While the Republican Party is busy covering the racism angle, Elon Musk is, in his @America account, making sure the misogynists know to vote for the convicted rapist.
It’s part of a misleading and suggestive ad.
Warning: This ad contains multiple instances of the ‘C Word.’ Viewer discretion is advised. Kamala Harris is a ‘C word.’ You heard that right. A big ole ‘C word.’ In fact, all of the other ‘C words’ think she’s the biggest ‘C word’ of them all. That’s right. She’s a tax-hiking, regulation-loving, gun-grabbing communist. And the worst part? She’s proud of it. Kamala Harris: the ‘C word America simply can’t afford. See you nationwide Tuesday, November 5th.
It ultimately reveals that the “C word” it is talking about isn’t the usual misogynistic slur (but you know you’re supposed to think it). She’s a communist. What stupid nonsense — I know communists, and I have to tell you, Elon, Kamala Harris is no communist.
The ad might be more persuasive if it used the correct “C word”: Kamala Harris is a capitalist, and yes, she is proud of it.
Only one week until the election, and a few months of bickering, lying, and phony lawsuits until we can possibly get down to the business of grabbing guns and imposing regulations, not that I think that will actually happen if the Democrats win.

Whereas Musk is the ‘C’ work we were all thinking about?

The more I see of Elon Musk, the less I like him.
Out of the 8 billion people on the earth, he is near the bottom of my list.
I will never buy anything even remotely associated with Elon Musk. No Tesla cars, no Starlink internet, no X account, no SpaceX launches.
Most people who have dealt with Elon Musk have ended up regretting it. Including the US government and his own oldest daughter.
Akira MacKenzie says
Sadly this will work on too-many Americans, who have been raised to think that even the most meager taxes or justified regulation on business is just one step down the slippery slope to Stalinism.
Today, clean air requirements. Tomorrow, THE HOLODOMOR!

What about Trump ‘cretin’? It supposedly derives from Christian

@1: Nope. Leon is not. He lacks depth and warmth.
Kamala, on the other hand…
doubter says
Here’s my conspiracy theory: Elon has done something really, really awful that hasn’t come out yet. His only hope to avoid life in prison is a Presidential pardon. Therefore, he’s going all in to get a victory for Trump.
Could his behaviour be explained by the fact he’s an asshole? Sure. But I prefer my conspiracy theory.
StevoR says
Yeah, that’s pretty fucking blatant misogny

Not. Exactlky. Subtle.

Meanwhile, Trump is the ‘N’ word.
Yes, I mean narcissist.

If there was actually a presidential candidate–or any other candidate–on the ballot who approximated a communist, I’d be more likely to vote for them, not less. Not that there is, but just saying. My paternal grandfather was a genuine communist and the most beloved labor organizer/leader in Utah in the 1930s. He refused a bribe from a gubernatorial candidate, told him “I wouldn’t support you if you were the last man in Utah”, campaigned against that sleazebag, and was credited with his defeat. Even the candidate admitted that he lost “because of that damned Bill Leonard.” As far as I can tell, there’s nobody running for any elected office today in this country who has the integrity of my grandfather. They’re all on some rich sleazy payroll somewhere. And, no, they are not getting my vote, because they haven’t earned it.

@8. Reginald Selkirk : To, I’m sure no one here’s surprise, I gather Trump uses* the other actual N-word..
See :

Okay, the source could be better but in thiscase I don’t really doubt her. Do you?
.* Yeah, see above & very much doubt he’s stopped doing so..
Raging Bee says
Who’s this “America” account? Some pretentious twit who doesn’t have the guts to post under their own name because they know how obviously full of shit they are?

You don’t have to take Omarosa’s word for it, Trump’s own nephew said in an interview that he personally heard Trump use the word multiple times.

The elongated muskrat has shown that he actually is a toxic invertebrate. He started his first company in the u.s. illegally, without an immigrant work permit. He has NEVER invented anything. He has never done an honest day’s work. Our organization will diligently avoid all his crap. He is blatantly trying to buy votes in violation of law and does it with impunity.
Welcome to the NEW DARK AGES
mordred says
Musk the f-word wouldn’t recognise c-word if it bit him in the a-word.
KG says
I fear Harris really is an example of that awful C-word: a centrist.
tallora says
These bastards know exactly what they’re doing, and honestly? I’m very scared it will work. This isn’t 2016 but misogyny is still rampant.
Tethys says
I would also happily elect an actual communist, and am actually descended from German communists who had to flee the Russian empire just before the revolution.
I can think of many other C words that describe the lumpen schmuck.
Conspirator
Chauvinist
Corrupt
Criminal
Cheater
Callous
Calculating
Clueless
sChit-for-brains
Conniving
Crass
Creepy as fuck.
I seriously think the Government should confiscate his businesses due to his fraudulent dealings, and deport his pasty hateful self to Russia, so he can kiss Putins ass in person.
drew says
Today I saw a snarling campaign ad.
It told me that there are people who want to close prisons. Yes. We’re the prison capital of the world.
It told me that there are people who want to get rid of police. Yes! We have too many of them as opposed to social services staff. And they’re all armed.
It told me that there are radical leftists running for office. Yes, yes, yes!!! I’m that, too!
But then it told me that those radical leftists were . . . Democrats. What a letdown. I almost had something to vote for.
KG says
No, you’re not. You may think you are, but all you actually are is a useful idiot for fascists.
robro says
doubter @ 6 — “Here’s my conspiracy theory: Elon has done something really, really awful that hasn’t come out yet.” Well, it’s not really awful…his treatment of his daughter is really, really awful but not prosecutable…but BeZo (aka WaPo) reported this morning that Elon worked illegally when he first immigrated to the US. Not exactly life sentence material, but perhaps he would get sent back to South Africa. Of course, he denies it, just as any criminal would.
doubter says
@robro #20: He could probably buy his way out of that. My head canon is that he’s done something Epstein-like and is depending on The Donald to bail him out of it.

Pretty sure it’s straight-out transactional:

@ #11 – the America account is Elon Musk’s shady PAC. He stole that handle from a user who had it since 2010.
brightmoon says
My late cousin was a communist She was actually invited by the USSR when they first opened their borders to tourism in the 70s. . Kamala nah! This rant by Elon is extremely misleading . And calling her the other C word doesn’t work either as she seems to be a thoughtful speaker
