I personally love wealthy people; most of the people I know well are very rich, and any hatred of them comes from lazy people who have accepted too much Marxism in their lives.  There is freedom that comes from wealth that gives them something very valuable, and I have found that some of the best people in politics are wealthy people who do those jobs without needing to because they don’t use politics to give their names meaning.  They participate in politics because they want to help in some way or another.  However, not all wealthy people are out for the same things.  And given how many billionaires were being led behind George Soros to support progressive, globalist policies, they are a factor in politics that can quickly erode the self-management of a country that doesn’t have significant wealth to express their points of view through a vote.  The Trump people, not just his family, but also people like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who have just been named to lead a branch of government called the Department of Government Efficiency, have a freedom most people don’t have because of their wealth that allows them to be objective on the role government plays in social life, and I trust them a lot more than I do people desperate to live their lives off government work.  I have met Vivek Ramaswamy many times, and one of those times, for the first time, came through an introduction with the Great Nancy Nix, the auditor of Butler County, Ohio, and I was able to hear from him very early in this political process what his motives were.  At that time, he had earned roughly a billion dollars privately as a CEO of several biotech companies, and he wanted to do something to help when he saw trouble forming, so he volunteered to get involved after participating in an event that involved me.   I believe him because of our private conversation even before his book Woke, Inc. was published.  I have watched Elon Musk undergo a process similar to Vivek Ramaswamy over the last few years.

One common thing about people who have a lot of money is that they are rich for a reason, so they tend to make money off changes in social conditions by the nature of investments.  Elon Musk was projected to be the first trillionaire before the election of 2024 when he suddenly became Trump’s best friend.  That is because of the value he created in his companies, not because he is making more money because of the government.  It was widely reported that Elon Musk made 30 billion dollars of net worth one day after the 2024 election, and many are pointing to his role in politics in the closing months of the Trump campaign as the reason.  But that’s not the case.  President Trump went through a similar investment recovery period when he was severely financially strained with prosecutions through many lawfare campaigns against him, and things were looking pretty bleak, even for a billionaire as he has been.  But then his social media platform Truth Social went public and Trump actually gained back much of the wealth that had been stolen from him during this harassment process, gaining a few billion dollars in value.  And that’s why it’s good to have wealthy people on your side in these constitutional debates: they can afford to fight those battles where others just can’t.  And many self-made people are independently rich in this incoming Trump administration, which gives them the freedom to do the hard things because they aren’t making their livings off the government.  They are free of that burden generally.

The method of attack by global Marxists has been to capture the means of production so that people can be controlled by their incomes.  And that has been going on to a large degree and shown itself to be most ugly during the darkest days of the Biden administration.  People were able to see just how dangerous a government run by such people indeed could be, and there were many billionaires committed to Marxism, like George Soros, who have used their wealth as a weapon of social policy.  The same could be said of Larry Fink of BlackRock and his relationship with the Federal Reserve, which has been very unhealthy and destructive.  Fighting these people requires other people with similar or more wealth to even the playing field and preserve a republic form of government that regular people can maintain.  And that is clearly what Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, seeks to do with an alliance with President Trump.  That is a relationship that few saw coming even a year ago.  I was at a lunch in February of 2024 with many progressive people were raving about the new Elon Musk biography they told me I should read and would love it.  They were making a case for why people left of center should be running the world and that Elon Musk would pave the way for that new view of the world.  I read the book and saw a much different person than they did in Elon Musk.  I saw someone trying to solve a complicated problem that few were wrapping their minds around; his problem was, what should a government on Mars look like?  What kind of government on Earth could send people to colonize the solar system?  Early in his public life he did vote left of center, for people like Biden and Obama.  But he had been going through a similar change as Trump and even Vivek Ramaswamy.  And I wasn’t surprised at all that as the election came, he was with Trump on Election Night and had realized that if Trump didn’t win, the human race would regress into Marxism for the foreseeable future, and humanity would never get to Mars. 

So it’s good to have rich people on your side in these political battles.  It takes more than money to win these things, of course.  And I wouldn’t trade my life for any of theirs any day of the week.  Wealth comes in many more forms than just money.  But money is a tool, and it’s good to have people on your side with the right tools to battle.  The fight is to free humanity to the most significant degree from those who want to impress upon ordinary people an aristocracy of value for the sake of a class structure that features the egos of very insecure people.  Logically, people like Elon Musk, and I know from Vivek Ramaswamy, that freedom from normal social conditions through wealth provides a perspective encompassing larger ideals.  I am sure Musk could care less about his money; he isn’t driving around in fancy cars and a loose playboy life.  He wears his Occupy Mars t-shirt and sleeps in a shack, more or less at Boca Chica, Texas, because his goal is much bigger than just making money.  I believe him when he says he will use his personal fortune of over a trillion dollars to get mankind into space, every last dollar of it.  He is totally committed to that endeavor. Yet, as this Trump administration fixes many things that are wrong in the world, they will make a lot more money because they already have investments that will increase as the economy improves.  But that is not what they are after, and I can say that with some personal experience with those types of people.  They would be the first to say that they want to see more people have better lives, and if a good economy can do it, then it would be fantastic.  But whatever it takes to improve the world, Elon Musk, I am convinced he wants to do it for mass society, because once that occurs, humanity will be prepared for the colonization of space.  And through the Trump administration, that is the best path to the kind of government that could sustain a Mars colony, with capitalism fueling the endeavor.
