    Not as familiar with that one. But he didn’t explicitly say he sent him up there to rig the machines in his favor. Just that he knows the systems and was there. The meaning is left ambiguous. One could make a not-crazy argument that he meant Elon was keeping the machines from getting hacked.

    To be clear, Trump is a piece of shit, he lost 2020, and I feel dirty speaking up for him. But here’s the thing: if there was fraud, it needs to be settled in court. That was the case in 2020 when virtually every court ruling was against Trump, and it’s the case now when nobody has even bothered to bring it up (it’s not like there isn’t any overlap between “people who know what he said” and “people who would bring on a suit”). If we’re going to make these claims, they need to be damn solid - otherwise it just makes us look bad when there are PLENTY of solid things about Trump’s piece-of-shitness we could be bringing up instead.
