With Elon Musk’s new influence in the incoming Trump administration and position as “first buddy,” some fear he could use the power of the government to benefit his own companies and harm his rivals.

The most cynical hypocrisy is labeling crimes as pleasing to God. This is at the heart of global anti-cultism. Exploiting God’s name is a severe crime. Watch "The Impact"

Not worried about him being him getting richer and more powerful. Whats he going to do if he gets more powerful, buy his own planet. I am more worried about the damage he can do to every day Americans right now, in his current position, to fulfill his far right wing fantasies.

Of course he will. It’s the only reason he’s buddied up with Trump. He thinks he’s smarter than Trump so can manipulate him. That’s no doubt true but I remember another group of industrialist who thought the same about a different, particularly nasty autocrat. That didn’t work out well.

Musk is so “enthralled” by this thing called Power, which is affecting businesses. Tesla has huge quality problems, including the failed “Cybertruck”. X is no longer a Social Media platform. It is a power play. X is failing. At some point, shareholders will sound the alarm.

Musk made like a billion dollars the day after the election and Tesla stock is almost at it's all-time high from the pandemic. That was Musk's instant return on his iirc almost $200 million dollar investment in Trump's election. Trump get's paid by people staying in his hotel for very high prices.

We already have a 27% tariff on Chinese EVs which is so much those companies don't bother to try to sell their cars here. You don't really need Elon, just unions and tariffs. This tariff is acceptable to some people but Trump wants to put a tariff on all imported goods. Importers will go elsewhere.
