Thank you very much and God bless you.

First, politics is divisive. Get involved in politics and you're going to be tarnished. It happened to Trump. It would happen to Oprah. No surprise that it happened to Elon.

Second, it is very difficult for third parties to succeed in this country. This is why we have a "two party system." Other democracies, for various reasons, have several or even many meaningful political parties. Not us.

Those other countries are unstable politically, like Italy having an election every 6 months. However, in Europe, the bureaucracy is embedded and impossible to remove. In America, Trump had the will to fire bureaucrats, but that would not happen in a multiparty system, because that’s the source of stability in Europe.

Given Trumps recent tirades and about face I’ve learn with musk and trump that it took two to tango though I give musk a slight edge on irrational

They both need to have social media minders at least when dealing with the each other

It’s a wierd world where some very public figures will say anything

Course that was trumps only way to fight back at times

Many of us didn't even know who Elon Musk was in 2016.

The Musk brand was suffering greatly towards the end. People were doing stupid things to Cyber Trucks and Tesla dealerships. Musk isn’t the sole owner of Tesla so it was hurting others much more than it was hurting Musk. I think it was best to have a semi public spat and it seems to have worked perfectly. The fire bombings and keying of cars stopped immediately and Tesla seems to recovered intact. Proving once again, it matters what you do, not what you say.

Elons problem is he managed to alienate himself originally from the right, then the left , now he is in limbo.

So exposing his inner hatred for Trump hasn’t elevated his standings...not a question.
