Excellent piece of perception there. Occam's razor. If it acts like a duck, it is a duck.

Elon Musk can only add value to Trumps America First policies and has the support of 76M voters.Trumps MAGA dream team is well accoladed and poised now to execute stunning improvements and nation building in America and will likely shatter and set new records for achievement. Elon Musk is super human and nothing can stop him it seems from producing net beneficial gain in everything he touches day after day. America's intrinsic , extrinsic value is increasing more each day since Nov 5 2024. You can thank Trump for this diametric about face to rebuild and restore her back to highly revered old glory. Trumps back and so is America.

Musk is an impressive entrepreneur.

 

However, the personality characteristics that makes a good entrepreneur and innovator, are not the same as the necessary skills to manage a mature and established business such as Twitter. This failure was expected from the start.

He doesn't care. He bought it to get Trump elected and influence the tenor of speech in the US for years to come. This is what happens when megalomaniac nut cases become oligarchs.

Few prominent people in the world are more right wing. The secretive ones who deny until they don't ar ethe most dangerous.

 

Musk funded right-wing political non-profit years before he endorsed Trump

Musk’s donations to the groups were kept quiet, Reuters and the Wall Street Journal reported. He funneled money through social welfare groups that are not required to disclose their donors. People involved in his donations to Citizens for Sanity would use Signal, an encrypted messaging app, to discuss the transactions, the Wall Street Journal reported.

If it was in the Guardian and Reuters so it must be true!

Note that "sources" say it yet they don't divulge the names of the "sources".

Of course they don't.

The substance of what they say is what matter, not the perceived reputation of the sources.

But X is still running smoothly with 80% of the staff gone. That was a HUGE cost saving. I doubt Elon will worry about it that much.

Very funny!! He bought it to restore the 1st amendment and stop the government censorship.

He was never worried about it. That's the distortion of economics when the oligarchs want to seize power.

And?

He is the richest man on earth, sends rockets into space and also lands them, has it effected him in a bad way, Where is your rocket?

You said he was a 'ketimine' user but implied it in a derogatory way... I don't see any negatives, can you show some, you think he is u fit to streamline the bloated government agencies?

So basically, you have nothing to say. He bought it, sacked 80% of the waste and it efficient... and what?

What power did he seize... a corrupted left wing activist agency and made it neutral?

And Musk is the richest person on the planet and soon to be trillionaire and free speech thrives  on twitter/x for $44B in chump change for Elon. Brilliant, and look who's entering office as 47th, thanks to contributions from the best brains in the country including Elon. The guy is super-human. Outstanding achievements BUT twitter revenue is down....lol....

This potential Trump nomination for FBI director will turn the FBI into a deep state museum. Awesome pick. Same guy who witnessed Trump asking for 10,000 national guard troops ahead of his Jan 5 speech at the Ellipse. They don't come any more loyal and capable than Kash Patel.

The nonsensical hyperbole never ends.

Musk is South African. It would not be a surprise if he and his family was/is a supporter of the apartheid regime in his home country the way he now appear as an extreme right wing politician.

 

He was not a supporter of apartheid. It is unfair to even accuse him of something for which he was not even remotely connected. He immigrated to Canada at age 17, joining  the large South African community who had fled the oppressive South African regime. His father's opposition to apartheid is well documented. He was raised in a home that was not  supportive of the  apartheid system. Musk is driven by ego and by  profit making opportunity. He doesn't care who he deals with if it means he gets what he wants.

As opposed to the extreme left wing politician Biden and Kamala? Musk is an extremely talented man that has the potential to save the U.S. tax payers millions, perhaps billions of dollars of wasted funds generated by the socialist Democrats. Over seventy two million Americans voted for Trump to make American great again.

 

Biden is not extreme left, nor is Harris. It shows a profound ignorance of political ideologies to make that statement. 

Yes, there is a predominance of red, but that is it. It is deceitful to claim that this demonstrates a dominance of Republican views. Rather , what it shows is a reflection of the USA's population distribution.  73,736,432 Americans still voted for the Democratic candidate. In some districts the margin was less than 1%.

Ignoring 48% of the US population is folly. Arrogance and bullying is what will result in a blow out in the US midterm elections in 2 years. It has happened previously and will happen again.
