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

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

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

 

[dukeman92]

He's already the richest person on the planet.

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

Rich people are cheap as hell and even more greedy.

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

$$$$$$

Correction.

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

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

The attention and feelings of power and influence.

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.

So why doesn’t he spend all of his time on those things rather than tweeting all kinds of stupid and dangerous BS and stumping for Trump?

They’re not voters though, they are petition signers. (wink wink)

Don’t worry, Elon has now responded:



No big deal, just the worlds richest man trying to get random state officials killed for political and personal gain.

I hope someone prosecutes his ass for paying voters. That shit is very illegal. Josh Shapiro knows it. If Kamala wins, DOJ needs to prosecute that motherfucker and throw his ass in jail. Don't be scared of his lawyers. They can't do anything to protect him.

He's not paying voters. He's paying people to sign a petition. Are you aware of any law against that (there may be, but I'd think it would have First Amendment problems under Citizens United).
