      You know I might be turned around on him. Yeah hes a piece of shit intent wise but we we need to actually look what someone has accomplished. Wealth disparity is one of of the biggest problems of modern time and here he has gone and evaporated over 35 billion from the high end. He might be the greatest hero of the common man in our time. /s

        This, but no /s. He’s evaporated $35 billion from Twitter and is convincing conservatives to buy electric vehicles. I might like him about as much as I’d like a tick on my nutsack, but he is accomplishing things that align with my goals.

      Somehow I’m not as confident they wouldn’t figure out a way to ignore just one more law

        Pretty sure the states could refuse to have him on the ballot, which would fuck over his ability to do jack shit. Also never underestimate American xenophobia, the fact he is South African would probably be enough to get him deported if it went to say a jury.

          Like Colorado tried to when Trump was convicted of massive fraud?

          If the cult latches onto Musk after Trump croaks, the corrupt SCOTUS majority isn’t going to let pesky details like the constitution get in his way either.

          the fact he is South African would probably be enough to get him deported

          He’s got triple citizenship, one of which being American making him much harder to deport.

          Personally I’d love for him to fulfill his dream of dying on Mars, except without his “but not on impact” caveat, as soon as possible.
