Unhinged failed GOP candidate regrets Cybertruck purchase after X demonetized her

Unhinged failed GOP candidate regrets Cybertruck purchase after X demonetized her

Valentina Gomez, an anti-LGBTQ+ provocateur and failed Republican candidate for Missouri secretary of state who made “Don’t be weak and gay” her campaign slogan, has had her account on X demonetized after repeatedly using anti-gay slurs. She’s now ranting about the restriction, especially since she purchased a Cybertruck, an electric vehicle designed by Tesla, the company owned by X’s billionaire Republican owner Elon Musk.

“@elonmusk I dropped 100k on your Cybertruck and now you demonetize me,” the gun-toting, flame-throwing loser tweeted on Monday. “I should have bought another Prius,” she added, referencing Toyota’s hybrid gas-and-electric vehicle.

Just the day before, Gomez was literally platforming the massive and ostentatious utility vehicle. Her video showed her standing on her Cybertruck roof and invoking a conspiracy theory, claiming the first assassination attempt of Donald Trump in July was “an inside job.”

“This is a slanted roof and I can definitely hit a target from 500 yards,” she said toting a fully loaded AR-15. “This was an inside job and we must protect President Trump at all costs.”

The day before, Gomez was once again on the roof of her truck firing an Elon Musk flamethrower with a music remix of Trump’s outrageous debate claim that Haitian migrants are eating Ohio pets.

She captioned the video, “Hide your cats, hide your dogs, and buy guns.”

Gomez apparently bought her new rig in August, tweeting at the self-entitled fellow conspiracy theorist and world’s richest man, “The CyberTruck is not weak and gay. @elonmusk I approve.”

But days later, X sanctioned Gomez after she posted another video, since blocked from the platform, using a gay slur. The post was restricted for violating X’s Hateful Conduct guidelines, and Gomez’s account was demonetized.

One user replied to Gomez’s complaint to Musk, “I don’t think it’s Elon. I think there’s someone at X that is targeting accounts that are Pro Trump.”

In response, she posted “Elon needs to fire that p**sy.”

While she’s mad about the X slap, Gomez, who used another flamethrower to burn a pile of LGBTQ+-themed books early in her campaign, doesn’t seem to harbor any resentment for the Tesla company owner.

“I’m not that mad at Elon tbh,” she posted after the fact.
