Summary

Laura Loomer criticized Elon Musk’s influence on Trump during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room, accusing Musk and other tech leaders of being “welfare queens” reliant on government subsidies while seeking control over national defense.

Loomer also alleged Musk held secret meetings with Iranian and Chinese officials, raising national security concerns.

Her remarks align with growing criticism from MAGA loyalists, including Bannon, who warn of Musk’s outsized role during Trump’s transition.

      Had me going for a bit, the thought that anyone could get anywhere with conservatives through merit.

      She very, very likely sucked Trump’s dick.

      So what if she did?

      Edit: No really. Like who cares? Does the fact reflect on her despicability or is she despicable all on her own?

          Seriously? Did you not read anything else?

          WTF. You think it’s “sexual favors” if it’s a woman but… what exactly? if it’s a man?

          I’m making the point that her potentially sleeping with Trump is completely irrelevant to her being a garbage human and that it’s all kinds of misogynistic to imply that she only has his attention because of “sexual favors”.

          Geebus fuck.

            If some man is sucking Trump’s dick and gets to be in his orbit as an “advisor” and considered for political appointments, than yes that would be a sexual favor.

              No shit. But do you automatically assume that or do you merely speak figuratively when saying that about men?

          It does reflect on her despicability

          Really? That she, a woman, may have had sex with someone?

          She’s despicable for a hundred reasons. Using the tired old trope of “loose woman” is not one of them.

            That she, a woman may have had sex with someone.

            Finish the rest of the statement, “to exert influence” and you can see why people have a problem with it.

              Because she’s a woman. If she were a man they’d call it “exerting dominance” and clap.

                Wait, do you think nobody has ever said anything about Elon sucking Trumps dick or vice versa?

                  Of course. But there is a significant difference. Unfortunately, this being the interwebs all nuance is gonna get lost and I doubt very much this point will come across adequately. I’ll try anyway.

                  When saying such things you are not saying either party is a horrible human because they are sucking dick but because they are being subservient and/or self-serving. You are not actually referencing the sexuality of the situation as negative in itself. Whereas people here literally are saying Looner is bad because she had an affair.

                  IOW: women being sexual is inherently bad. Men being sexual is never inherently bad.

                    Looner is bad because she had an affair.

                    Nobody is saying that though, she’s bad because she’s a propagandist and white nationalist. Sucking dick is probably the most relatable thing about her.
