Well Elon sees the democrats are acting very Orwellian socialist. People like Elon disappear under the rule of such people. Too much of a threat when they don’t want to go along with the program.
If Trump and Musk were alive in 1776 their names would have appeared on the Declaration of Independence. At the time, signing that document was a radical act. The signers of that document put their personal safety, their wealth, and their lives literally on the line to create a new nation. I doubt if that fact is taught in any of our schools today.
Excellent points.
Our system provided so much from Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and so many after them who benefited the whole world. Only freedom and reward for innovation provides that. Not communism, “taxing the rich” and censorship. China and Japan grew using what we invented, not the other way around.
But at least Elon is seeing it - although a WAY bit late in the game. Just like investments...if you don't get invested early, it become REALLY expensive to make gains late in the game.
Like the founders put everything on the line back in the day, so must the freedom loving upper echelons of our society. Mom and Pop investment only goes so far - their meager amounts don't buy much clout individually. But a large, freedom loving investor can move mountains....ala Trump. He has appeared to put his whole fortune on the line - and his life. Will Elon? Will Thiel? Will others?
I have. I went totally all in back in 2010 for US House in the ‘Obama’ era. Very few wanted to listen. Some did and ran for office themselves, which was great to see. I think I helped others develop a more Constitutional mindset. But my money and time ran out. We are all definitely on someones list - so I continue to do what I can, but it's a smaller effort compared to 2010 to 2014 for me.
