It’s not Trump that I am concerned about but the so called conservative base. Musk has a conversation on X with Trump and conservatives are falling over themselves praising Musk. Go to any number of conservative websites and see the fawning. Saying he should be in Trump’s administration to cut government when Musk is the largest private contractor for government. Musk making such decisions is like the wolf guarding the hen house conflicts of interest galore.
It was a smart business decision to have Trump on X especially for the targeted 24-35 year old group.
Yes right now with the demo-fascist in the WH Musk has to be careful what he says not to offend his biggest customer. Corporations doing the majority of business with government got us in this mess. Look at the military industry complex or the IT communications industries for example. As the head of his companies Musk has to make good business decisions for his companies and given who their current client is it is not necessarily in the taxpayers’ best interest, even though the taxpayer is footing the bill. Like the subsidies for Tesla.
The most worrisome thing about Musk is the ring of satellites his company is putting around the planet. With the government being his client those satellites can be used for nefarious purposes, especially given how almost everything in our society has become internet and wireless dependent. That’s why I keep my wired phone.
Musk needs to ween his businesses off of the government otherwise he can never be trusted because he will be required to fulfill the needs of his client, government. A client that every 2 and 4 years changes or modifies their requests of Musk’s companies.

Hate to burst your bubble, but all virtually all wired phone calls pass through the same Internet you think you are avoiding.
NSA has everything, and have had it for decades. Once the data centers are built up for AI, they'll be able to analyze and act on it. The sheer volume has been our main protection.
The interview was not for us, but normies who don’t know much.
Thank you for putting Elon Musk in perspective for me.
I knew he was a democrat and used to wonder why all the fuss was being made over him, but I did not do due-diligence on his background info.
Of course, the best we can do is keep both eyes open, act when we need to and pray constantly.
I always enjoy your informative posts, guess I should have said that way before now.

Conservatives are so hard up for any teeny bone that glitters for 16 hours, that at this point they can’t assess the details!
Elon is the first and only global icon and Newsmaker willing to get crucified for a conversion, standing up and favoring Trump at all cost.
The price will soon be levied and practically infinite for Musk.
Trump was immensely pleased with and grateful to Elon.
I admit, I was relieved to see a universally powerful man pick up the breast plate, raise himself to attend to the aid of an endangered leader.
