    I think Elon musk is putting all of his and X’s eggs in the Trump basket. He is betting on Trump winning the election, X being the mouthpiece of the new system of government, and himself, Tesla, SpaceX, powerwall, and all of his other looney ideas being the beneficiary of government contracts and favors from the new regime just as looney as he is.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if he had this in mind for a long time. That’s probably ascribing him more intelligence that he has, but it goes with his Bond villain persona. Maybe it’s why he bought Twitter at a loss.

      Trump is nothing to men with that kind of wealth and power. Especially one so bad at everything he does.

      Nah Elon is 100% another crazy narcissist with too much money, power, and yes men.

        You speak, for someone with the username asteriskeverything, with a lot of certainty about things I’m sure you know nothing about.

        However it’s nice to have your opinion.

          Alright man lol My username is a play on words, say it out loud. But I appreciate the clever call out on it lol. I’m sorry; it seems my my initial reply came off argumentive and/or challenging. I didn’t mean it like that and more just friendly healthy disagreement/discussion. I understand how hard that is to see on the internet, especially when everyone so often just seems to try to have some “gotcha, pwn11!!” comment
