There could be all kinds of other factors, but I have been a Musk watcher for a decade and I have a theory on the timing.
There was a major shift in Musk’s public behavior, and his state residency, around the time he was about to have to pay a lot of CA state income tax.
Having to write a ten digit check to the government appears to make most people lose some of their rational thinking abilities.
They seem to go into a siege mentality for one thing.
It appears to me that humans are just not evolved to handle his level of wealth/resource disparity.
- rchaud 4y agoThe timing is precisely what tells me that Musk's actions are his alone. There is no right-hand person advising him from the shadows. Such a person would have told him that going on public rants about Democrats and switching his vote to Republican might have been convincing if it wasn't public knowledge that his political donations already favoured the GOP.
