Trump / Musk (other than DOGE)

[dukeman92]

Why am I not surprised?

He must have hired the infamous ratfucker Don Segretti

I can't fathom why good people don't immediately discontinue any involvement with him or his companies.

Well, let’s see, maybe because while we all sit here and keyboard whine, he’s getting some real shit done?

Like buying votes.

Can you spell apartheid? Him Thiel etc. should be the real conspiracy rabbit hole you spent some time "Doing your own research." Just saying.

Not sure bin Talal is a loser. I mean yeah he lost money, but he helped buy a legitimatized platform that the Saudi government could likely get unfettered access to. He didn't lose money, this was opportunity cost for the House of Saud.

And let’s also not pretend Musk is in it for the money.

 

[ColdBlueSteel]

What real shit is he getting done? Can we get a list?

Advancing EV’s, expanding internet access, dramatically lowering the cost of space missions, translating brain waves…there’s a whole world outside of politics where some positive things are happening.

I agree both with this and that Elon is a dangerous unscrupulous dickhead.

And when an unsrcupilous dickhead in worth many hundreds of Billions -they can have real influence on Democracy

I'll still celebrate when he's gone from Earth

Do you have to be at a rally? I’d be happy to accept Elon’s million dollar check. I wouldn’t bother if it was Trump because I’d assume it would bounce and I’d be stuck paying a fee.

Thank god he’s lowering the cost of space missions. I was paying way too much when I was going on space missions.

 

[ColdBlueSteel]

I appreciate the insightful, constructive reply, as do the others who’ve piled on the likes.
Constructive, insightful, thoughtful reply.

My question is... what's in it for Elon?

 

[dukeman92]

He's already the richest person on the planet.

 

[JCTarheel82]

My question is... what's in it for Elon?

Money, power, and influence. And the more of these Elon gathers, the greater the existential threat to American democracy.

 

[aGDevil2k]

Rich people are cheap as hell and even more greedy.

He would sell out everyone for even a 1% tax break

 

[StrangePackage]

$$$$$$

Correction.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[PTOHeel]

My question is... what's in it for Elon?

The attention and feelings of power and influence.
