The democrats got exactly what they had coming an they lost it all perfect.

[AnnieinKC]

Who voted for Elon? Did I miss a meeting? Isn't Musk's contracts a conflict of interest?

[ezyrdr]

Damn. Tim Waltz said something that I wish a lot of others on the Democrat side would do.
It’s time to put the election behind and find common ground with our neighbors

[lorimeyers]

Here we go with the media’s continued derangement.

[joelmilsom]

Democrats outspent the Republicans on the campaign. Still lost.

F - elon does not need to be in on any of the politics or especially foreign policy .

[AndrewPeterson-nhoj]

What went wrong is Harris. The country sees how nasty it is here in California. They don’t want this.

[AethosPallisades]

Finally smart people will run the country.

Media won't stop slobbing this man's nob: sources

[mindyourbusinessmotherfuck]

Elon Musk sitting in on a call with three different presidents is disturbing. He does lobby and donate heavily to politicians. Yet I just don't think that qualifies him to be in that position. What's really his agenda is my question?😮😮😮

[PigeonPlays-zfmq]

Elon is not a politician, tf is he doing on these calls

[markbecker-rjqc]

I'm I'm sick of this fake news BS ABC NBC CBS we don't need any of their new shows goodbye Lester Holt and Norah O'Donnell and David Muir

[SabzeeS]

Damn didn’t even have his VP on that call. Damn

[donnpatez]

So Vance is going to be what some call third wheel in this relationship.

[jadedjaden]

The only reason Elon Musk should be on a call with Ukraine would be if Zelenskyy wanted to buy a Tesla.

[evil_id]

Logan act. Is the USA going to fucking enforce the law or what?
