Everyone should remember that Elon doesn't care about political parties. He could give a shit less about the right or the left. He's in it for the money.
He played the right, getting an idiot elected who would allow him to gut the agencies auditing his companies. Now when he's done with them and his base is upset with him for selling out, he's pivoting back and trying to appease them.
It has always been about the money. Fuck Elon Musk.
