    I feel like Trump is kinda the type of guy who would say shit just to stir the pot. Plus, fascist love for the public to think they are more competent than they really are, especially if it makes them seem like they are the underdog pulling one over on the establishment. Same thing works for musk.

      This, they will always say they are going to win even if they’re not, they will always say they’ve won even if they haven’t.

      See: Musk v. Zuckerberg. Musk acts like he won even though he’s a pudgy fat shit and never even stepped into the ring with Zuckerberg. It’s projection of power, and people are giving them power by believing it.

      Musk and Trump would have said they were winning no matter what. They would have said they won no matter what. If they lost they would say the “mainstream media” lied.
