    Even right wingers don’t like musk unless they’re into crypto or finance shit. Literally nobody authentically likes him.

    This is not beneficial to Trump, the only person possibly gaining from this relationship is Musk and it’s because he’s less popular than Benjamin Netanyahu.

      What I love about all of this is that Elon pretended to be an impartial bystander on the sidelines who was undecided. Even though he publicly feuded with the Biden administration he never explicitly endorsed Trump. And then the shooting happened and Trump’s chances of winning surged so he went all in on what seemed like a sure bet. And now all of those hopes are crumbling and he’s left holding the bag, much like Tesla’s investors.

      The irony is that Trump’s popularity boost from the shooting is ultimately his undoing. I think Biden would have stayed on the ticket otherwise which favors Trump. No one expected unpopular Kamala to get such a huge boost. And with Walz as the VP it really looks like they’ve got it locked up.
