Does anyone has a logical explanation of why Elon is supporting Trump? Why is he going to this length, alienate many of his supporters by supporting an political party. What’s is the end goal, since nothing makes sense right now.

    Money.

    Democrats are pressured by their base (see overwhelming majority of Americans) who wanna see the rich be taxed more and pay a fair share as well as delve into the very clear financial corruption in our government.

    Musk, Trump, Bezos, and the other rich fucks like Peter Thiel or Miriam Adelson actively lose if this sort of policy is passed. Trump is literally the rich person candidate

    It’s money always is.

  • Because Vivian Jenna Wilson transitioned.

    It really is that simple.

    Before that event Apartheid Manchild was a dick, but mostly of the poorly-socialized technonerd variety. Still a dick, but not perceived by most as being a threatening dick.

    After that event, where he coined (to my knowledge) the phrase “the woke mind virus”, he jumped deep into the MAGA swill.

    Before that event he was kinda/sorta hailed as a “real world Tony Stark” but never really particularly accepted. People liked his products (well, let’s be honest: product) and otherwise didn’t give much of a shit about him.

    After he went Full Metal MAGAt he became the object of worship and adoration of fellow MAGAts on Twitter (before he bought it, even), getting the uncritical acceptance he’d always craved and never really got.

    And it turns out he wants to feel like he “belongs” more than he wants to sell shit.
