Donald Trump and Elon Musk Have Something in Common

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have something in common…. “It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”

~Machiavelli

For Elon Musk it is the organization of Twitter with 7,500 employees dedicated to ensuring he would never succeed in his takeover effort. From the board of directors to the data engineers who build the controlling algorithms, to the third-party service providers who manage the data demand, there are likely only a handful of people within the entire corporation who would welcome the type of change Elon Musk represents....

snip...We The People attempted the Musk route when we sent President Donald Trump into Washington DC. However, instead of one institution with 7,500 people, it was dozens of institutions housing hundreds of thousands of entrenched ideologues. Most MAGA voters did not realize it at the time because grade school civics was never updated with our post-9/11 political outcome....snipSometimes I laugh at the hindsight of people who say Donald Trump had terrible judgement in his appointments. I snicker because these are the same people who said General James “Mad Dog” Mattis was the greatest military leader since George Washington. How did that role as defense secretary work out?

No wait, Trump could have done a better job against the 147,000 people in the United States Dept of State, extending like metastatic cancer around the globe from their primary origination point in foggy bottom DC.

Oh, I’m sure the Ron DeSantis advocates have a plan for that, just as assuredly as they can jump to the typeset to instruct Musk how to modify the personnel outlooks of the social media network. Something that involves the multi-billion global media corporations folding up shop to shift their ideological compass headings, right?

Maybe free cookies will help the kids who work 3 hours a week, smile as they adjust to a 40-hour expectation.

They are both successful?

As opposed to government bureaucracies?

They both took on an uphill battle against entrenched and immoral enemies. Hindsight tends to underestimate the difficulties faced.

Both are alpha male bulls who like to wander into different herds. Eventually they will butt heads. Too bad Musk was born in South Africa and is indelible for the Presidency. It would be some show watching Musk and Trump go at it.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have something in common

They are both "truth tellers"

Both believe in:

1. Saying what you are going to do

2. Do it

3. Prove it by results

That is both drive events based on ISO9000

Trump is the first ISO9000 president.

Presidents Truman, Ike, and Reagan tried to contain those evil bastards. Any containment or minimizing was offset by Potus Dems and Congressits with zero loyalty to America and Americans. The foggy bottom elite thugs became the swamp with loyalties to the world's elites, not America and us!

Thank you for posting that so that others can see the commentary on that post.
I apologize. I searched & went back through the posting to the 23rd to avoid a double post. So much for good intentions.

Spread the word my FRiend. The mods sometimes are a little touchy. LOL! I’ve gotten suspended more than once for “learn to search” or “search still works”. Even though it doesn’t sometimes. 🙂👍

> “learn to search” or “search still works”.

That’s about as helpful as “google is your friend.”
