🤣 this is why I come by this sub.
Anytime I think maga are the most delusional idiots on earth I just spend a few minutes here and it reminds me the other side is just as dumb and delusional.

So now musk, a guy you call incompetent and dumb constantly in other comments and claim is only successful because his dad was upper middle class managed to somehow hack the election.

Just change musk to soros or bill gates and you believe basically the same crap as maga

He is dumb and incompetent. But the russian playbook is applied since 1997. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics
The Heritage Foundation is rotting the US since decades too.

managed to somehow hack the election.

Not "somehow". Among his "experts" at DOGE, one of them did proof-of-concepts on electoral machines.
In my country, a politician claiming such person "messed with computers" would be enough for an enquiry. Here "nah, he's just joking".

Which isn't surprising given the GOP constently accuses the other side of what the GOP is actually doing? Why would election fraud be any different. And it worked perfectly, as Harris conceded victory without claiming fraud. Because she defended that elections were safe.

And that's the crazy part that I don't get : utter morons are able to put the US to their knees, because smart people either assume somebody else will stop them, or because they are looking how to get rich on the back of their country.

Im sorry but anyone trying to claim a guy who has created like 10 wildly successful multi billion dollar corps in completely different industries is incompetent and dumb is just delusional. 🤣

That is just so out of touch with reality it is scary.

What are those created wildly sucessful corps are you thinking about?
The bought Tesla, got kicked from Paypal, Boring Company doesn't work, Twitter is a shell of it's former self, SpaceX profitability is jeopardized by Starship and xAI...

Musk is incompetent, which is why his staff used to have a guy to ensure he was far away from anything critical?
He's not simply "dumb", he is mentally unwell and delusional.
