Elon Musk says Biden only won the 2020 US election because people 'wanted less drama'

Billionaire Elon Musk said on Thursday that Joe Biden was elected as US President in 2020 because people "wanted less drama" after Donald Trump.

"Biden's mistake is that he thinks he was elected to transform the country, but actually everyone just wanted less drama," Musk tweeted.

Musk didn't clarify what he meant by "drama," but Trump's presidency between 2017 and 2021 involved being impeached in the House of Representatives, provoking an attempted coup at the US Capitol in January, and disseminating disinformation which led him to be removed from Twitter.

Yeah we wanted “less drama.”

Also translated to “less insanity”

Or “competent government.”

Less crazy.
Sanity.
Honesty.
Less gritting.
Less nepotism.


I could go on.

That's what's going on in Twitter's boardroom today. They were dopes to fall for Musk's offer. Major asscovering ahead. Bet they're wishing for a lot less drama.

I believe he will say anything to be today's headline, one of the perks of being the richest man in the world I suppose. What a total bore.

He could openly refuse to pay his taxes instead of finagle all sorts of phony deductions, and do a perp walk in front of the media. That'd get him lots of attention!

He wants the rich to continue to make out like bandits. Inequality was less in the middle of the 20th century, and the rich did just fine.
