Rosie O’Donnell claims election was stolen because Musk ‘owns and runs the Internet’

Rosie O’Donnell thinks the 2024 election should be “investigated” as she floated her theory about President Donald Trump.

The comedian who fled the U.S. to Ireland before Trump’s inauguration shared her wild thoughts in an Irish TV interview, explaining her move out of the U.S. because of her feelings about the president.

“A lot of people did vote for him,” host Patrick Kielty on “The Late Late Show” from Irish channel RTE said of Trump during the interview. “Do you accept their right to do that and their opinion of him?”

“Well, I respect their right to do that. I question why for the first time in American history a president has won every swing state and is also best friends and his largest donor was a man who owns and runs the internet,” O’Donnell said, evidently referring to Elon Musk.

Musk does not actually own the Internet but is the owner of the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, and of Starlink, the satellite Internet service. He reacted to a clip of O’Donnell’s comments with a laughing emoji.

“So, I hope that would be investigated. And that we would see whether it was an anomaly or it was something else that happened on election night in America when Kamala Harris was filling up stadiums with people who supported her and Donald Trump was not able to do that,” O’Donnell continued.

“So, it’s curious to me and as an American and a believer in democracy, I would hope that we would be able to look at all of the reasons why this happened in our country,” she said.

Earlier, when asked about settling in her new Irish home, O’Donnell praised the people she has encountered and disparaged Americans for being “invasive.”

“The people have been unbelievably kind and loving and supportive and so different than Americans when they recognize you,” she told Kielty as she recounted a recent shopping experience. “It’s so polite, it’s so sweet and non-invasive.”

O’Donnell decided to run away from the U.S. for Trump’s second term claiming it’s “different than the first time he was in office because of the Supreme Court giving him ultimate power, the powers of a king or a monarch.”

“And that’s not what the United States is all about. And it’s a terrifying prospect. And in fact, what has happened since he’s taken office has been terrifying, I think for the world and definitely for the United States of America,” she claimed.

Social media users blasted the 63-year-old leftist for her “upside down” version of reality.
