    With the current political climate USA is in, it might weaken him to get endorsements from the establishment.

    Their masks are coming off. Voting in line with republicans and being vocal against anything progressive.

      I was thinking the other day after NPR mentioned Elon’s recent spat that he could fund other candidates in mid terms. If he endorsed Democrats that might do more harm than good lol.

        For sure. I would immediately be sceptical of any candidate, even progressives, if Elon endorsed them.

        We’d end up with another Fetterman.

          I’m not any fan of Clinton, but a single off brand kkk member who claimed to be the highest of said off brand changed from trump to Clinton because she seemed more coherent, does not sound like a kkk endorsement to me.

            If even a single kkk member (“off brand” or otherwise) approved of me, I would have to take a long look at my life and recent actions to see where it all went wrong.

            In fact I remember the KKK being the first organization’s to endorse Trump. I remember this because the second was Yueng Ling which I refuse to drink even though I love cheap lagers. This was early on, so not the common blanket endorsement of the party’s nominee, but genuinely working to sway the primaries when it wasn’t yet clear he’d win even the republican primary.
