He lost ad dollars from top US corporates, because he refused to censor a wide spectrum of speech, this is common knowledge if you follow business news, please don't embarrass yourself with posting nonsense.

>All he cares about is making money
>He didn't even care about making money when buying a 44BN company

Chose one, both can't be true.

Sure lets say this is correct. He ends up losing hundreds of millions in ad dollars. I thought it was all about making as much money as possible?

So the guy had a crystal ball and knew he was going to make money in the long term but losing money in the short term by not censoring right wing posting? Lol, some big brain logic you're using my man.

He bet on it, just like over a billion dollar in PAC money from corporate donors bet on Kamala. Another fun fact Kamala raised ~1BN compared to ~400MM Trump campaign

Big tech has continually bet and funded Democrats in POTUS elections. This election is no different. You're highlighting one guy as this huge brain crystal ball wielding person that impacted the election, what are your thoughts on Google, Apple, MSFT, FB and the dozens of other big tech companies that contribute to democrats usually by a margin of 10:1 when it comes to elections since you care so much about lobbying?

youre right to a big degree. the difference is, how many of those big tech CEO's have been appointed as cabinet members? they certainly have influence on and fork out a shitload of money to influence elections but the generally dont hold positions themselves. Elon is so big hes essentially his own lobbyist. and look! it worked!
you see what Im getting at?

No.

What are you getting at?

Are you saying the left was too stupid to give someone a cabinet position?
What Trump has done isn't illegal.
