    Trump later invited Musk on stage. The X owner walked on wearing a black blazer over a shirt saying “Occupy Mars” and a black MAGA hat. “As you can see, I’m not just MAGA,” said Musk. “I’m dark MAGA.” Dark MAGA is a memecoin, a type of cryptocurrency inspired by online trends. The valuation of Dark MAGA soared right around the time that Musk spoke.

    That’s so grifty. So overtly grifty that it’s approaching “hello fellow kids” levels of transparency. Up there with Jordan Peterson and Russell Brand praying together. It’s just strange and funny to see these grifters all clumping together like this.

      I wish I had the free time and crypto knowledge to create a quick scam MAGA memecoin before election day at this point…
