They backed him 100%.
But now that he is going after the rich and powerful they will destroy him.

(25,473 posts)Musk is heading into very dangerous waters, I assume he's aware of this even if only because some of his drugs make him paranoid. He'll need to stay on the ground floor and brew his own tea for a while.

And Musk isn't going after rich and powerful. He is angry he lost his access and ability to grift .

(1,227 posts)If a person thats poor or middle class is the victim of fraud or deceit, rarely is any enforcement taken against the perpetrators, but if its a wealthy investor that loses their money you better believe the full force of the justice department will come after the people responsible for it.
The financial crisis in 08 should have thought us that. Not one bank was ever prosecuted. Oh and then with the FTX collapse.
The problem here is that Musk has all the money and hes usually the huckster. Both him and the GOP have been using each other. Trump was right about questioning one thing in his tweet (cant believe I said that).
Why have democrats been so intent on enriching this man? Hes a one man recipient of corporate welfare.

Trump is Taco. Musk knows this. Musk on thr other hand is the guy that bought Twitter when it was a terrible idea financially, keeps that stupid boring company afloat so he can claim it is a success . . . Musk doesn't back down. He just buys his way out of problems. And Musk might be more fucking crazy than Trump.
