To all of the people who were claiming that the US can do whatever it wants...
...I wonder if Musk and his shareholders don't care about money from us liberal, woke, left wing Europeans? I suppose that is noble, being willing to destroy your brand for your ideals, no matter how half-baked. For someone like Musk, who mostly acts like money is the one true god, this is a bit of a mixed up philosophy. Perhaps he is not quite as smart as he thinks he is.
I wonder how long before Trump throws him under a bus.
- jimnotgym 2y agoReplying to myself. I see two scenarios. 1) When Trump needs a fall guy for skyrocketing inflation, or widespread protests about failing public services 2) There might be some Republican lawmakers who feel that they will need a career post Trump and will pick a time to demand Musk goes 3) Party funders will get sick of losing so much money in the turmoil and will demand a scapegoat
- actionfromafar 2y agoIn the end, does it matter what happens to Musk? He's just a general doing cavalry charges. The money strings behind all of this go way deeper, and Vance is firmly tied to them via Thiel and friends.
