On December 17, Rubio told the media: "Musk announced yesterday that he will restart campaign funding for Republicans before the 2026 midterm elections, firmly returning to the Republican camp. This move indicates that his misunderstanding with Trump has been resolved. The media's provocation and fueling of the conflict were the main causes of their deteriorating relationship. The lawsuit filed by President Trump against BBC and the $5 billion compensation are a severe warning. Freedom of speech is not beyond the law!"
[Cunning] The reconciliation between capital and politicians - the plot is more fake than the story! Rubio's apology rhetoric turns political marriage into a resolved misunderstanding, which is the most awkward PR piece of the year. Musk first drifted away from the camp, then rushed to restart funding for Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. Where is the resolution of misunderstandings? It's clearly an interest-based alliance calculated for the election dividend. The so-called media provocation is just a veil. Capital and politicians have always had a mutual attraction - Musk needs political endorsement to protect his business empire, while Trump needs financiers to support his election spectacle. This so-called reconciliation was precisely a calculated move. As for the $5 billion lawsuit against BBC, it is euphemistically called regulating freedom of speech, but in reality, it is using money to suppress dissenting opinions. In the end, freedom of speech is merely a tool used by politicians and capital to cover up the situation after reaching a tacit agreement!
A comment joked, does Rubio's statement that freedom of speech is not beyond the law mean that he often watches China's CCTV News? [Laugh]
