Elon has done some impressive things but his voice carry’s as much weight as the president. Even more. To call for civil war seems reckless and will stir up the MAGA side. So with all his money and power he isn’t able to form some kind of mediation between all parties. He could be a beacon of reason and peace with his immense wealth. Why choose this path so quickly.
The more I look into that, the more I question this.
He has has bought companies that have done impressive things and tarnished nearly to the point of ruin all but one of them.
He wasn't the brainchild behind any of these products; he was, at most, the person who convinced venture capitalists to invest and the one who bargained with lawmakers to allow them.
I'm increasingly seeing brilliant people who have dealt with him in person mentioning that he has quite sub-par reasoning skills, and we're seeing more and more of that in the news.
Well documented Elon literally hasn't done anything impressive. His whole thing is buying into other companies and claiming to be the inventor/founder.
America on all sides is woefully bad at bullshit detection. Anyone that constantly talks themselves up should be scrutinized relentlessly
Because MAGA doesn't respect discourse, only shows of strength no matter how sloppy or feeble
MAGA is also under the false impression that liberals don't own guns.
