- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary.

Honestly, I am tentatively very excited about this. Not because I support that nazi in any way whatsoever. I am excited because he stands to be a significant spoiler for the GOPs elections.
He will pull a Joe Rogan and endorse Trump last minute.
Doubtful that the Musk party is going to swap in Hillary. But it is her turn.
Do they even really like him? I thought pretty much any Republican support for Elon came from his support/association with Trump
I'm a secret leftist amongst a bunch of low information MAGA voters (the ones that voted for Trump more because they're stupid and easily duped than being giant racists) in a few different circles. All they know is I own guns and answer "oh fuck no" when asked if I'm a liberal, so they assume I'm a non-MAGA conservative*. Hehehe.
Without exception, they adore Elno. They don't realize it but they're prosperity gospel types (because stupid), so they assume he must be a good and intelligent guy, otherwise Jebus wouldn't have made him successful.
*Side note: I have one all hot and bothered about seizing the means of production, just using different terms.
I learned "libertarian municipalist" as a code word for anarchist from Robert Evans. You don't have to lie and all they hear is libertarian.
hah ! love my new title
I will agree with this.
on one hand, harder to defeat them in a vote because they'd be way more visibly in touch with the incel crackhead core of their voting block. on the other, dude is at least environmentally concerned enough to try avoiding climate and technology crisis as long as the solution benefits/involves him. which is a low fucking bar but still an improvement.
I highly doubt it. GOP is a person cult centred around Trump. They liked Musk as long as Trump liked him, but they all hate him now.
