t buy his Swasti-cars.

    25. transient_thought_CA on

      He doesn’t care.
      He got what he wanted. He gutted and mangled the agencies that were investigating him and his companies. Plus, he managed to scrape millions of people’s personal data to send out to foreign entities, not to mention securing multiple billion dollar contracts for his companies.

    26. BurtReynoldsLives on

      For now. There is literally no mechanism in America that will prevent him from trying to buy another election should he choose to which is utterly and completely insane.

    27. Oceanbreeze871 on

      So elected republicans have zero reason to fear getting primaried by Trump now.

      They’ll stand up to him….:right? Right?

      Crickets

    28. This guy could have done great things with the money he wasted on the Trump campaign. Things that could have helped and ingratiated himself with the public. Instead, he acted like a jolly fool with a chainsaw setting out to make things rough for the very people that spend money to make him rich in the first place. He blew it.

      It’s not so easy when you burn all your cash to buy something you were trying to leverage as a pump and dump, borrow money from hostile foreign sovereign states, and proceed to dismantle all of our governments systems to satisfy the oligarchy and rip off the commoners with snake oil pitches about multilevel marketing type nonsense in government.

      He’s a leech and a cancer and I can’t believe I ever thought otherwise.
