    I think Elon musk is putting all of his and X’s eggs in the Trump basket. He is betting on Trump winning the election, X being the mouthpiece of the new system of government, and himself, Tesla, SpaceX, powerwall, and all of his other looney ideas being the beneficiary of government contracts and favors from the new regime just as looney as he is.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if he had this in mind for a long time. That’s probably ascribing him more intelligence that he has, but it goes with his Bond villain persona. Maybe it’s why he bought Twitter at a loss.

      Well I mean, it is. There’s a known network for homeschooling that’s based around wildly fascist views, actively teaching those values.
