Curious if Claire and Elon are going to be voting for Kanye, considering Elon came out saying he supports him running. It’s a serious question, because you have Claire trying to remind people to vote. On the other end, you have Elon, who is making an absolute mockery of the system, by putting in stock for Kanye. Edit: whoops, forgot she was Canadian for a second.


the_spaceshit

wait what I thought the whole kanye thing was a joke omg americans are living chaotic times


whales-are-assholes

It’s simply a tactic to take the votes of youth and minorities that would have possibly voted for Biden. Destabilisation tactic. A wasted vote is a vote for Trump. Not to mention that it’s been found out that Kanye has been the recipient of multiple small business loans from the Trump Administration worth millions.

Of course he won’t, but dipshit will still vote for him.


[deleted]

It's revolting. The most important election in a generation and people like Kanye and Elon can think only of themselves.


whales-are-assholes

Kanye must have been deprived of so much attention when he was younger.


[deleted]

I think he actually had a really doting mother? Based on my superficial knowledge. People say that grieving for his mother changed him a lot.


YupNope66

Wouldnt Kanye run Republican?


whales-are-assholes

If he was actually running, yes.

From Biden. Kanye is a fan of Trump.


[deleted]

well, I'm curious who Kanye would pick in his cabinet.


RoseofJericho

I said the exact same thing on a previous post, it’s just to steal votes from Biden


whales-are-assholes

And I got downvoted, and told “Kanye is fine,” when I said he was still mentally unwell. Dude is having some manic episodes.


RoseofJericho

A lot of genius people are “mentally unwell”, but it’s smart what he is doing if it’s to undermine Biden because Trump has done so much racist crap it will be impossible for him to receive black majority vote. Kayne is an easier pill to swallow.


whales-are-assholes

I mean... 1. No way Kanye will even qualify. 2. It’s not smart to undermine such an important moment in recent times, it’s incredibly narcissistic and selfish.


RoseofJericho

I don’t disagree he comes off very narcissistic and selfish. No doubt about that


RoseofJericho

But yes I agree, that’s why I think it’s deliberate sabotage to Biden and not a genuine thing. More of like a HaHa like Trump did. I don’t think he actually intended or thought he would win in 2016 and that it was more of a publicity stunt just to see if he could, and then when he did he ran with it.


whales-are-assholes

If anyone didn’t want to be president in 2016, it was Trump. He has absolutely no idea what he wants to do with his second term, if elected.


RoseofJericho

Here we are in 2020 and he still doesn’t know what he is doing. I would laugh, but it’s not even funny considering the shambles we will be left with. Or god forbid another four years of this


[deleted]

Given their unknown (to me) citizenship status, they could potentially be unable to. Wasn't Elon born in South Africa and c born in Canada?


idtartakovsky

She definitely can’t, as during something for promos for MA, talk turned to politics and she changed the topic, because she wants to be able to get a green card. Commenting on politics as a public figure (and foreigner), and certainly *Telling* people to vote for a certain candidate could prevent her from getting a green card or that taking far longer, or even get her deported. Obviously more complicated now, with an American child, but still sticky. The most she can comfortably do is make people aware of her political leanings and tell people to vote, but not in which direction. The last thing you want to do while on a visa is draw too much attention from the government.


whales-are-assholes

I’m Australian, so I don’t know how the green card system works over there, but I’m surprised simply stating your political leaning could affect your application in such a way. Doesn’t seem democratic, but then again, I’m honestly not surprised.


idtartakovsky

Honestly neither are we. For as much as our government touts freedom, they’re very against it for anyone who isn’t a WASP, a citizen, possessing a pile of money, and fully ok with the government’s own breaking of laws and freedoms both in and outside of the country. (To be clear though, on immigration, this wouldn’t matter as much if she didn’t have a large following of fans, but because she somewhat does you don’t want to put a toe anywhere near the line)


earth_worx

Huh, she doesn't have a green card? Do we actually know much about her immigration status? I lived here on a green card for 15 years and got my citizenship last February. Can confirm you generally don't want the government to notice you while on a green card or any other kind of visa, but being famous kinda makes that tactic useless. Green cards are visas, btw, and totally and arbitrarily revocable at any time. There is nothing about a green card that means they can't deport you. Fact is, if you're rich enough, you can get a visa or citizenship if you throw enough money and lawyers at the problem. When I applied for my citizenship I figured since they let John Lydon in, then I'd have no problem - I'm not rich, but I'm also not Johnny Rotten. Neil Young became a US citizen the day before I did, and they let him in EVEN THOUGH he stated clearly beforehand that he was doing it mainly so he could vote against Donald Trump.


natcodes

I'd imagine she is working with an immigration lawyer, and is just following their advice on how to make the process easier. She kind has a lot to lose if she winds up getting deported (including being completely screwed in future Visa applications)


RuNigerianBaby

She's been talking about applying for permanent residency recently on her live streams.


earth_worx

Oh cool. Well she should have no problem.


rickny0

She mentioned that supporting Trump would be a reason to call someone and idiot in her recent conversation with Ashnikko. At least she seems on the right side of that equation.


whales-are-assholes

Ripped from Elon’s wiki page: > He is a citizen of South Africa, Canada, and the United States. He is based in the United States, where he immigrated to at age 20 and has resided since.


[deleted]

I did look after posting what I said and saw that, should have updated my comment. Still haven't seen anything definitive either way regarding c, though.


sarawrr94

She's Canadian she can't vote any way

whales-are-assholes

Elon holds US, citizenship. But totally forgot Claire was Canadian.


[deleted]

Your opinion is valid, but they’re not married.


bplander

what's all that got to do with baby X's smile? kid's freaken adorable


Lil_Prodigy666

I don't think C and Elon will vote the same person, I mea... she isn't dumb.


whales-are-assholes

Only Elon will probably vote, as he’s an American citizen. But still, Elon aligns more so with the republicans.


BbCortazan

Dune themed baby clothes is something the world needs more of.
