Let’s Be Clear, Elon Musk Did Not Win the Election for Trump: The tempers of a dejected woman

Let’s get something straight: Elon Musk did not win the election for President Trump.  I like Elon Musk, and I want his companies to succeed.  But he’s a political lightweight who still has a lot to learn.  The money he spent, primarily on President Trump, around $290 million, was in his own best interest. If Trump had lost, it would have essentially cost Elon Musk many billions of dollars in lost opportunity cost.  So this big head idea he has that he won the election for President Trump, and that he put a Republican House and Senate into the majority, is ridiculously wrong.  I have a news flash for Elon Musk.  Trump was going to win, and so were those majorities going to happen, with or without Elon Musk.  We don’t owe him anything.  We welcomed his help.  But we were going to win regardless.  Trump was poised to win as far back as 2022, and I said so all the way.  Everyone knew what the internals were saying; Trump was never going to lose.  And I hate to say it, but that money Musk spent was mainly worthless.   People had already made up their minds about Trump, and they wanted him, because election fraud was the problem in 2020.  Elon Musk was a Democrat who helped other Democrats feel like they could switch over to the MAGA base and be a part of it.  However, the numbers were already in place long before Elon Musk became involved.  And to whatever degree Elon Musk has deluded himself with a power play to turn against Trump in the way he did, which will have a permanent impact on the rest of his life, it’s essential to clarify the truth of the matter.  President Trump would have won the 2024 election with or without help. 

There is a part of me, and it might yet be somewhat true that the calls for war that China and Russia have been beating on, making negotiations very difficult, were why Trump and Musk went into a tag team kind of Big Time Wrestling event where the world was temporarily distracted by the most powerful person in the world getting into a fight with the world’s richest person.  Trump has done that kind of thing with Vince McMahon before.  Those kinds of acts are what WWF wrestling is all about, and off stage, all the guys are friends.  But I think Trump is legitimately hurt by what Elon Musk did, and that what happened was a permanent condition.  I would place it among the stories of Omarosa, Michael Cohen, and Anthony Scaramucci, people who were once close to Trump but fell away in disgrace.  That’s a whole topic of its own, but in this case, it takes courage to stand by a person like President Trump, and some people just don’t have it.  Is it President Trump’s fault that there are so many people like that in his life, and extending well into the past?  No, I would say that influential people attract people who want to be near power.  And as people of their own, they have fantasies of being able to manipulate influential people into doing things they want, because they lack the courage to do it themselves.  So they fly too close to the sun, their wings melt, and they fall back to earth.  Elon Musk is just the latest to experience that. 

As it looks, Steve Bannon was probably more right than wrong about Musk being a Chinese asset.  China is Tesla’s second-largest market, behind the United States, with sales growing by 8.8% in 2024.  And state-controlled banks in China gave Tesla a $1.6 billion loan from Chinese state-owned banks in 2019 to build their gigafactory there, with a reduced 15% corporate tax rate.  I think the pressure on Elon Musk to exit politics was significant due to his numerous entanglements.  I was amazed that he was able to do as much as he did.  Like a lot of people, Elon Musk got caught up in seeing the extreme wrong behind the assassination attempt of Trump, and he joined the crusade out of a moral imperative, like so many others did.  But China has been using globalist money to buy people with leverage for many years, including most of our current government.  And they are trying to undermine Trump, as they did when they released the COVID-19 virus during an election year.  We cannot ignore the role China played in election fraud in America, but also in other places, such as Brazil, and most recently in South Korea.  Doing business with China is a tricky proposition; they can and will hold everything over your head if they decide to call in a loan.  That seems to be a common practice in the world these days, so I can certainly understand the pressure on Musk to distance himself from the White House and return to running his companies, which, unfortunately, involves being a political chameleon.  Most businesspeople have to adapt their approach depending on the country they are dealing with, and with a company like Tesla, China holds significant influence.  It’s nice that it’s an American car company and that it represents a necessary export.  But at what cost? Usually, it means that at the very least, the CEO of the company can’t have political opinions that work against the country they are building and selling cars to, when they are effectively a communist run enterprise hell bent on authority control over mass society.

I think the pressure got to him. There are a lot of leftists who work in executive positions at Musk’s companies, and they weren’t happy that he was suddenly one of the key Republicans in Washington D.C., attached so intimately to the Trump administration with direct, and open friendship.  For Trump’s part, it was good to have Musk as a friend.  In business, you keep your friends close, and if you can, you keep your enemies closer.  If you have your arm around them, it’s hard for them to stick a knife in your back, because your arm can control their movements to a greater extent.  But for people like Musk, and the long line of individuals who have tried to be close to Trump, to control him in some way, and then found out things didn’t go the way they wanted, it’s like the woman who marries a man to change him.  And after all the sex and laughing at his dumb jokes, he still doesn’t willingly cut the grass on Sunday, the woman feels dejected and angry.  And I think Elon Musk is like so many women who try such a thing only to realize they weren’t able to change the man they married, leaving them embarrassed and regretful.  And Musk wanted to make a clean break to get his companies back on track by using the protest against this Big Beautiful Bill as an excuse.  Because if you did want to help the Chinese stay in power, you would like to stop the Trump campaign bill from passing the Senate.  Passing the bill, as expensive as it is, essentially reduces China’s influence over American politics.  That’s why it’s so costly.  Debt can be leveraged to advantage.  But to make it work, you have to have something valuable to work with.  China has been trying to destroy that value, so this Big Beautiful Bill of Trump’s is all about leverage.  Not actual debt.  And Elon Musk found himself caught between those two worlds, and he had to pick.  And I don’t blame him.  It takes a lot of guts to stick to these kinds of things.  And it’s challenging at best, especially if you have a substantial amount of money and want to maintain it.  But let’s be clear, Musk didn’t win the election for Trump.  He was just lucky to have been a part of history.  He certainly didn’t make it.

People Should Be Working More: At least 70 hours per week

It’s interesting. I put a video I did on YouTube about work ethic, which has received many opinions in the form of comments, which have stirred people.  But as I have always said, what better use of time do people have?  Why do people think it’s OK to rush home from work only to sit in front of a television and rot away?  Most people waste their free time thinking about really dumb things, and I would argue that the world would be a lot better off if people worked more, rather than less.  I think one of the dumbest things we have ever done as a society is to devise a 40-hour work week because it’s an artificial constraint that we have imposed on ourselves, and for what?  People are not better off for it.  Often when they don’t work enough in life, they don’t have the money they need to do everything, and having too much leisure time is the devil’s playground, and they end up doing dumb, unstructured things with their time.  Most people are better off working for a boss that knows how to do productive things in life, and if people would just work more, they would have much better lives.  This notion that people need to be away from work is a destructive one and was brought to us by the communist movement that came to America through labor unions.  So why is saying that people should work more so controversial?  Well, it hits a nerve because it challenges a previous assumption that a lot of people don’t realize they have adopted, that has been bad for them.  Too much free time for people who don’t know how to do good things with it is terrible for people, and making money is a good way to overcome personal problems and work toward goals.  And that most people would be much better off if they only worked a little more, around 70 hours per week.

I never celebrate Labor Day because it’s a union holiday, and they have brought society too many artificial constraints.  People were far better off when they worked more, especially on farms where they worked from sunup to sundown and sat around the kitchen table tired at the end of it.  And talking about their shared experiences together as a family.  I would add that people were even better off after all that when they shared Bible verses and fell asleep next to a roaring fire in the fireplace, never turning on the television, because they were too tired to do so.  What was attacked through the union movement was the American work ethic, which was an import from Europe and all their Marxism, and it never had any place in the American workplace.  The whole notion that the owners and industrialists are evil because they want to make money, and should be stopped by radicalizing the work force, was a weapon against American capitalism, and it was terrible from the start.  It never had a constructive place in our society and was always meant to destroy a foreign rival with an export of ideas that would cripple our industrial capacity, an artificial constraint on our manufacturing ability.  Especially after World War II, how we responded to the global war effort was terrifying to our enemy because of how Americans willingly approached their work.  Back then, America was fresh off the hard work of American expansionism. Many people who worked in the factories then were fresh off being raised on farms by good, structured families.  And the result was terrifying to the lazy of the world who didn’t have a very good work ethic. 

Many people these days rush home from work only to do what?  Sit in front of the television and waste their time.  It’s not like they are sitting at the dinner table with their families talking about their day.  They have adopted ideas that were bad for them by the very lazy Marxists in the labor movement who purposefully wanted to cripple American manufacturing with artificial constraints intent to limit American production capacity. I have never worked a 40-hour work week in my adult life.  I work on various things about 90 hours per week and still spend a lot of time with my family.  But I don’t waste much time doing things that aren’t productive.  And I find that is the way it is with most people who are successful in life.  They work a lot and don’t have much time to waste.  When Elon Musk says similar things, it’s not because he’s a billionaire looking to exploit labor.  He’s a billionaire because he doesn’t personally waste time—the same with Trump.  President Trump has always had a good work ethic.  That’s why he has been a successful person.  One of the keys to success is not to follow the time-wasting imposed on our culture by foreign adversaries, and to work more in life, instead of less.  And people who do are a lot happier.  Not only do they make more money, but they can also use it for private enterprises.  But they have a sense of purpose in life because they are doing good things with their life instead of wasting them.

This is important to think about because if we want to Make America Great Again, it comes from more than just bringing jobs back to America from foreign markets that they fled to in the first place.  We have to admit to ourselves one of the reasons those jobs left, and it was because Americans accepted stupid labor practices given to them by Marxist infiltrators in the labor movement that were destructive to a good, productive society.  And those jobs were left for places where people worked hard and were happy to do it.  Hard work is good for the mind, not bad.  Too much leisure time is destructive if not filled with other productive behaviors, unless you work hard to build family relationships.  Or working hard to build community improvement.  You are wasting your time if you aren’t being productive at something, and when the proposal for the 40-hour work week was presented, it assumed that work was something our society shouldn’t be doing, so they were looking to do the least amount of it possible.  And the results have not been good.  So, for my part, I think people should be thinking about doubling the amount of work they do in a week to keep their minds on positive activities and toward something instead of giving themselves artificial constraints.  If you are broke because you only work 40 hours per week, that’s on you.  You should be working more on other things and filling your life with productivity.  Not working at least 8 hours per day, rushing home to sit in front of the television, and eating things that make you sick anyway.  You should work longer and more days of the week and do positive things toward self-improvement, all hours of the day.  You will find a better family life and be a better person.  People have many problems because they don’t work hard enough at more things in their lives, and things tend to crumble around them.  And that was the intent of the enemy when they infiltrated our labor practices from the start.  And it’s up to us to correct it now.

Rich People In Trump’s Administration is a Great Thing: Government serves us, not the other way around

I don’t see any problem with all the wealthy people now involved with Trump’s White House.  The anxiety people feel is misplaced because you must remember that the government has limited powers for a reason.  People in government do not rule us.  They are there to serve us.  So, from my perspective, if a bunch of rich people want to serve us through government in some way, then that can only be a good thing.  When I hear people worry about all these rich people who are suddenly eating out of Trump’s hand when they have been very hostile to him, it’s important to remember what the government is supposed to be doing.  I will never trust Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerbucks, Larry Ellison, or any of those guys.  Bill Gates should be in jail for his role in COVID-19 and the cover-up of where it all came from.  But I’m not surprised that Trump has sat down with him and listened to him.  And I’m certainly not surprised they suddenly want to be Trump’s friend.  Everyone must remember that this is why you want a government that represents you, and you want people like Trump, who have achieved a unique place in life, to represent us freely.  The government is purposefully limited so that wealth and power can’t be captured and used against people like a king might do.  So all this oligarchy talk is a lot to do about nothing.  The more, the better, from my perspective.  Wealth gives people freedom, which is part of the American system and the ultimate resume.  This is proof of a successful life, and when we put people in positions to do great things for us in government, there is no way to fake the credentials of a very public and wealthy person.  The proof is in their life. 

If Trump hadn’t been wealthy, he would not have been able to become president.  It took massive wealth to fight back against a system that was designed to abandon our Constitution and impose tyranny, just as has been the case since the beginning of time.  I know people’s suspicions about wealthy people only increase from a biblical perspective.  Only recently in the West has the idea of self-government been created and imposed through revolution.  Much of that revolution was caused by wealthy people who had acquired a perspective of freedom that comes best from wealth.  So, rich people had to be well connected to the powers of tyranny to have anything during the biblical era.  They couldn’t be trusted.  Yet it’s a much different reference point under the American system where wealth is gained through innovation and hard work.  Wealth in itself isn’t merit.  But it reflects a life of good decisions and social victory as a measure in a free market economy.  However, that measure is very new on the world stage, and many hostile agents worldwide want things to be as they were for centuries, where wealth gained meant to rule over the many.  And Democrats have been playing on those fears for a long time to gain power in that very traditional sense.  However, as is Elon Musk, Trump is different, and many people have attached themselves to Trump’s efforts.  I know from Vivek Ramaswamy because he’s from my area, and I’ve been able to talk to him about it, that as a young and wealthy person, he is attracted to helping people with the money he has gained.  So, he finds himself attached to the Trump administration in many ways.  And I think that’s what we are seeing a lot of now that Trump is the President.

Many of those same names had been attaching themselves to the old measures of wealth understanding.  People were suspicious of rich people because history gave them a lot of reason to be so.  The Bible reflects this fear dramatically.  Rich people like Jeff Bezos, who wanted to go out and use his money to buy a trophy wife and lots of cool toys to play with, wanted to prove that they weren’t bad people, even if, in some ways, they were terrible people living a life of sin and scandal.  However, they gained wealth under the free market system because they did something really well that made them a lot of money.  Like in Jeff Bezos’s situation, he made Amazon the best online retailer in the world, making my life infinitely better.  I would argue that the books sold under Amazon have been a tremendous part of the freedom movement in America.  Even though Amazon tried to become part of the censorship movement in some cases, the freedom of access to information through Amazon has given voice to free market ideas, ultimately leading to President Trump’s election.  Even if Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post as a blog to destroy Trump essentially, the total sum of all the work made people more accessible to consider uniquely American ideas about wealth representation in government.  In the market of ideas, Trump was picked by the public regardless of what the static order had to say about it.  And Bezos’ actions speak louder than his words because his words were shaped by a kind of deceit formed by a biblical view of the world where he aligned himself with Democrat politics to prove that he wasn’t just another rich guy who wanted to rule the world.  That he was with the people as a social order defined it then.

Rich people have a freedom that we all would like to have, and it is part of the fantasy of the American style of government to provide the best and brightest to the world of merit.  When Biden warns of a Trump administration of oligarchs, that comes from a person who would otherwise be poor if he did not sell his offices to enrich his family, as many people have done in government for a long time, it’s been a running joke in politics.  However, that kind of wealth is not the same kind that someone like Trump has produced.  They might all be rich, but their money came from different places.  Trump didn’t get rich by cozying up to the powerful.  He became rich and powerful by doing a good job.  And we love America because its economic system gives us a chance at just such a life.  So we want to support those who do make it and then decide to use the wealth and freedom they have gained to help others have a shot at the same.  Or at least make life better for people in any way possible.  And that’s what I see happening around Trump.  These aren’t rich people as we traditionally and biblically know them.  These people have had the pretense of wealth socially stripped away and are now free to use that wealth to do extraordinary things with it.  And Trump is giving them access to do just that.   Suspicion of them is natural.  And they are not suddenly good people just because they have money.  But part of what makes America great is that wealth is a scoreboard of success and that it’s always a good thing to have successful people making decisions that can make a country better and improve the world’s condition.  Trump is making that happen for the first time in history, which is ultimately a very good thing for everyone.

A Hyperloop Terminal in Monroe, Ohio: The only thing holding back such an emerging technology is political will

I have been thinking a lot more of it since President Trump won the election.  But once the news started leaking out of Mar-a-Lago from people who would know, my thinking about it grew into genuine excitement.  My ideas about Monroe, Ohio, becoming the focal point of a new hyperloop terminal, grew some serious legs.  Most of the people involved probably don’t know what a hyperloop is, so I put together a pitch video to explain it to them and get some conceptual faculty behind the thought.  After all, why would little ol’ Monroe, Ohio, be such a hot spot for one of the great emerging technologies on Earth?  Once I learned that Jon Husted would be appointed as the Senate seat replacement for J.D. Vance, all the elements started clicking into place.  I like Jon because of a mutual friend we have, and I know he is very pro business.  However, it only got better once I learned that Trump was very concerned about the next governor of Ohio and wanted to clear the decks for a pick he wanted after DeWine was done in a few years.  After a few years of D.O.G.E., Vivek Ramaswamy was planning to be governor, which is pretty much a slam dunk on the election process.  And I know a lot of mutual friends regarding Vivek.  And, of course, his relationship with Elon Musk then became very important.  After all, J.D. Vance will be in the White House, and economic stimulation will be very important to the Trump/Vance White House.  It was likely that Vance would be in the White House for the next 12 years, 4 with Trump, then 8 with his own administration because people won’t want Trump to go away.  And things started to get hot on my idea.

A few days before all this information emerged out of Mar-a-Lago, Musk proposed a 20 billion dollar Hyperloop connection between New York and London.  Hyperloop is something I have supported for a very long time.  I even hired a few engineers from the University of Cincinnati open source program who worked at SpaceX to develop the emerging technology so I could learn all I could about the pitfalls of the technology.  And I realized what I needed to know.  Hyperloop is a very advanced high-speed transportation system that blasts passengers in a train-like pod at 700-1000 mph conceptually through a cushion of air through a tunnel with all the air removed, almost duplicating the vacuum levels of space to remove wind resistance.  Using magnets to pull the craft along, passengers can travel much faster than a commercial airline.  This trip from New York to London would happen in just a few hours instead of much of the day and would travel under the ocean through tunneling technology from one of Elon Musk’s companies, The Boring Company.  To many people, this all sounded like crazy science fiction from Musk.  But he’s serious.  They are already building a hyperloop in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates.  They have also built a preliminary tunneling system in Las Vegas as a kind of test bed.  China is also hard at work as it has stolen the idea from Musk.  So far, nobody has had success, but it’s not because the science is wrong.  It’s because doing such a thing takes enormous political will.  Musk has all the money in the world.  What he doesn’t have is what was forming in Ohio in the Monroe area, the political will to pull it off, from President Trump himself, who wants to do something big during his presidency with a new highway system effort that would rival what we did in America during the 1950s under Eisenhower.  Hyperloop had the opportunity to be bigger than America’s national highway system, and once that was started as a massive infrastructure project, it happened very fast and became normal. 

Monroe makes sense for the first national terminal because if there is a line for 20 billion dollars from New York to London, another 500-mile hyperloop from Monroe to New York could feed the country’s interior to the east coast with a trip that would take about 45 minutes.  And Monroe is only an hour’s drive from Columbus, Indianapolis, Lexington, Louisville and is between Cincinnati and Dayton.  Many people can drive a short distance to Monroe, where they could pick up a few hyperloop lines that would take them to places like Las Angeles, Vegas, and Orlando within a few hours.   And with such a hyperloop hub comes massive economic activity, which would feed the economically deprived hometown of J.D. Vance.  An economic goal that the Trump administration has for many such cities in America, especially along the Rust Belt.  With Governor Ramaswamy in Ohio, many good things can happen with a revitalized Trump economy that could pay down the debt and still generate several hundred billion dollars for something on this scale.  Elon Musk is working with them all to do such a thing, and the technology of The Boring Company makes it all possible.  While there are technical issues to solve, the rate of innovation isn’t the problem.  Political support is, and under the conditions described, Monroe, Ohio, suddenly looks to be the best place in the world for such an effort.  It would revitalize Middletown, Ohio, nearby Hamilton, and, of course, Dayton.  All areas that had been husked out to globalism.  Suddenly, a lot was possible for a relatively small investment. 

Musk knows how to solve this problem, which he needs to do before humans colonize the Moon and Mars.  Living on other planets will require tunnels to protect people from large doses of radiation on planets struggling with their own atmospheres until they are terraformed into habitable planets through science.  Developing a hyperloop on Earth would give The Boreing Company the experience to perform the same on other planets.  So, such an effort has value beyond the convenience of high-speed travel between long-distance destinations on Earth.  As I was talking to my good friend Senator Lang about all this, we shared an intense desire to bring more technology and aerospace imprint along that particular section of the I-75 corridor to make Ohio one of the most business-friendly places in the world.  A hyperloop terminal would go a long way to making that instantly happen.  And suppose there was a President Vance in the White House, a Governor Ramaswamy in the Ohio governor’s mansion, and the wealthiest person in the world who would do anything to get to Mars. In that case, there are a lot of dots that are getting connected if the right people help steer the ship.  So this isn’t a typical article for my usual audience, but for the powerful people I know who read in the background and can help unify everyone behind this effort.  The first thing I thought of as soon as Trump gave his acceptance speech the night of the election was, “Now we have the kind of president who can make the hyperloop possible.”  For many years now, I have considered Monroe, Ohio, the premier place to build such a terminal in the large amounts of land behind the outlet mall.  It would look techy and destination-driven, like Space Mountain from Disney World, only much larger, and impressive.  And suddenly, America would do something that would improve the lives of everyone on earth for centuries.  If only we could align the politics, which is entirely possible based on how things are shaping up.

Elon Musk and President Trump: Coming over to the right way of thinking

If I were recruiting people in my life who only thought just like me, I would never speak with anybody.  So, I am always open to giving someone a chance to get it right and to come around to the right way of thinking.  Not all people come to the right way of thinking the same, but in a competitive exchange of ideas, some things are revealed that are universal truths.  So, I am always open to people discovering those truths, even if they come from a background where their thinking has steered them down the wrong path.  And that is the case with President Trump.  I wouldn’t have cared to speak one word to him twenty years ago during the height of his Apprentice show on NBC.  Unevolved playboys never interested me.  But people who make fortunes and then want to do good things with those fortunes do.  And that is the trajectory of Elon Musk, one of the world’s wealthiest people, trading back and forth with Jeff Bezos for that title.  But without question, Elon Musk is one of the biggest influencers on planet Earth.  There have always been aspects of his character that I have liked, particularly the kind of guy who would appear on the television show Rick and Morty and be associated with the Babylon Bee podcast.  However, I was not interested in the guy who loved Barack Obama and the idea of climate change and globalism—and managing supply chains in China.  However, I noticed a change in Musk’s political interests about a year into Biden’s first term.  I wouldn’t say I liked how stand-offish Musk was toward Trump during his first term, so I had a lot of questions about Trump and Musk’s relationship, which was put into context in the recent book Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson. 

It’s exciting to see in that book that the author, Walter Isaacson, was uncomfortable with Musk’s relationship with President Trump over the time he covered him.  This book project is a Simon and Schuster New York thing, and they are all part of the Trump-hating group who find the concept of the President as revolting because it’s a serious disruption to their plans for global communism China style.  So, Walter would look for ways to demean Trump in the text, even though Elon Musk has been moving toward Trump over the last several years.  A couple of things happened to Musk by Biden’s administration that set things in motion for which Musk and many others took for granted in the pre-Covid world of Trump successes.  The biggest thing is that Biden had a big event at the White House to celebrate the EV car market, and there simply isn’t any bigger name in the business than Tesla.  So Musk should have been the feature guy.  But Biden made it all about union labor, and Tesla isn’t unionized and has no plans to become so.  So Tesla was cast out of the White House spotlight, which, from then on, changed Musk politically, and he took a hard turn toward defending free speech and conducting a less rules-based society centrally run by big government bureaucracies.  The Elon Musk of the last three years or so is not the same political Elon Musk from the Obama period going into Trump’s administration, and that is consistent with my observations and what I have said about Musk’s political transition.  Like I said, I don’t hold people to previous assumptions.  As people learn things about the way the world works, I expect people to come around toward a big tent party, so it does not surprise me that Musk is now supporting Republicans rather than Democrats, which many of Musk’s friends find apocalyptic, best expressed in that book by Larry David who thought Musk was casting off a responsibility toward Democrats that he played a central role in.

As I have said for years, there is no way to become a human civilization going to space under a communist flag with mixed societies of socialism as part of the process.  The more capitalist space endeavors are, the more successful they will become.  And that is certainly the case with what Musk wants to do with SpaceX and the Starship program.  Math is math; the more accessible society is, the more opportunities there are for the human race to get into space and still support a positive culture on Earth.  The more socialism and communism there are politically in those systems, the more failure is introduced into all the assumptions. And now that everyone has seen what kind of world a third term of Obama looks like, through the inserted President Biden, people have decided that China-style communism is not their thing.  And people like Musk have moved toward the direction of a big tent version of the Republican Party that is fighting for personal freedoms, starting with free speech.  Musk had been supporting softer versions of Republicans like Ron DeSantis, and as I have pointed out, I have been on presentations online where Musk participated in conversations with Vivek Ramaswamy and J.D. Vance.  So Musk has indeed transitioned into a supportive Republican understanding that America will not survive if the global communists get their way.  Now that the game plan is relatively straightforward, these intentions are no longer a “conspiracy theory.”

There was a part of the Elon Musk book where Walter was disturbed by Musk’s father, a Trump supporter who would send messages to his son indicating that Biden didn’t win the last election, which was stolen from Trump.  Walter writes about all this as if Musk’s father, Errol, was “one of those people,” a conspiracy theorist with one foot into insanity.  The emphasis on the many mistakes Errol had made in his life was something that Walter wanted to make prominent, such as having children with his stepdaughter and Elon Musk and his brother being so upset that they refused to have continued relationships with their father.  But there is more to the story; intelligent people can’t ignore the evidence.  You can’t have corrupted software in society and expect everything to run right. The obvious problems with COVID and the 2020 election converted Musk to a less authoritarian government in America. He is now deeply committed to that pursuit, starting with the purchase of Twitter.  However, the definitions of success are the same, even if the means of getting there are varied.  And when people like President Trump are willing to put everything on the line to preserve our culture, and Elon Musk is signing up to be on your side of things, you open the door and let them in.  You open the door for them wisely, not linger on their past mistakes.  Be happy they have seen the light and are now on your team.  Logic dictates that people will discover the truth if only they can access it.  But it’s what happens after they find out it that matters most, and Elon Musk is now a tremendous advocate for a more capitalist society led by the United States and companies that are distinctly American, like Tesla and SpaceX.  And now, with Twitter being converted to Musk’s “X,” there are many opportunities for greatness that weren’t present before.  But they are now, which will impact the growth of the human race in the months and years to come.
