It was far from obvious at the time, but this was one of the major inflection points of human history.

The richest man on Earth is a Republican, a loyal MAGA/Trump Republican. Let that 'sink' in....
We have a new hero,and a new reality.
We can call it Elonity. A new city on a hill, for those who need one.But please spare me any Utopian wet dreams.That’s what ruined the democrats and turned them into fascists.
I am glad President Trump has him for a friend.He is a modern Benjamin Franklin.
Although he has done some good things I don’t completely trust him. He is an opportunist and is capable of the unexpected. I think he is capable of handing us bones to satisfy us and keep the dogs off but has deeper maybe even nefarious end goals.
He is literally building the proverbial “Skynet” tracking system as we speak. He is chumming up with the most powerful leader in the most powerful country in the world. What is in it for him? What is the personal end goal of it all? The way he is going he might someday rule the world.
100% correct.
Trump - once again -deserves credit for bringing him into the fold
Many would spurned him.
Trump has changed politics. There will never be another like him
I understand your concerns and he’s got an eye on lots of juicy gov’t contracts I’m sure.
But I think he’s sincere when he talks about free speech and other principles
He’s a capitalist. What’s wrong with that?
I have competed personally with him for the attention and favor of a famous movie star.
I won. And he was a perfect gentleman about matters.
I respect him greatly. A brilliant manager and an ethical person.
Trust but verify.
I dont fully understand him so, therefore, I don’t entirely trust him. He’s got CCP ties for his electric cars. I am, however, thankful that he has been around to help us win the election and agree, his buying Twitter, which allowed some truths about Russiagate and J6 to come out, helped tremendously. Time will tell.
“Although he has done some good things I don’t completely trust him.”
I’m right there with you.
I saw his energy change when he stepped in front of the cheering crowd at Madison Square Garden at the Trump rally. He got a taste of the high one can get being in the spotlight. That can poison a person very fast.
Then when I add Vance and Thiel, and Bessnet and Soros, there is a pattern I see that concerns me.
That phrase never made any sense to me. If you truly trust someone then there is no reason to verify. Like saying I trust you honey but let me see your phone what’s the code?😂
Since humans are failed and fallen and govts simply can’t be trusted. Present US govt is exhibit A
Maybe better version is I will believe you, but I expect you will break your promise, agreement…. So I will be keeping an eye one you.
lol maybe saying the same thing😎
Musk seems to be on the up and up, but as I said we are all failed and fallen. A benevolent leader, person… often changes for the worse.
As the saying goes power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely or the road to hell is paved in good intentions.
King David is a good example of this.
So I have hopes and prayers for Elon and Trump, but I am prepared to be disappointed
WTS, I believe the turning point in the stranglehold on information and narrative was musk buying twitter, and this may very well be a case of people so rich that they will do the right thing.
We will see
I’ve adored Trump from his ride down the elevator. I trusted him implicitly, even as he made mistakes in judgement with some politicians that HE trusted too soon. But even when his trust led to all the attacks on him, the trust in Trump was justified by the strength of his character that showed over and over again. The man who loved to watch fights took punch after punch and never went back to his corner or gave up. His vision of what he was fighting for was perfect and that kept him on his feet even when they tried to kill him. Politics is, in truth, a game to the death.
So I haven’t wavered once in my belief in Trump. He’s everything I originally thought him to be, and he’s given me hope.
Then Elon Musk showed up on the fringes of Twitter. It took a while to wonder about his motivations, all the while believing this was an Einstein of capitalism. And then his character, too, began exposing itself. He looked to Trump and in that moment of truth when Trump rose to his feet, bloody and unbowed, Musk saw what we saw. And it was his Come to Trump moment. And he had something besides just brilliance. Musk had money. And just as Trump put himself on the line over and over again, Musk put HIS money on the line over and over again.
Musk wants humanity to more than survive. He wants it to thrive. And he turns out babies as hopes for the future. This guy is rapidly becoming a second hero to me. And the longer he stands next to our George Washington, he’s recognizing that the path to the future for HIS children is the man we’ve been trusting from early on. As Candor7 says, he’s becoming GW’s Benjamin Franklin. Brilliant observation.
History does, indeed, some to revolve around individuals who create the moments in which history turns. Trump has been that individual and now he has a VERY rich wingman who can put major money behind a dream of what the future can be. And we’re watching history turn.
Just let us survive whoever is pulling Biden’s strings toward WW III until January 20th.
some to revolve ==> seem to revolve
Sigh
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Not really. Elon is a CIA front, and Twitter is as controlled as ever, just they have switched to conservative mouthpieces because they sensed the winds were shifting that way. But all the conservative mouthpieces you see there are controlled.
Vox Day still has not had his account restored. I have had multiple tweets deleted with no comment from Twitter, and people cannot see other posts of mine. Most relate to CIA attacking Bill Binney in his home with directed energy weapons, as Bill describes here, so it is most likely CIA running the censorship there.

Try posting that video on your account, and watch how long it takes them to either delete it or shadowban it.
And @imdutchsinse was just given a lifetime ban due to his own issues with the American Stasi, and all his account was about was a method of predicting earthquakes, but he had too big an audience.
Elon is a scam, and will be remembered like the Bushes some day. Don’t fall for the show they present to you,
I was wary of Trump when he first decided to run in 2015. Mostly because I only knew of him superficially through the media. For the most part he associated himself with the left in NYC prior to that decision. As the primaries unfolded I was won over to him. He is far from a perfect person, candidate or leader but way better than anyone else on the current scene. Musk is a bit of a weirdo to me but one cannot deny his accomplishments. While weird he doesn’t grate upon me like some billionaires and he has a sense of humour I like.
Yes he was quite liberal in the past or mostly moved in those circles
But he’s done more for conservatives than many alleged lifelong fake ones have,.
It’s ironic and I’m kind of grateful.
“He is a modern Benjamin Franklin.”
That’s a great observation. And X is his version of “Poor Richard’s Almanac”.
I was talking about the president in my other post to you, not Musk.
Jury still out for me on Musk but I think he’s sincere and should be welcomed if possible.
Trump welcomed him into the fold it was a fortunate opportunity. Those bills will be paid.
Musk also did some good work in the swing states with his own operation.
Whether he sticks around I dont know.
HOORAY Elon!
Trump’s opponent raised and spent $1 billion
The bought-off-military-industrial complex candidate.
Thank God she did not prevail but you see the dark money is very telling.
I don’t blame Trump for reaching out to these billionaires they mostly seek prestige in a government post or ambassadorship.
Its been going on for years.
