Elon Musk has signaled to President Trump’s advisers in recent days that he wants to put $100 million into groups controlled by the Trump political operation, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

Trump has never had a driver's license. He doesn't know how to drive. Stick shift? Haha. No way. No how.
That’s a small price to pay for control of the U.S. presidency.
He wants star link to run the FAA and wants to go to the moon where no one will complain about the price of eggs
American politics is crazy - It never ends and spend absolute fortunes Canada cannot allow this to occur
This is not government for the people, by the people.
“Stop the steal” (unless it’s Musk buying his way). America is now a global laughing stock.
Is he going to contribute the amount in Teslas based on MSRP? So basically only $30 mill?
They don't even try to hide the bribery...
That White House commercial was more expensive than the Super Bowl.
That sounds very suspicious. Is he trying to hide his money before he loses it all?
$100M to him is like $10 to the rest of us. But not for long. Tesla is going to (gas) tank because he’s the face of Tesla. And because their video display is just an iPad.
Is this a pay to play scam?
Musk needs a huge dose of humility, fiscal humility.
Crooks
Buying favour. I can only imagine if this was Mark Cuban and Biden. The holy hell crying and screaming would be nationwide
youtu.be/7xkgoRkC3pc?...
Is this some equivalent to Musk and Trump corruption?
How much does Russia pay you?
Interesting. Any CAD connection info?
You should ask him if this is true. He’s on BlueSky
Have 3k page file on the scam artist - #markcuban 👺
How big is the file on Elon? Must be 20k pages?
Well that saddens me, thought he was better than that for some reason. I’d like to see something that you can share with me about one of his scams. You can send as a DM if you would like
The fact he has a 3k file on him and nothing on Musk tells me he has an agenda
Have files on everyone running for ‘28 🇺🇸
Musk is a defacto president, show us the goods
Waste of money.

Please, by all that is holy, get these two grifters out of the White House.
Musk playing his trump card. Thanks Supreme Court.
Aren't there restrictions on donations?
Elon topping trump.
It’s amazing how weak trump looks in that picture. Sloped shoulders, dumpy suit, sour expression. Insight into his soul I think
ARE WE SURE THAT TRUMP IS NOT ELON'S BIOLOGICAL FATHER? THEY LOOK A LIKE, SOUND A LIKE AND SURE AS HELL ACT A LIKE, YOU KNOW, DUMB AND DUMBER.🙃🤑
Chee t'anks
I bet sales will go down even more. They forget the Rump’s followers are not very wealthy.
Keep tanking Tesla and affecting the bottom line. Perhaps, if we're so lucky, you'll become Trump Steaks, Elon.
Musk is a smart investor; that bribe will pay dividends many times over.
Just blatant corruption
Guess the 300+ trump accounts the banks took over, to investigate money laundering, the debts are being paid off by Musk?
US transforming, but to ruSSia
Donald Trump cannot run for a third term and he will be 82 for the 2028 election. This is pure corruption. Thanks, Supreme Court for Citizens United decision.
he is an attention whore
Is this even legal? Buying Trump again.

What do we do with these two people if and when we get our country back? What should be their punishment for the pain and deaths they are causing other people?
Semaphore?
Citizens United…congratulations SCOTUS, you destroyed a democracy. @scotus-blog.bsky.social
Got it Lay-away-plan President
HEY TRUMP! let's focus on greasing the golden gears of MUSK, the richest man on Earth! The others, the ones who live here and might want, I don’t know, eggs? They can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps while we ensure the wealthy don't suffer any loss. Priorities, people. Priorities.
The White House now into Car Sales. When was the last time you could trust a Car Salesman?
Grifters grift until nothings left. D is gonna bleed out E
WTF IS THIS? EVIL 😈 SONOFABITCH
Government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich. Lincoln has been replaced by Musk. Ethics have been replaced by dollar signs. Sorry
Tough to fire someone who owns you
Musk is paying to play
Wasn't it just a few years ago Musk was saying Trump should 'sail into the sunset'? That's likely the best plan for this old codger who sounds like a babbling idiot every time he opens his mouth. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
It must be nice to be a foreign born billionaire and able to openly purchase a US president.
Musk and Trump are corrupt.
Many people would like to slap that hat off Elon’s head. He looks like a teenage delinquent.
He who buys a Tesla helps Elon buy a president. Don’t help Elon.
We have reached the logical conclusion of Citizens United. A completely purchased federal government that kneels enthralled to billionaires.
God, could it be any more obvious that he’s the pimp daddy for Donald Trump? He just loves being a puppet for a tough guy. He really loves it Putin Musk he loves guys with foreign accents!
We’re never gonna dig this tick out.
But why would he do this? He's so rich, he doesn't need increased power and influence. Rich people are famously never involved in corruption. And that's science.
Given his global meddling I’ve come to believe he wants to be emperor of the world.
Corruption, corruption, corruption… dear Lord please shine the light of thine truth on this corruption & bring the light of truth to the MANY HALLWAYS OF DECEPTION 💚
Yep ! Definitely need Jesus
Thanks so much @nytimes.com for all the warnings about electing a felon. Oh wait....
He is buying the country really, really cheap!
Mean's nothing to the Muskrat. $100 million to him is like $10 to the median income American. He can make $100 million in a day, selling four hundred Model Y Teslas. Pocket change.
@whitehouse.senate.gov
Keep an eye on SCOTUS account balances if “groups being controlled by the trump political operation” is the descriptive..
We have to legislate this out. Otherwise our democracy is a shame and shameful
Needs to pay him back for those contracts he took from Verizon.
Where is Mario? Elon needs three to the head. #DenyDefendDepose #luigi
Interesting timing on Musk's part, just days after Trump seemed to side w the Cabinet over him. Only confirms my belief that his earlier mammoth campaign donation bought him access to the Fed agencies - and to his and T's #co-bro-presidency.
Then he can’t work for the government, can he?
Important vote today!! Who cares about swastakars??
Keep the #teslatakedown going people
if the press wants to end the trump/musk situation - it will infuriate trump to no end calling elon president musk.
Today, Trump sucked Musk's cock on national TV.
#RussianAsset #fascism
Want to do something to help flip the house? Volunteers are needed asap to phone bank prior to the Florida special election on April 1st. We can make a difference!! Please share this post. 💙 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP82hVSWd/ Visit nationalgroundgame.com for the game plan.
And so why does he need to broadcast that to everyone? What's the deal with that? Where did the money come from?
Next payments due
Buying the government one hundred million at a time. Democracy is dead….just awaiting the burial if we don’t resist
See, this is the problem with billionaires. You used to be able to emolument Trump with a million dollars, but now, thanks to you, he’s expecting $50 million dollars for each personalized, executive order. You fool!
Elon can turn his virtual "on paper" money into real $ when he wants to shape our country to his whim, but he can't pay any tax cause "the money's not real" 🥴
So the car came free.
The Mr and the Mrs- two sad old sagging empty nesters whose children hate them 😭
Trump Cares About Billionaires, Not You www.amazon.com/dp/B0F146YSNB
Oh hell no! Illegal, unlawful, and wrong in so many ways. You 2 pogues want to fantasize about another Russian oligarchy, fu.Emigrate to Putins corrupt chaos You keep cruisin for a bruisin real America is going to remove your problem. No power for crooks.
Musk's thinks everyone is for sale! Our democracy is not for sale!!
Trump is totally for sale.
He's buying the country, and you fucking helped him. You will get what you deserve.
this. is. bribery.
THE BUYING OF THE AMERICAN PRESIDENCY, Chapter 25. THE END OF DEMOCRACY IN THE UNITED STATES, Chapter 26.
Is this a violation of the Hatch Act ?
Nobody cares anymore
Two idiots.
Just blatant corruption right out in the open here
SCOTUS ruled that corruption has to be handing over a bag of money with the $ on it and asking for a favor in exchange.
That’s crazy!!!
Almost like it's a joke.
youtu.be/qHvqGMXWpLI?...
Jon Stewart covered the older ruling many times and still does. I couldn’t find a video of it, but he still expresses anger in his podcast.
On camera with witnesses and someone saying the word bribe out loud. They'll be fine with this.
Justice Thomas isn’t so sure. He wants to know the bill count and serial numbers for each.
Or getting caught with gold bars..
It is illegal to advertise on Federal property. What are we going to do about this buffoon????
It's a make work operation for incels.
As the american people, that would be YOUR tax money payed by YOUR wages. Do you want your taxes to finance infrastructure, schools and healthcare? Or do you want your taxes to finance Trumps private interests?
Also don’t want them funding the genocide in Gaza. Biden and most Democrats failed on that one big time.
Buying himself a presidency and a country. We will not stop protesting.
this is going to go really well with regard to his other primary pursuit of saving Tesla from being the greatest rise-and-fall failure in automotive history - keep going Elmo - keep thinking you can win this video game when Hudson has been saying "Game Over" for weeks now
Ah, Donnie. You shouldn't have put her in charge. but you put her in charge And you're mostly fucked. Mostly.
Do these two ever change their clothes! Trump always in the same ugly suit and that stupid fucking red tie and the other creep in the same black shirt and hat 🤮🤢🥴
This is illegal
Does he ever quit? My headache just freaking exploded like a musk rocket!
Thank you John Roberts Court. May they rot in Hell for what they’ve done to this country.
He cost $100 million so Trump can do a car commercial for him.
Rather than be appalled over the blatant disrespect for laws prohibiting commercials on federal property, MAGA is feeling sorry for Musk & making an effort to bolster his business today. MAGA is enamored with everything & anything DJT does, lawfulness not necessary. #StopFOX
I think it's time that #Trump does a new “Person, woman, man, camera, TV,” #dementia test...
Loser…as the carnival barker would say
I guess we are at the point where open bribery only warrants a shoulder shrug.
Talk about waste fraud and abuse. That's $100 Million laundered through Musk enterprises that were funded by US taxpayers to benefit Trump and Musk. See how that works?
HOW IS THIS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN????? I don’t recognize our country anymore. I don’t even know if I have rights anymore.the law only applies to non- Trump voters
Nothing like Billionaires selling $100,000 cars on Federal Property to inspire people…. and how is this bringing down the price of eggs!!!!! Gives bad name to used car salesmen!
What a genius!
First major indicator of massive corruption was firing the IGs with no notice or reasons given their first week
This is called buying the USA. WHAT A DEAL! He paid $44 billion for twitter and got the US for not even half a billion. Shameful
With Musk contribution to Trump, Musk will reap in billions at the expense of 🇺🇸. Every other distributor offered Melania Trump $5 million for her story. Then comes along Bezo who offers 40 million for her story. Indirect bribing.
Musk's monthly bribe payment plan. He'll want a good ROI using money from our pockets. How can it be legal for a government worker to payoff the President that hired him?
If he’s putting $100m ‘IN’, he plans on taking much more OUT.
Elon will be buying every election thru PACs he creates.
Yup. Until we cut out the PAC crap from politics in the US.
We can SCOTUS and their Citizen’s United decision for the huge $$$ the wealthy now dump into all levels of politics to buy what they want.
Exactly. Gotta fix that.
$100M? Was Elon starting to feel a cold shoulder? Or hints of “you need to go”?
I'm sure today's White House Tesla ad was just a coincidence. Fun fact (apropos of nothing) Jimmy Carter, before taking office, sold his family's peanut farm to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
Brought to you by the Russian School of Corrupt Oligarchy
Bought and paid for
Politicians will grovel and genuflect for this cash-sell us all out in a flash. $100M here and there-even 20 times over is chicken feed compared to what E-Dog has lost in the last couple weeks.
So before Rep. backpressure against Trump may rise, he throws in some more money to Trump. So that Trump owes him more. Musk is apparently desparate to loose his connection to government where he can rule without control over gov. funding. Cut off, SpaceX will tank as well. Corruption in the open.
Major Automaker: "Telsa has benefited more from taxpayer money than any other car maker by far. Now the White House is marketing Tesla's vehicles. What's next?" Simple. #musk plans to give #trump's political operation $100 million.
Bought the presidency, bought the administration - you're no longer a democracy, you're North Korea
I guess he feels like $250M didn’t buy him enough power…
Just look at these two feckless clowns with way more $$$$ than they will ever need.

The PRESIDENT of the United States.....doing an infomercial. Which is actually illegal. Inducement or Coercion of Benefits - 5 C.F.R. § 2635.702(a)
SCOTUS gave him immunity. He has Immunity and Pardon Power.
What does illegal have to do with it. The US had no problem putting a felon on a presidential ballot. America the Unbelievable.
Quid Pro Quo. Again.
100 million is a substantial amount of cash, as is the initial 250+ he put into the election. Is he really that liquid? Thought his wealth was tied to his stocks; is he taking out loans?
Corrupt as fuck. That’s the motto of this disgusting administration.
#BoycottTesla
Bribes are bribes. They don't even bother to hide them. That's how little they respect us. An open-air corruption market...
Does Elon come under the Hatch Act? Heʻs now a "special government employee" .... @crew.bsky.social
THIS. IS. WRONG. These idiots.
It’s his final legal term, why does he need a political operation?
But this isn't bribery, right?
Maybe it’s just me but I would not give money to someone who set me up to be a scapegoat.
look at trump's posture and expression this is an old man who is running from the law by cosplaying as a president with the real man in charge next to him he's an empty shell he lost in life yet got the one job where merit, apparently, didn't matter
Probably from the us taxpayers
Boycott tesla
Thank you, Roberts Supreme Court. The CITIZEN's UNITED CASE is doing EXACTLY what people predicted it would: accelerate the CORRUPTION of our government by giving corrupt billionaires more power. May you rot in hell.
He will put up for the biggest bidder some dumbfk would buy 🤮
bsky.app/profile/jima...
unscramble lone skum
Not surprised by anything anymore. Corruption Heyday.
I see he's back in a T-shirt. The suit lasted one meeting
scump, easily purchased, easily sold...
Put $100,000,000 towards working class medical bills, past due rent, student loans, etc. and you'd be a hero to millions of people that would fall in love with you and adore you. But these people are capital-E Evil, they're billionaire bottomfeeders addicted to causing suffering
And there is is. That’s what’s behind all of this. That’s the tip of the iceberg.
I’m starting to wonder who is the VP?!?!? Is it Elon?!?! We see more of him while the real VP is out skiing.
That was reasonably foreseeable as another payoff, just in case the Prez was thinking about dumping Elon for his “low ratings”— a trumpian “unpardonable sin.”
How is this ethical or even legal?
Another bride to Trumpolini. I guess the 300M wasn't enough of a bride? Musk should go to Mars cus his ass is already up Uranus
Someone's scared
The #USA is a great bargain! On offer for $250M and you get a tacky car salesman for free!
This is the sane government that accuses Mexico’s Gov. of being controlled by cartels. What exactly do we call this Musk is doing?
and also Canada
If he’s so worried about fentanyl then why did his boss pardon convicted drug dealer and money launderer Ross Ulbricht whose online business was linked to six overdose deaths? And what exactly are they doing to help those that suffer from addiction in the U.S.? We have yet to hear anything on that.
Exactly!
And the grift goes on.
😡😡😡😡😡
Bribery gets to the heat of the matter more efficiently. Also applies to this news story's framing.
The body language in the photo is amazing
South African pedophile ketamine addict illegal immigrant is going to get fckd.
You mean a bribe? The #MAGA propaganda paper, @nytimes.com, selling us their softball version of Trump’s cesspool.
Have we had enough?
But they have an issue with ActBlue. Smh
No president has ever used the White House to sell cars THIS IS ILLEGAL ‼️‼️‼️
Complicit shitbags. Go suck each other off in the break room. You lost all credibility before the election. Now I wouldn’t even wipe my ass with your shitrag journalism. Follow me for more helpful tips. Fuckheads.
DOGE Coin operated Presidency. How Cheap. It’s like the store brand version of a K-Mart kackistocracy.
Nothing quite beats buying political power does it?
End of democracy!
Joke's on Trump--Musk's paying them with Tesla stock.
No
Bet Trump wants Musk to buy Truth Social for billions. Musk will then combine it with X/Twitter.
Just give 🍊 the money direct deposit. He’s accepting payments.
Awesome more lies and propaganda!
Quid pro quo for Trump's Tesla infomercial in front of the White House yesterday. Trump can be and is bought all the time in various ways by billionaires and high-figure millionaires. He's doing favors for money. We have to face this reality so that we can fix it: we're living in a plutocracy. 💰
Just right out in the open. Don’t even try to hide it anymore. 🙄
