Scoop: Musk tells GOP elite to be more compassionate
Axios ^ | 08/17/2022 | Hans Nichols

Posted on 08/18/2022 6:27:13 AM PDT by Jan_Sobieski

Elon Musk told GOP congressional leaders and big-dollar donors on Tuesday that Republicans need to present a more compassionate front to voters and appeal to immigrants like himself, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: While Musk has been publicly flirting with the Republican Party all year, his attendance at an exclusive GOP retreat in Wyoming marks a new level of involvement in helping the party define its agenda and prepare for its potential takeover of the House.

Driving the news: Musk offered a robust defense of capitalism in addition to some political advice at House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's annual donor retreat in Jackson, where the billionaire CEO of Tesla was a personal guest of McCarthy’s.

With the Grand Tetons behind them, the potential next Speaker of the House led a Q&A session with the potential next owner of Twitter. McCarthy has built a relationship with Musk over a decade and introduced him as the "Thomas Edison of our time," framing the discussion around how he built successful companies like Tesla and SpaceX.

Across the state, primary voters were rejecting Rep. Liz Cheney, who by the end of the night would be overwhelmingly defeated by her Trump-backed challenger.

What they're saying: Musk suggested that the country would prosper if Republicans "stayed out of people's bedrooms" and Democrats stayed "out of people’s wallets," according to attendees…

Musk suggested that the country would prosper if Republicans "stayed out of people's bedrooms

Many fell for this ruse in the 90s. Now in 2022 our children are being inculcated into transgender mental illness in public schools and groomed by sodomite teachers in LGBTQI clubs and Drag Wueen Story hour. We are forced to celebrate “perversion pride month” under duress, and we’re the problem?! If we would just stay out of Sodomite bedrooms everything would be fine?!?

Musk is out of touch, a plant, or both.

According to Trump, Musk is a BS artist. I’ll go with Trump.

Unfortunately, "people's bedrooms" won't stay out of OUR lives.

This is my take on Musk. He’s kind of a troll who is occasionally entertaining.

“Musk is out of touch, a plant, or both.”

I think Musk is a scam artist. I went looking for a particular video that documented every time Musk addressed self-driving vehicles. It covered every time he addressed the subject over most of a decade and it was always going to be by some time at the end of the year. When I searched for Musk/scammer I found quite a few videos. I think the world has had the wool pulled over their eyes mostly because they wanted to believe. Here is the link.

Compassion does not mean acquiescence to the gay/trans/leftist agenda.

Anyone else wondering just what went on during Musk’s recent absence from Twitter...

"Compassionate Conservatism is neither. "

Now there's a[nother] stupid...

Is this something you heard someone say once and then repeated without understanding what it means?

His call for compassion towards immigrants (like him) is a bit off since he is legal.
Border walkers are criminals. In any other country they’d be in prison before being kicked back across to where they belong.

Get in line, fill out the forms, pass the tests: WELCOME, new citizen. Otherwise, bugger off.

How exactly do you do that when the media puts people's bedrooms on TV at every level.

So Musk is suggesting that the Republican Party must engage in identity politics, where all people are cast into subgroups (the same way Democrats do). I say GO TO HELL!

Why don’t he just buy both parties? I am sure he can buy most of Congress, its only a matter of the right price.

Yep. The guy has 3 citizenships and is heavily funded by our government. $5 billion by 2015. This isn't the person the GOP should seek advice from.

**I think Musk is a scam artist.**

Fully agree.

And he's the exact type of person I can't stand. Like Rogan. A person who you know, know exactly what is up. They start looking like, with their large platforms, they are going to be vocal about it. Help move the overton window.

Then, they say or do something that is a complete 180. Like when Rogan said, "we'd be f-ed without the elites"

Musk is exactly the same.

I’m what respect are Republicans in anyone’s bedroom? Meanwhile, bedroom? How about rest stops, public bathrooms, and the other places these perverts congregate?
The “private bedroom” argument is leftover garbage from the 90s.
