You're calling me ignorant for being aware of Elon's long game?

Unless you have inside info on the inner workings of his brain, this is stupid.

He bought twitter for 2 reasons:

1) To combat as he calls it the "Woke mind virus"

and the most important to him

2) Ever since his days of creating Zip2, which eventually merged and became what Paypal is, he wanted a central location like WeChat is in China. He thinks that moves society ahead and Twitter already had the infrastructure to move in that direction.

He attempted to kill 2 birds with one stone and yes, he overpayed by Billions.

You said this

He's literally playing a side to enrich himself further lol, I'm not saying this is a bad thing, it's what anyone of his stature would do.

He could’ve left Twitter alone and stayed on the dark side and prob would’ve been richer and life would’ve been better for him.

Where’s the confusion?

Eta a grifter by definition doesn’t do things to hurt themselves.

Ok, think this thread was derailed enough...

But again, back to the original post

He’s anti-progressive and that’s good enough for me.

Some people don’t even know what the definition of grifter is by evidence of this post.

A grifter is a con artist: someone who swindles people out of money through fraud.

Tell us how this fits Elon.

He still does this even though he makes Tesla's which if Trump cuts back on tax credits to green energy, $7,500 I believe for citizens if they buy a Tesla (new I believe), could end up hurting his sales


He actually stated cutting them would help Tesla. Because the subsidies are the only way other brands can viably make EV’s, where he can make them better and more efficient without.

He is for free market. He does not want EVs forced he captures the market that wants them.

No he is not. He is a classical liberal, like Trump.

It’s just the middle has moved so far left, the old left is now the extreme right.

That’s what is scary.. that a centrist is demonized as a right wing reactionary by the media.. a narrative, no matter how logically flawed, that the sheepish masses embrace with unquestioning loyalty and fervor

Elon is obviously a brilliant mind, but has been very naive at times. He voted for Biden because he thought Trump's rhetoric was divisive and thought we needed a more uniting figure. Then he realized Biden and the Democrats as they are now are as divisive as it gets (to go along with the bad policy).

Biden was also dismissive of Musk even though he claimed he wanted to get rid of gas cars. Very odd.

Musk saw the light and is on the Trump train. And he really doesn't give a shite about how much money he has at any one point or how much he loses, so that makes him interesting. He lives in a 50 thousand dollar house. He lives for ideas and often talks about the survival of humanity. He actually cares about the future (and doesn't fake caring about it like most of Hollywood or like most people in political parties on both sides). He's a unique figure.
