Elon Musk: Triple Agent

[bythoughts]

If you believed James Bond left MI6 in License to Kill ... if you believed Snowden was really a rogue agent leaking vital national secrets ... then you're sure to believe that Elon Musk has fractured the Republican Party, ensuring victory for the Democrats in 2026 and beyond.

But for the suspicious sorts, here's how I'm guessing it goes.

1) Musk was only set to work in government a limited time
2) Decreasing stock prices on Musk properties allows certain folks to buy and make a huge profit.
3) Musk criticizing Trump's budget for being too big gives the illusion of an opposition within the party, to satisfy Republicans' sense of wanting to be heard.
4) Musk is in fact targeting just a few races. Races, where possible, there is only one party running (a Democrat), or where the Republicans are making a poor show.
5) Idea: Musk will pour BOATLOADS of money into races by surprise, giving Republicans a second chance to jump ship from a dog of a candidate onto a Musk candidate, thereby showing their independence from the Trump party...
6) Until, at the last minute, Trump tells all Republicans to vote for the Musk candidate as part of one of his Great Deals. You might be able to calculate this time by backtracking when in 2026 Musk has to start working to get all his temporary government employee days for the year, before the end of the year.
7) Outcome: The Democrats, acting as if flummoxed (really, worse: paid) stand by in shock as their candidates get swapped for "independent" Musk candidates, who then go on to caucus with the Republicans provided he gets a few hundred billion in taxpayer subsidies. Budgets for everyone else are slashed with glee, and everyone walks away happy. Except the poor schmuck Americans.
8) This is what you get for having a government run by pro wrestling executives.

Lol

What utter nonsense.

I can't stand that people dont understand things.

Musk will pull votes from the dems who are conservative centrists not the brainwashed cult.

Elon Musk isn't wrong on the BBB. Even if you don't like him, he is standing for what he believes in be it tariffs or BBB and you gotta give him some credit for that.

yawn...

Another bunch of nonsense that belongs in the CT Forum.

 

[TheDoctorWasIn]

Musk is neither a savior, not a secret Agent. He's a bored billionaire playing games with live pawns.

What is certainly true is that Musk is merely a manchild throwing a tantrum because daddy didn't give him the subsidies, tax incentives and goodies he wanted, and in founding the 'America party' is pursuing a course of action that he believes will advance his personal interests.

While I don't think there's much danger of it, because this open Nazi is nakedly and utterly selfish and untrustworthy, what everyone cannot forget is that above all, like Trump, Musk has no greater ideal or principle than self-service and aggrandizement; everything else is just posturing.

Wishful thinking

Wishful? This is a nightmare for bringing back normally.

 

[Peter]

I hope Musk splits the Republican vote and makes them unelectable for the next 30 years.

Nothing of value will be lost.
