A benevolent dictator is far better than the system that rules us.
I kind of agree with you that Musk has strayed far more into the political world than anyone would have thought before.....I think the progressives helping to trans his boy was the catalyst..but then again other billionaires have gone overtly political but just on the left like Soros and Gates, so Musk has that right, for the right, as well......Not that I think Musk is particularly right wing.
Also, to be fair to Musk, his main thing was protecting free speech, and if he hadn't had been relentlessly attacked, both him and his business and had been left alone then I think he would have stayed out of politics.
Now you have a real situation where both sides have serious donors, the Democrats have most of Wall Street, while the Republicans have the Paypal mafia.
This is the set of financial rival elites the right needed......shame that currently it only exists in America.
And like most of their problems this is a situation that the progressives could have avoided if only they actually knew how to properly run things without looking to overturn every apple cart......I can't stand the guy but Blair's book on leadership makes it very clear how the left can manage the right and even gain votes from them if they present themselves sensibly.
So in a way I guess I'm happy that the progressives just can't contain their own fruitcakes and excesses......because they create decline and an ill, both physically, economically and mentally dying violent society.
