With some prominent Democrats and liberal pundits arguing for the party to try to win Elon Musk back to its side, you have to ask: Is American politics simply a matter of who can best kiss the ass of narcissistic reactionary billionaires?
Nah, IMO the Democrats are shitty enough as it is without the world’s richest zit getting involved.
Yea they suck. And he is a zit. But also rich.
Being rich makes all of his motives and desires suspect, if he told me the sky was blue then I’d assume he pulled some kind of Lex Luthor shit and turned it purple and green until I could check for myself.
That’s not the kind of person we want running the country. In fact, that is the kind of person who should be kept very far away from the political process except when it’s investigating reports of malfeasance at his companies.
