In December 2016, Musk had a private meeting with Trump, during which he was “baffled” by the then-president-elect’s comments about Tesla and NASA.
“He seems kind of nuts,” Musk said after the meeting, according to Isaacson, “but he may turn out okay.”
On the contrary: Musk “concluded that Trump as president was no different than he was as a candidate,” Isaacson wrote. “The buffoonery was not just an act.”
“Trump might be one of the best bullshitters ever,” Musk told Isaacson. “If you just think of Trump as a sort of con-man performance, then his behavior sort of makes sense.”
... Musk told Isaacson that Trump should remain banned from Twitter if he was “engaged in criminal activity” — and even said he believed Trump was.
“I want to avoid the bullshit disputes about Trump,” Musk said. “If he’s engaged in criminal activity — it seems increasingly that he has — that’s not okay.”
“It’s not free speech to subvert democracy,” Musk said.
Then one day, in a “feisty mood” according to Isaacson, Musk posted a poll asking if Trump should be reinstated. The poll was close but the ayes had it, and Musk promised to reinstate the former president.
“I’m not Trump’s fan,” Musk told Isaacson that day. “He’s disruptive. He’s the world’s champion of bullshit.”

2 peas in a pod.
The order of the two individuals involved here was done alphabetically by last name:
When Musk gets Americans back to the Moon again with a Staging Base to get American Humans on to Mars and far sooner and for way less money than nasa could ever dream of doing.
When President Donald J. Trump is returned to the task of rebuilding America again by running things like a Business that has a balanced checkbook, gets these jacka$$e$ trying to destroy America and the World back under control, finally gets the Border Fence completed and actually has a Secure Border around America, putting America back at the top of the Petroleum Production, Reserves, prices lowered again for We the People, has the rest of the World BUYING AMERICAN PETROLEUM, drains the swamp/deep state scumbags and fixes AGAIN all the things that have been destroyed by the demonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminazipedophilegoatrapers in the last few years.
I will say that Musk has the easiest of the two lists IMO.
So did Trump, who negotiated tax breaks and favoritism, and took advantage of bankruptcy law, throughout his real estate career.
*******************************
Oh, do tell...
TRUMP has risked his entire life’s work and accomplishments to serve.
He is a strong patriot.. Values this country and our greatness.
He handles enemy nations well.. They may not like him but they respect his strength.
He had a wall in progress to protect us from an invasion
He didn’t spend us into oblivion.
He didn’t give the enemy 6 billion in ransom..
He didn’t take a salary.. He donated it.
A man with his strengths, saving our country.. Doing so with a giving heart.. I salute.. And any idiosyncrasies I will gladly give a pass.
No person is perfect. To dwell on ones imperfections is treating them as a scapegoat. Scapegoating is a frame-up when done so.
From what I’ve seen of Musk running X, it’s a radical departure from the Twitter days when anyone had almost free access to almost all content.
Today, Musk does NOT want random people reading X tweets unless somebody pays for watching those tweets. Sure, he’ll let you access the X commentator, but you are only shown old tweets you don’t care about.
I support Trump because he is his own man and he delivers on campaign language.
Other ‘politicians’ just blather away ... then get in office and it’s
‘business as usual’
The betrayal of voters is what all the others are about. Not Trump
Same can be said of Musk: Mr. Free Speech hired the WEF executive as CEO of Twitter.
Elons analysis here isn’t rocket science, but it may help getting his projects off the ground.
As a champion of Bee Ess himself, Musk ain’t far behind him.
“Musk is an engineer” who is dependent on Biden’s Government for subsidies, agency approvals and an anti oil policy.
Uh, Musk is owned by Chinese money.
Well that’s that! If Musk doesn’t like Trump he must be bad right?
Go away.
Oh BTW your changes at Twitter were largely cosmetic and renaming it X is now the biggest change.
Yup! Trump wasn't a Military Establishment patsy unlike Biden and Bush.
Instead Trump had the military take out Soleimani with a pin point strike at the Baghdad Airport.
Woke Military went on steroids with Pervert Biden at the helm.

Musk unearthed huge swathes of publicly therapeutic truth by buying Twitter.
Ask Matt Taibbi if he thinks Musk has good points. Surely he would say, yes.
We will never leave the environs of Earth. All of that interplanetary business is a waste of time or at best a means to another, perhaps unrelated or loosely-related end.
Takes a P.T. Barnum to know a P.T. Barnum. No?
Uh, Musk is owned by Chinese money.

Yah huh, sure thang, right, convince yourself of that.
I stay away from most everything else online.
I do recall reading comments on Twitter some years ago. Sewer…
