Did you just compare Musk with Trump?

Musk achieved great things with Paypal, Tesla, SpaceX, and revolutionary changes to technology that will be used for generations to come.

Trump left behind a disaster in terms of business. Bankruptcies and destroyed families on top of social unrest.

You are using "false equivalence" here. :D

You dishonestly constructed a comparison I did not make. I compared Trump and Musk on one single point of comparison, and one point only.

I don't like it. Not because it hurts my feelings. It's because the decorum and civility of this nation as taken a nose-dive. If you ask a Republican, it's because "The Democrats made me do it". Seriously, it's the Republicans - they're out to destroy us - I'm not exaggerating. We're going to become Belarus, bashing minorities and gays and loyal to Putin.

If the Dems stumble over and find their own strength, while wandering around in the dark, and stand up for themselves and democracy, it may very well be that is when the public will say "That tears it". Then, it will be the Dems faulted for taking things over the top.

Correcto, you're not exaggerating.

Musk could change his centrist views on social wedge issues in a finger-snap. That's his style.

Do you see Dems relating/messaging to the people on kitchen-table issues?

Uhhh, you don't?
What do you think Biden's BBB is? What is the G.O.P. alternative, aggressively collecting student loan debt, passing Family Leave
legislation leaving most workers unable to afford to take advantage of it?

What was the ACA, if not a milestone? Perhaps you don't know anyone with a pre-existing medical condition?

Indifference to the born reveals GOP's moral hypocrisy

America has a higher child poverty rate than virtually all of her industrial peers, but that is rarely addressed in the pro-life agenda or the Republican party that gives it such political heft.

The so-called protectors of life also rarely notice that the U.S. states with restrictive abortion bans score poorly on most metrics that measure the quality of life for families and children, such as maternal morbidity, infant mortality, premature birth, access to health care, day care, food, and housing.

Now it stands to reason that the Supreme Court’s pending restrictions on abortion will result in more babies, so we’ll leave it to Republican economist Abby McCloskey to voice a new American reality: It’s time, she wrote in a recent essay, for “the pro-life community to radically expand its agenda on caring for babies in America, and to do so quickly.”

In other words, it’s time for the promoters of a pro-life policy to promote the quality of life itself..."

I hope so. Narcissists have an appetite to feed. We don't want a centi-billionaire to go wanting. He's like the Venus human-trap plant in the "Little Shop of Horrors" movie: "Feed me. Feed me."

The Dems, although Biden tried a bit, did not sell BBB to the public. They are strong on policy the public likes, but they don't promote those policies to the public. Again, Biden is the exception but the Dems as a whole do not follow Biden's lead.
 
This is the problem with people who "amass money" THEY THINK THEY CAN CONTROL THE WORLD. "Musk" is POWER DRUNK"

Too many of these types with "Money" think it means they are the genuis of the world.

He won't be on top as the wealthiest as long as he thinks.

History has seen lots of men gain vast wealthy and think they can control the nation and tell the nations people what is best for the them

It's how we already ended up with "Political Parties"

The Constitution
DOES NOT NEED
POLITICAL PARTIES THEY ARE BASED ON DIVISIVENESS

"THE CONSTITUTION" ALREADY CREATED

HOUSE OF REPRESENATIVES
AND
THE SENATE


(The only reason we have Political Parties is THE PEOPLE are too UNEDUCATED IN THE CIVICS OF "THE CONSTITUTION")

Watch the people "go back in the spin game" RATHER THAN invest to learn ... and actually understand

what is and why there is the House of Represenatative

what is and why there is the Senate

MOST don't even know those Bodies of Congress are The Representative of "The People" and "The States"

Political Parties creates a non essential level of "Divisiveness"

They should be made "un-constitutional", because they bastardize the objectives of The Constitution.

Political Parties are Sanction by Nothing but THE CIVICS IGNORANCE of Society.

A Society too "Uneducated" of What Represenatative Democracy is
to know they promote
DIVISIVENESS

Then people cry and scream that the government does work,
when fact is the people are too Uneducated and Deluded into accepting the Ignorance of Political Parties until they DO NOT know that A REPUBLIC FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT was designed to work.

Our Constitutional Based Representative Democracy.​

Musk is no 'centrist populist'.
First and foremost Musk is a modern day robber baron who interests and actions are only intended to financially benefit himself.
 
Take time and think about this:

  • If you find agreement, please share it, to inspire others to "Think" about the Civics of American Representative Democracy.

We were taught a system of mis education to promote "Divisiveness", that embraced "dominance by the wealthy", division by "racism", division by"gender bias" and led to think "political partie"- were constitutional.

If you think this is just "glib commentary" Ask yourself, How much better Congress would work if there were no Political Parties? there would be no "vote by party line".... EACH Elected person would have to "Vote" as an independent Elected Person, with no Party Influence Dictating how they vote on any Bill or Measures. Then congress could function as it should, and there would be NO Corporate Money going to Poliitical Parties. Then, we could have "Federal, State and Local Campaign Financing. Lobbyist could not Lobby a Political Party, if the Political Party did not exist. Each Elected Person, could then be Held Accountable for their Voice and Vote.

THINK ABOUT IT

(We've been indoctrinated to support divisiveness)​

In The Beginning: The Framers of The Constitution - did not want the average (white man) to vote and denied (women) the right to vote, and barred (black people from voting)

  • They only let the average white man vote, because they could "control his vote", and directed his vote to "support only educated and wealthy or prominent people"
  • Women and Black People had and still do fight for the Right of Their Vote to Count.

This "Divisiviness is kept in place by "Political Parties"
It has made Congress unable to Perform its Constitutional Duties for "WE THE PEOPLE"

Republican Party of today, is based on support for The Wealthy and Backing the Racial, Gender and Ethnic Divisions.

The Democratic Party of today, is based on Support for We The People and our Representative Democracy
