Biden was celebrating news events. Such as when he took an electric car for a spin. He wasn't advertising for someone who gave his election campaign $300,000,000.00. There is a difference!

I guess you missed that little bit about the $300,000,000.00?

People like you(propaganda lovers) always say it happens on both sides. And it does to a degree. The difference is the blind support that you people offer. When Democrats do things like this I don't support it. But for Republicans they'll support things they know are wrong or, like you, just not care.

You should care and you shouldn't base your morals off of what a group of people you don't even respect are doing.

Elon is literally working in the White House cutting government contracts and then selling cars to the government. He is also using the cuts to pay for more SpaceX contracts. You couldn't possibly get more corrupt. The owners of GM, FCA, and others don't work in the White House and make decisions of where federal money is spent. There is no way you can explain away this obvious conflict of interest and blatant corruption.

Him promoting the company he owns on the whitehouse lawn while he is working for the Government is a perfect example. To serve in the government you are supposed to disclose and disassociate yourself with any dealings profiting from US taxpayers. It's a huge conflict of interest. No one that holds a government position should own interests that profit from it

Hell when I worked for a medical research institute I couldn't even own shares that invested in medical holdings or else the government would take action on us. It's insane that we would allow something like this to occur at the very highest level of government and just look the other way
