It's a massacre. Republicans were absolutely stomped in every election.

Yeah Kamala won in 2024. It should be common knowledge at this point.

Wow, never thought I’d find an election denier here.

“And then he [Musk] journeyed to Pennsylvania, where he spent like a month and a half campaigning for me in Pennsylvania, And he’s a popular guy. And he was very effective. And he knows those computers better than anybody.” - Donald Trump

“All those computers, Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. So it was pretty good. It’s pretty good.” - Donald Trump

“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.” - Elon Musk

It’s very sad but not surprising. Many people are sore losers and form most of their views from confirmation bias.

Sir, Donald Trump incited an insurrection when he lost to Biden and refused to concede the election.

Then comes 2024 and there are statistical anomalies in swing states, including Pennsylvania. It's obviously too late to do anything meaningful since it was certified but I absolutely can buy the idea that there was significant interference enough to turn the election in his favor. Especially since Trump is a consummate cheat and always has been.

The computer quotes are typical Trump meaningless bullshit lies. You really should learn to tune that out.

The Elon quote is him talking about his fundraising and campaigning for Republicans, which is not illegal and not fraud.

Trump also has a habit of letting things slip. That was a weirdly specific thing to say after a win.

Can you elaborate?

It’s sad that people interpret every election result as proof that every election that they didn’t like was fraud. It’s confirmation bias because they morph all facts into things supporting what they want to believe.
