Social Media Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Elon Musk's increasing vocal opposition to President Biden and the Democratic Party is a significant shift in his political stance, with implications that stretch far beyond the realm of social media spats. While Musk has not explicitly endorsed former President Trump, his public statements and social media activity indicate a growing alignment with Trump's messaging and policies, particularly on issues like immigration. Immigration has emerged as a central focus of Musk's political discourse, with him espousing conspiracy theories alleging that Biden is deliberately facilitating illegal immigration to bolster Democratic political power. Musk's characterization of immigrants as security threats and his dire warnings about the consequences of Democratic victories underscore the intensity of his opposition. This shift in Musk's political views began to surface notably in 2022 when he disclosed his Republican vote for the first time and expressed support for figures like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. He framed his political stance as a rejection of "woke" culture and a defense of what he perceives as the future of civilization. This evolution coincided with his relocation of Tesla from California to Texas, driven in part by concerns over taxes and COVID policies. However, Musk's recent fixation on illegal immigration as a key battleground issue suggests a deepening commitment to aligning himself with right-wing narratives and priorities. His warnings of a socialist takeover and predictions of national security threats further illustrate his growing alignment with Trump's rhetoric. Despite his past reluctance to embrace traditional partisanship, Musk's political influence is undeniable, especially given his status as the CEO of SpaceX, a major government contractor. While his skepticism of Trump's stance on climate change and potential alignment with third-party candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. present some uncertainty, Musk's anti-Biden crusade and his platform's transformation into a bastion for right-wing discourse signal a significant shift in his political influence. As the 2024 election approaches, Musk's political evolution will undoubtedly continue to shape the political landscape, raising questions about the intersection of technology, business, and governance in an increasingly polarized political climate. 20.03.24 Source 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tgw Posted March 20 Popular Post Share Posted March 20 (edited) so, he gave Starlink to Ukraine and then a little later, started interfering and becoming more pro-Russian and pro-Trump. I wonder what kompromat Putin's got on Musk, but I'm also pretty sure Musk was already a prick before. His move to buy Twitter is also highly suspect in this light.

Popular Post arithai12 Posted March 21 Popular Post Share Posted March 21 Question to forum administrators (not a criticism, hope you won't ban me): why is this in the World News? Don't we have a specific "Country Forum" for US, UK matters? thinking also of the latest Trump/Harry oh so interesting news. The Elon Musk stance might, just barely might, be a world news, but the reality is that this thread will see the usual Rep/Dem attacks which really are not. 3 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither candidate is of a high calibre. But one is clearly less substandard than the other. Not an ideal situation, but if the choice for dinner is Mama noodles or mouldy cat food, I'll hold my nose, eat the noodles and hope for filet mignon tomorrow. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 "When it comes to Trump's mounting legal bills that he's accrued through his slew of lawsuits, Musk said he won't be assisting with any of his debt nor contributing monetarily to Trump's presidential campaign. “I'm not paying his legal bills in any way, shape or form … and he did not ask me for money,” Musk said." from "Elon Musk Insists He’s Not Funding Trump: ‘I’m Not Paying His Legal Bills in Any Way,’ The Wrap by Raquel 'Rocky' Harris March 19, 2024 At Face Value and all of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
