And now Elon wants to start a third party that would split conservative votes. How would that work out for the country? Elon might need to flee back to South Africa to escape the chaos he causes.

Is Elon morphing into Howard Hughes?

My take-away from the heart of the article ...

... Mainly, Elon deplored the failure to address the $36-trillion-plus national debt, widely recognized as a time-bomb on a short fuse liable to sink the whole USS United States. I will tell you a harsh truth: nobody will do anything about the national debt. The sheer math of our annual debt service is simply impossible. Our country is heading into some sort of bankruptcy proceeding, some kind of ferocious “work out” — as they say in the banking board-rooms.

Mr. Trump is betting that re-industrialization of the USA will produce enough of the right sort of growth — that is, production of real things of real value, as opposed to mere financial shenanigans — that the debt reckoning can be overcome somehow. Or mitigated. It’s a bold risk, and many pieces of the scheme are indeed falling into place: tariffs, bigly investment capital from foreigners, a general realignment of trade relations, tax reform, downsizing of government.

But a virulent opposition, the mad-dog remnants of the Democratic Party, seeks to wreck Mr. Trump’s program (and perhaps the USA altogether), and it is a miracle that the president has gotten this far with his plan. Personally, I’m doubtful that the energy resources will be there to underwrite this reindustrialization, but that is a topic for another day.

TESLA EV’S NEVER HAD A $7500 tax break.

ONLY THE OTHER AMERICAN COMPANIES HAD THAT.

TESLA CARS GOT $5,000 only....

WHY? BECAUSE TESLA IS NOT UNION.

ONLY UNION CAR COMPANIES GOT $7500.

This report would MAYBE tend to explain why there was an Epstein client list & then there wasn’t. Why would most of us know for sure that we were either being lied to or we were not being lied to? Somewhere there must be a group of people that are really skilled at keeping the general public & even the “experts” thoroughly confused. They know that after years have gone by, it becomes less & less important to the general public, especially since the “bad guy” is long gone.

Considering that Elon and Trump have been close friends for years, I think that this is some kind of theatrical show for some reason or purpose that is not yet clear.
