Elections

On her Wednesday Talk Your Head Off YouTube show, actress and comedian Kathy Griffin continued the trend of liberal celebrities and talking heads trying to make election denial great again because, according to her, Elon Musk’s support for Donald Trump contained an illegal scheme to bribe voters.

Griffin started with her attacks on Musk, “I’m gonna say something that’s gonna get me in trouble. I don’t think he won in a free and fair election. You heard me. I’m coming out and saying it myself. I don’t care if that means I look crazy because Elon Musk, who’s this other Nazi guy running around town who owns X, and a lot of people think he’s a genius, but he’s not, he’s like a fake genius.”

As for the alleged funny business, Griffin continued, “Anyway, he’s a, but he’s a professional Nazi in my humble opinion, and he’s good friends with Trump, and at one point, I don’t know if you remember, but he was giving out million dollar checks to people if they would vote for Trump. That’s illegal. It’s unconstitutional and illegal, so that was happening, and the fact that Trump won all seven swing states, which has never happened in the history of the U.S., makes it all very suspicious to me.”

Fact-check: Musk never offered $1 million to people to vote for Trump. What he did was offer $1 million per day in a lottery-like system for people in swing states who signed a petition for his PAC that affirmed support for free speech and gun rights. That PAC is currently being sued by people who signed and allege that the random lottery was not actually random.

Elon Musk did not pay people to vote for Trump. Theoretically, a swing-state liberal could’ve signed his petition hoping to win $1 million, turned around, and voted for Kamala Harris (who Griffin earlier hailed as “the shit”). Donald Trump won in 2024, fair and square. Perhaps liberals should spend more time in self-reflection than trying to cope with various conspiracy theories as to why.

Here is a transcript for the October 15 show:
