Summary
Democratic strategist Chai Komanduri claims Elon Musk has “taken over” MAGA and the Republican Party, likening it to how Trump originally took control of the GOP.
Musk, a former Biden supporter, shifted to Republicans over disagreements on free speech, immigration, and public health.
Now a close Trump ally, Musk has donated $75 million to pro-Trump groups and will co-lead the “Department of Government Efficiency” to reduce government waste.
His rising influence in GOP politics is seen as positioning him as a potential MAGA successor.
If only he remembered that he used to care about climate change. Or at least pretended to.
He made everyone think he did, what he cares about were the government subsidies.
BTW: I still see bots on various social networks promote him as some kind of genius, a lot of us got fooled.
It’s comforting to think that they’re all bots. The uncomfortable truth is that there’s a type of guy who made idolising Musk as the Visionary Techno-Genius his entire personality, and some of them are still around and posting.
I have a thought that perhaps he’s done the meth, realized how far off the mars goals are, looked at the state of climate and how far gone it is regardless of intervention and decided to hell with all of it.
A super accurate typo.
Ketamine bruh.
That’s something I don’t get. The amount of work and change required to make Mars livable for humans is insane and we still don’t even know if it is possible. The amount of change required to fix our planet’s climate is minuscule in comparison. They want to terraform a planet that is completely hostile to human life and yet we can’t even get our own planet’s average temperature down by 1 degree.
Musk is the type of guy who thinks the key roadblock in any problem is that he isn’t in charge. It’s harder to be in charge of Earth than it is to be in charge of Mars.
If there’s anything all these lying rich guys have in common, it’s that they say and agree with the last thing someone they want something from said. They just echo ideas that get traction and ride the wave.
