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.

    Laura Loomer is kind of mad because she sucked the wrong dick for influence.

    This is the sort of fundamentally misogynistic comment I’d expect to hear from a Trump supporter. She’s not a “whore” just because she’s a vocal, visible and yes, you could even say “successful” woman.

    She very likely did not sleep her way to where ever in MAGA-land this is. She got to be a despicable human all on her own.

    Edit: Listen to yourselves. It helps when the subject isn’t a garbage human. Pretend it’s your mother. “She just slept her way to success”

        “Very obvious”? When I searched for that all I got was rumor and innuendo and mention of a defamation lawsuit she filed.

        But regardless, why is the immediate conclusion always that women use sex to advance their careers and that this makes them “whores”. Why is this always considered awful and distasteful but when men do it it’s celebrated?

        And ya, I can’t believe I’m defending this piece of garbage.

            I think it’s telling that (a) you see an affair there; (b) you assume that an affair reflects more poorly on Looner than it does Trump.

            Bonus: ( c ) You think the Times of India is a good place to get factual information.

              a - I have eyes

              b - there is very few people for whom an affair with trump would reflect less poorly than on trump

              c - quality of their journalism doesn’t matter here since the photos are what I wanted to share with you

      If she had been male, it would have been about ass kissing rather than dick sucking.

      This isn’t a “haha women can only success if they use their bodies” so much as a “haha she miscalculated that using her body would give her a close position to Trump but he moved on pretty quickly and prefers Elon’s money”.
