Elon blows the doors off Soros in terms of the amount of money spent

u/TheDuckOnQuack Hit a moose with his car 3d ago

Also in terms of resources. Elon's net worth is conservatively 100 times higher than George Soros.

u/Amazing-Heron-105 Monkey in Space 3d ago

What has Soros even done that is so terrible?

u/Frosty_Gap_7078 Monkey in Space 3d ago

He had the gall to be both Jewish and philanthropic at the same time.

23

u/Slipperytitski Monkey in Space 3d ago

So he is the devil

u/the6thReplicant Pull that shit up Jamie 2d ago

Actually he had the gall to fund anti-communist groups in Eastern Europe in the 80s. The anti-Soros machinations started then and just continued because, you know, hate machines can't be turned off because the people that actually believe it and the people instigating it are never the same.

u/Imbadyoureworse Monkey in Space 3d ago

My father likes to claim he turned Jews over to the nazi party before he became the shadow king of American politics

u/Amazing-Heron-105 Monkey in Space 3d ago

Damn I'm sorry to hear that

u/Enough-One4975 Monkey in Space 2d ago

Like all good conspiracies, there is some truth to that. When he was a child hiding with a Christian family during the Nazi occupation so he wasn’t sent to an extermination camp, he worked with Nazis as a ‘Christian’ boy his age would and did take part in some actions against Jews like taking their property and the like.

I think those experiences likely drove his actions later in life to support pro-democratic policies and organizations, and since the people criticizing him and saying he deserves to be punished for those actions are the same people complaining when Germany punishes some 90 year old who was an SS officer in charge of one of those extermination camps, they can be rightfully told to fuck off. They want to blame a Jewish child doing what he had to do to survive for the actions of the adults around him who put him in those situations for their personal gain.

u/khay3088 Monkey in Space 2d ago

The real answer is he publicly bet against the British Pound in the 90s. Another public figure on Britain at the time was adamant that was a mistake. Soros ended up being right, making himself a ton of money and was very embarrassing for the other public figure by the name of Rupert Murdoch, who just so happens to own every major conservative media company.

u/Enough-One4975 Monkey in Space 2d ago

That and he funds liberal organizations, and I mean liberal in the true sense, supporting free speech, electoral politics, freedom of religion, etc.

They ask a question and you fly off the handle. You complain about them unable to do work to find an answer when they literally looking for an answer in the most direct way available to them. Go sit down and really think about why a person asking a question causes you to feel the way you feel.

The Nazi George Soros that sold out his own people and bankrupted a country?that guy?

u/the6thReplicant Pull that shit up Jamie 2d ago

Wasn't he 10 at the time? I mean how old could he have been? (He was born in 1930, so he would have been 12 when the war ended.)

Also which country did he bankrupt? England?

Do you want to talk about his funding of anti-communist organisations in Eastern Europe or don't your notes have any info on that?

5

u/Enough-One4975 Monkey in Space 2d ago

Yes, truly a Jewish child hiding with a Christian family taking part in taking property from other Jewish families as part of that process is the worst person from the holocaust. That child should have proudly been sent to the extermination camps!

I do by best to read the profile of everyone I vote for. And also do my best to vote in the interest of those who are underrepresented and underserved.

u/Bawbawian Monkey in Space 3d ago

yeah I like to point out that since citizens united has become law Democrats have controlled neither the courts nor the legislature in large enough majorities to change anything

u/sumoraiden Monkey in Space 2d ago

majority in Citizens United :

Thomas: appointed by HW Bush, Roberts appointed by W Bush, Alito appointed by W Bush, Scalia appointed by Reagan, Kennedy appointed by Reagan

Dissent:

Stevens appointed by Ford, Sotomayor appointed by Obama, Breyer appointed by Clinton, Ginsberg appointed by Clinton

Simply a fact that if we had not elected republicans to the presidency we wouldn’t have citizens united prostituting our gov to the highest bidder

u/the_Cheese999 2d ago

Yup.

Rightoids are evil and the primary reason for most of our problems.

They have to repeal citizens United. There should never be one person controlling the US elections because that's what he's doing

The UK has a spending limit of roughly £34 Million per party. In the 2024 election the UK in total spent around £70 Million.

Elon Musk alone has spent more than 5 times the entire UK alone, and that's only the stuff people can track from Elon.

It's legit insane how America has turned elections into a fucking sport.

u/davidhumerful Monkey in Space 1d ago

The thing is that if all 80 million of us who voted against Trump donated like 10-25 bucks to a pro-democracy candidate, we could easily drown out the billionaires. Maybe like 20 million of those voters are truly unable to afford $10, so make it 60 million. It still stands. Elon Musk doesn't have nearly as much money in reality as he has on paper.

u/Technical-Activity95 Monkey in Space 2d ago

what for? for some ad campaign?

1

u/brokemac N-Dimethyltryptamine 2d ago

Canvassing, ads, organizer salaries...maybe I don't understand your question. OP's post is about how Elon Musk is using his money to influence the election. I was saying we can do the same thing across 80 million people with very small donations. What are you asking?

2

u/Technical-Activity95 Monkey in Space 1d ago

if you have 80mil donators you don't need ad campaign. the ad campaign is how you get the 80mil

u/Big-Lettuce644 Monkey in Space 2d ago

Paying to get more ads, what an idea 😂

u/brokemac N-Dimethyltryptamine 2d ago edited 2d ago

Haha, yeah, it seems like a ridiculous question unless I'm missing something. Everyone knows that money helps win elections. The candidate who spends more wins 90% of the time, and small contributors are the lifeblood of grassroots campaigns fighting pieces of shit like Ken Paxton. James Talarico would not stand a chance if everyone was like "what do you need money for?? Fucking ads?" 😂

To the side that won't challenge anything he does or try to make any regulations to keep him in check or make him pay taxes or have any oversight on the funding he gets from the government. This isn't good for anyone. He does not give a flying fuck about anything you stand for
