Summary
Elon Musk, after spending $21 million backing conservative Brad Schimel in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, amplified election fraud claims following Schimel’s loss to liberal judge Susan Crawford.
Musk boosted a post by Alex Jones featuring Roger Stone, who alleged mail-in vote fraud. Schimel rejected the claims, urging supporters to accept the results.
Musk pivoted to highlighting a voter ID ballot measure, though Wisconsin already requires ID. Critics see his reaction as echoing Trump-era denialism.
Despite GOP pressure, Schimel’s concession stood out for its rare break from MAGA conspiracy rhetoric.
Oh look, Conservatives sowing more doubt and mistrust because they can’t handle it when faced with how unpopular they are.
Quelle surprise.
Sowing like planting seeds not sewing like creating a garment
But now that I think about it they both kinda work… sewing the threads of lies.
You know, I looked at that and knew it looked wrong but brain couldn’t figure out why.
Thanks!
Instead of a seamstress, we’ve got a memestress.
Perhaps some leading election deniers are motivated by a psychological defense mechanism, but I think that many realize the strategic benefit. The members of the public who are convinced that Democrats steal elections will vote Republican. They’ll also be more willing to accept a Republican refusing to leave office after losing an election, if things come to that.

Ya know, Elon…
“I WASNT ABLE TO BUY THIS ELECTION DESPITE MY VAST WEALTH, SO OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE ELSE BOUGHT THIS ELECTION AND STOLE IT WITH THEIR VAST WEALTH, ITS THE ONLY CONCEIVABLE REASON WHY I COULD POSSIBLY LOSE!”
Musk boosted a post by Alex Jones featuring Roger Stone
It’s like a who’s who of absolutely garbage people.
How can this man walk freely on the street? He would get shanked in prison and those dudes have to make knives with toothbrushes and other garbage.
This idiot just walks around and no one shoots their shot.
Well, I mean he had an entire security detail deputized by the US Marshalls…so it’s not like he’s just walking out in the open. The guy surrounds himself with sycophants and other billionaires, it’s the only way to completely isolate yourself from reality.
I don’t think he’s really made an actual public appearance since being booed on stage at that chapel show, and that was by people going to see an unfunny transphobe.
He would be protected by the nazis in prison.
lol, how long before the prison Nazis get tired of his shit.
I want to know why anyone still uses that shitty Nazi site he bought.
Unfortunately, the art community is still big. No other platform has as much engagement with small time artists. I use it just for that. Sometimes Ill get curious and see political tweets. They’re almost always filled to the brim with comments spouting: hate, disinformation or deflection. You’ll see sane comments but the algorithm buries them. I’m sure most are bots but the nazi-ism is definitely boosted.
I’ve made accounts on bsky, pixelfed and cara and post there also. Unfortunately the masses haven’t moved to those yet so commissions and posts are sparse.
Twitter overtook deviant art?
Would be interesting if everyone still stuck using it consistently advertised a discount for finding them on any site besides Twitter. Might not make the biggest difference by itself but it could start a trickle that turns into the flood.
Basically a surcharge for users that only know Twitter or otherwise wouldn’t be bothered by the noise. Maybe call it a tarrif that can be easily avoided :)
Because it’s the site where you can follow and interact with the most people.
You spelled bots wrong homie.
Sure, there are bots. There are also a lot of real people, politicians, journalists, analysts, software engineers etc.
I actually tried to replace X a few weeks ago and considered Mastodon and Bluesky. Nobody I follow on X is on Mastodon, and only three are on Bluesky.
No one in their right mind should want to interact with the nazi-loving scum on that shit hole.
It’s almost as if there are many different people on that website.
And if they’re still on there they’re supporting a Nazi shit head. People need to migrate their communities. Stop being lazy. Stop being part of the problem. Get off the nazi website
I actually looked up the people I follow on X on other platforms such as Mastodon & Bluesky, I found 0 on Mastodon and 3 on Bluesky…
Who/what do you follow that is worth supporting the app? I have never used Twitter/x, I’m genuinely curious
A few examples include Drop Site, Aymeric Canon, Mary Kostakidis, Bruno Tertrais, Marco Botenga MEP, Régis Le Sommier, Dr Jimmy Mohamed, Ian Caroll, Rachel Blevins, Scott Ritter, Trita Parsi, Kenneth Roth, Dominique De Villepin…
Another way to look at it is like having to use Windows because that’s what they use at your job. There’s a problem but because most people are oblivious or don’t care, the momentum is difficult to escape. You may find it easy to say ‘quit you job then’ to fully show your disapproval but not everyone has that luxury.
I do hope everyone that is stuck using it mentions in every commission or interaction that they are available on different sites as well though.
Anyone still using it or of convenience though should quit immediately.
And its a shitty thing for each of them to use the website.
You’re entitled to your opinions.
YOU LITERALLY BOUGHT VOTES
He’s been able to get whatever he wants by throwing money at it his whole life, so when it doesn’t work he automatically cries foul.
Exactly like Trump.
…Which is why he thinks it’s rigged…
Everything is stolen when your a South African Nazi fascist who was unable to buy the vote they wanted.
Hey F’Elon; how about returning those billions of dollars you’ve stolen from the U.S. government (and many other governments) over the past decade.
Fuck you Elon 🖕
Your attempts to steal an election were subverted and now you’re complaining. Fucking GOLD.
You have to understand his perspective. He paid for it, so he thinks it’s his
He thinks it’s “stolen” because he also thought he had bought it and thus owned it.
Musk = POS Nazi.
I guess maybe? Since technically, he did buy it, right? But this is sort of like calling the cops because someone stole your heroin, isn’t it??
At this point, I don’t see how we can ever trust conservative again. They kept showing they won’t play by any rules, they are willing to lie, cheat and manipulate to get what they want. The left needs to radicalize his actions, you cannot negotiate with cheaters.
JFC, Conservatives have NEVER played by the rules others made. The central tenet of Conservative is that there is an in group (Conservatives) which the law protects but does not bind and an out group which the law binds but does not protect.
You’re only realizing this now?
