Not a fan of Hasan Piker but he's a guy who streams monologues to a small audience. Elon spends hundreds of millions of dollars trying to get Republicans elected and was for weeks the second most powerful member of the federal government, but oddly Republicans are rarely grilled about his views
Maybe some of those "why are you campaigning with an antisemite?" questions could go to Republicans backed by a Sieg Heiling white nationalist.
The silence is especially deafening because Musk's involvement helped Republicans lose in WI in 2025, so the press even has its preferred horserace frame.

Note on pieces like these, not only is there no suggestion that Republicans should distance themselves from him, there's no hint that there's a reason to. No recap of his CSAM machine. No inflammatory racist quotes. No mention of the DOGE death toll. No history of his fabulist quotes.

“And then there is the cost of normalizing troops on our streets when there is no emergency and no clear mission to justify their presence; The routine presence of troops in civilian life is a feature of authoritarian governments. It should not become normal here.”👇🏼

A year ago, Trump deployed the National Guard to Washington to fight crime. Thousands of troops are still there. It is anti-American. And a total waste.

The National Guard’s Defiant Yawn
President Trump deployed thousands of National Guard troops to Washington. A year later, they've barely made an impact and still don’t have a clear mission.

The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million.
That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.

It's just insane that the president tells absurd, easily disproven lies on a daily basis, and at this point we all just expect it.
Trump: "At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body."

When supine senators confirm your corrupt personal attorney to be AG you get immunity from being a tax cheat and money launderer.
FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche.
The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
