And I do wish public figures like Elon Musk would set a better example in their personal lives. Not perfection — but upholding marriage…

+1. I don't get many Freepers' love of Musk. Until a few years ago many folks here hated him because he sold electric cars with government subsidies. He still sells electric cars and Tesla is still receiving government handouts, so what really changed?

He is no saint or paragon of conservatism BUT he has stuck his neck out for Trump and put his social reputation on the line even more than some so called Republicans have. His full throated endorsement of Trump following the first assassination attempt was a major historical moment.

Another turning point was him opening up about his transgender son and the trauma of woke.

But his most crucial contribution was taking ownership of Twitter and insuring/ensuring free speech to millions, and protecting the flow of information at a time when our government was turning Soviet.
