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.
Because he can and he wants to?
Elon was getting concerned we wouldn’t become a multiplanetary species.
I think it is because he recognizes America as the Last Great Hope.
Though I’m beginning to wonder about that, after the last four years and after all the reports of pure corruption.
He knows mankind is doomed without the USA being fixed.
Exactly.
Musk saw that the 2024 election would be our last free elections.
Millions of illegals would tip the balance and he knows from his home country what a 3rd world hellhole slide a nation can go into.
So he’s helping us.
But he’s also a ‘useful tool’ for Trump. Trump is using him a a blunt object and the ‘bad cop’ this his ‘good cop.’
The first 100+ days have already been planned out.
The greatest enemy of highly intelligent people is boredom.
The greatest therapy are challenges.
Musk is an intellectual genius.
Trump may not be an intellectual genius, but he is an emotional genius in that NO LEADER in my lifetime can read a room, read a country, read a globe like Trump.
Guys like Elon Musk just want to be left alone to build cars, or rockets, or tunnels, or whatever. Every roadblock he faced was regulatory red tape put in place by Democrats. And when they told him he couldn’t work during COVID, that was the last straw.
“Im hoping he looks at his own billions he gets from the federal government. It’d be nice if he cuts his welfare payments in half at least. That would show he’s serious about cutting government.”
If he just wanted government handouts and considering the businesses he’s in, he would have sided with the Democrats.
That’s good enough for me.
Nobody really understands stuff like that. He probably doesn’t even know.
The same reason Henry Ford would have fought tooth and nail to keep FMC out of the hands of a socialist government.
His idea was low-cost transportation for free people to go where they wanted.
He monetized that “assembly-line” idea for the good of mankind, not to simply give some jobs out.
He owned the means of production AND the profits.
He is an American Citizen who loves his Country.
Great insight, thank you
They both want to reduce the deficit by 1 or 2 trillion or just expose wasteful spending ?
What Welfare Payments are you referring to?
I think what people don’t understand about the ultra successful is that they love a challenge. I think it likely started when the EPA started giving Elon a hard time about his launches in Texas. He got angry because he had to fill out the same 500 page form for every launch. And they were literally all the same.
I guess you never know the little things that will touch off a “revolution.”
Some employees enjoy staying beyond, greet and truly enjoy helping all customers despite working past that 8+ hours. Genuine caring. Always remembering, “can I help you?”
Others, just go through the motion, ignore others, and can’t wait to leave. 🦟✖️
an african american ending slavery in today’s america should make interesting writing for the history books...
“ why EM is going all in for the USA.”
He has children, and he wants a future for them.
What enraged him was an ex wife turning one of his sons transgender.
He’s said his eyes were opened from hanging around with Trump and he views it as “the most important thing a person could do”.
Billionaire version of the red pill.
Plus Space-X has to jump through unimaginable bureaucratic hoops to fly.
For that reason and a whole host of others I hope he gets into the EPA scams as well.
