I sincerely hope it’s for real, as Tulsa has been announced as one of the finalists for a new Tesla assembly plant. :-)

Maybe becoming a father did something.

I believe he has five boys with his first wife. I think Musk is a Libertarian maybe leaning a little more conservative these days.

Trump was a solid conservative in the late 70s who dreamed of running for President. Or at least that is what Roger Stone insisted to me at the time.

****

Standard issue poetic nonsense that gets repeated so often that some come to believe it has actual meaning.

And eventually, the leftists gain critical mass.

“The Matrix” came out in 1999 - 21 years ago.

Likely the modern idea came from “White Rabbit” - 1967, Grace Slick And the Jefferson Airplane:
“One pill makes you larger,
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you,
Don’t do anything at all.
Go ask Alice ...”

Which comes from the even older “Alice in Wonderland” - 1865, Lewis Carroll

Elon will go for any political system that lets him build his personal pyramids (electric cars & rockets).

elon musk I think believed that if he paid lip service to the left it would leave him and his business alone....it did not and now he is rethinking his relationship with the left.

Bill Gates, when he was in charge at Microsoft, never made political contributions to any political party. Eventually Clinton’s DNC paid him a visit and showed him the error of his ways. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was established and now Bill can’t STFU when it comes to his liberal crack-pot ideas.

He needs $$$ to get to Mars that is what Tesla, Boring Company, the satellites, the Battery stuff are all about.
Going to Mars is his life’s ambition.
