Elon Musk says he has “done enough” to help MAGA Republicans win elections, signaling a shift in his kingmaker role as Donald 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.

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

    I call Bullshit.

    While Elonazi has gained much in contracts/income from the current “government”, in the process, the rankings of his various “businesses” has tanked.

    Reality is: He’ll take some time off, focus on attempting to restore any good will possible for his businesses, then be right back in the political fray shortly before the midterms.

    Problem with that plan is he’s in no position to regain any so-called “good will” as the Nazi bastard has quite publicly and blatantly revealed much too much about who he actually is.

    Fuck. Elonazi.

      Bullshit indeed. His assets should be seized, distributed to the poor, and he should suffer the fate of all the Nazis before him.

      Pretty sure Elon and Kanye are on the same path. So Elon will take some time off and then suddenly have another manic episode and repeat everything 2x worse than the last time.

      This is why he won’t be back I think. Maybe shadow or dark money wise sure, but in the public eye? He can’t lose his billions, it’s all he has.
