I love the action and wholeheartedly support everything and more, as in, GO GO GO.
But the curious side of me is like, curious as to why EM is going all in for the USA.
What they did to his son would be enough to enrage any normal human male. I hope he goes after the Democrats and just absolutely guts them.
It’s a no brainer:
Good PR for him and his companies
He loves the USA
He wants to return stolen $$ to the people
With more money in the people’s hands, they spend more
It’s great PR for his AI - GROC is doing great things in this audit
MAGA means a Great America. We will be the envy of the world.
When Trump cures the waste, fraud, and abuse here, the rest of the world will want to emulate that.
Need I go on?
To save America so that he can get to mars.
.
Ego.
Megalomania.
Jesus complex.
Pick one.
Or two.
Maybe all three.
Altruism?
NOT A CHANCE.
The bigger worry is how large a crater will Elon leave when his bromance with Trump47 comes crashing down (and it will!!!!!!!).
Because he loves America like the rest of us non-Commies do?
Ah!
telepathy.
Movie Good Will Hunting 1997 film, scene Matt Damon responding to question by girl friend How do you do it? Matt Damon responds: it just comes to me.
I with out a doubt know that Elon Musk has that "IT."
If I may, I'm 72 yr's old, in my 8th grade math class, one day as usual being a punk, and talking in / during and disturbing class with my friend who I had known at this point for over a year.
Teacher call's on my friend to answer a math question. (purpose of the question was to make a FOOL out of my friend,) and embarrass him into paying attention in class.
OUT OF LEFT FIELD, I learn I've been hanging out with Albert Einstein. The guy never, never, never, said a word about math in any way shape / form etc.
My fiend goes up to the black board to keep it simple he does a GOOD WILL HUNTING on the teacher and the whole class, The teacher with his mouth WIDE opened after being shown how to do the problem seven different ways, tried to show he was still some what in authority, ASKED him to please sit down, does an about face looks at the black board for what seemed an extra 5 minutes in disbelief he just got BITCH SLAPPED for the first time in his Life.
With this exceptional MATH knowledge, all he wanted out of life was to ride his Harley Davidson Motorcycle. And that's what he did. P.S. That's what killed him.
What I'm trying to convey about Elon Musk is for him what he's doing with his knowledge, I would say he's just taking another couple days to cut your front lawn, no big deal, no thinking involved, just a minor process, anybody can do it (in his world only, not mine, I'm an idiot compared to him and my friend.)
“Then he doesn’t need it. I’d rather pay off the debt then give the riches guy in the world another penny.”
At the time he got the money he was not near rich and was almost broke. But he competed with everyone to get the nod for these grants and loans. Why single him out? Others have too. But don’t think worth as liquid cash. He’s like most rich people, he has worth, not cash.
BTW, as long as the government can’t balance a budget, the debt continues just by the interest alone. It’s hard to get a hand on a loss when you are spending more than you are getting in even though it should be enough. But don’t get me started on waste like the performing arts and he department of education. A list of losing moneyh organizatiuons and when they went over the falls is here from the GAO:
https://usafacts.org/articles/which-government-programs-are-considered-wasteful-or-inefficient/
In December 2022, Elon Musk’s net worth was about 37% derived from Tesla stock. His wealth comes from a variety of sources, including his stakes in Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter), as well as his other ventures. Musk owns about 13% of Tesla, 42% stake in SpaceX, and 79% of X, formerly twitter. A lot of the revenue he has is donated for tax purposes to companies like STEM school in Austin, Texas, and the XPRIZE Carbon Removal. So that money still coming in is going to expansion and further investments. There isn’t a major company in the world that stagnates and doesn’t invest. They go away.
Musk is a lot like Trump. He doesn’t have to play the politics game. What do you give to a man that can buy small countries in other continents? Maybe he just wants to help. Or maybe buy New Jersey. It needs help.

sometimes, people are in a position to set things right.
sometimes those people see some people taking advantage of others who may not, and cannot stand up by themselves to those people who are taking advantage of others and ruining life for others.
sometimes, because they can, sums up the actions of heroes.
Because it’s fun.
Great question.
The same reasons freeper’s love America.
The same reason people clamor to come here.
If we could export freedom to the rest of the world, just imagine.
