This is exactly what Trump is doing
Polls haven’t been accurate in a long time now. Election betting sites have said they are being manipulated. DJT stock price is being used as a way of showing “market acceptance of trump”. It’s all being gamed. It’s not conspiratorial at all.

None of the polls are based on reality anymore. They are all being gamed.

yeah, it was poor choice of words. I fixed my initial comment.
I mistyped “filed” as “dropped”. He filed a lawsuit this morning:

The fact that trump filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania this morning means he’s worried about winning the state. The more lawsuits he files, and the sooner he claims victory (in a state or the whole thing), the worse his numbers actually are.
The polls are being manipulated to shit, and are not based on any reality.
Sorry, I’ll see myself out.
All campaigning for Harris
It is (I watched that exact site the last two cycles). It’s being manipulated to hell now since lots of people started paying attention to it. None of the betting sites are accurate (just like modern polls).
Lots of drugs can do that to a person
Lina Khan (in the US) is taking those first steps. Harris better keep her in place.
We just need to be more patient and tax-cut the wealthy even harder. Then it’ll properly start to trickle. Just a little longer
Conclusion from the site:
National polls showing a close race are irrelevant. The only polls that matter are those from the swing states where the electoral college will be decided. Both parties want to keep the perception of a close race to motivate their voters, so the narrative of a neck-and-neck race will persist until Election Day.
Whether it’s due to faulty polling, media spin, or a strategy designed to keep voters engaged, reality is starting to break through. This election could be shaping up to be a blowout, and it’s time to focus on the actual data—not just what we’re being told.

Elon wants trump so they can dismantle the FAA and the DOT so he can do more bullshit without oversight or restriction.
