        The difference is that Musk doesn’t depend on Trump to remain relevant (or solvent). All those others absolutely do: They were nothing before Trump, and nothing without him.

          Musk definitely depends on government contracts for his companies. If Trump cancels those all his companies will take a big hit which in turn will take a big chunk off his net worth which is propped by shares in those companies. If his net worth substantially goes down he may run into issues getting credit which will affect him directly. Elon Musk uses his stock to take loans to fund his personal expenses among other things.

    I do not like that Elon Musk.

    Never uttered a word I believe or trust.

    He has fathered and fled more kids than Nick Cannon.

    With a soul and heart more grotesque than Steve Bannon.

    When he goes to jail the world will dance.

    Until then we can smile as he pisses his pants.

            This is another point that can be used as an argument against Machiavelli’s philosophy. It was well-written, but I’m not sure a prince should trust the advice of a guy his family threw in prison. The Prince might be chock full of intentionally written bad advice for all we know. …such as always take a side to form allies, rather than Sun Tsu’s approach of allowing them to exhaust themselves without interfering.

              That’s at least partially because of Italian philosophy as a whole, picking sides is great when you are the biggest monster on the field like say the Romans but once you aren’t? Well better to bunker down and focus on other things like say trade. Worked great for Denmark, Switzerland, and historically Scotland.

      Elon’s only concern is those government handouts his companies have been getting.

      He doesn’t care about the trillions in US debt, people losing health insurance or anything that doesn’t affect him.

      The best use of a Tesla, is having it on fire and blocking ICE traffickers.

      …honestly, that might actually be a good way to protect our communities. Teslas would make for a decent gatehouse barricade at anti-trafficking checkpoints. Nothing of value is lost if a ICE vehicle tries to force their way through.

    He’s gonna be the first person denaturalized for his “nazi rhetoric” as a theatrical farce of normalizing deporting US citizens. It’ll be in a “this is what u dem’s asked for” way with tv propagandists showing hand selected tweets calling for musk’s deportation from liberal pfp accounts.
