Is it because he's a self-absorbed cunt? Birds of a feather and all that.

Is it because he's a self-absorbed cunt?

Sure, but that's quite the simplification.

Birds of a feather and all that.

Nah... remember that they're both narcissistic sociopaths. They absolutely don't care about each other except in terms of what they can gain from the other.

Pedo Donald's policies are, almost without exception:

  • anti-consumer,
  • anti-worker,
  • anti-environment, and
  • pro-corporation.

Elon stands to make billions by incorporating child labor, reduced minimum wage, and removing safety regulations.

That could be.

It could also be that Trump's proposed policies will help make sure Elon continues to enjoy his obscene levels of wealth.

Who could say.

How is this an article? He hates unions, hates trans folks, hates taxes for the rich, hates environmental regulation, hates the SEC. Who else would he back?

Sorry maybe wrong community to post but it’s a really interesting article about how he’s been using dark money to support political causes for a while, and his decision to go public with it. Has lots of anonymous commentary from people close to him. Scary stuff.

Exactly. It's not like some careful analysis went into it. There's zero surprise in the guy who grew up privileged during apartheid prefers Trump.

Who is going to tax me less and regulate me less? Hmmm tough one

once deeply skeptical of Donald J. Trump

Utter nonsense. This is him being "deeply skeptical" of Trump according to the article:

Days before the 2016 election, he told CNBC that Mr. Trump did not “seem to have the sort of character that reflects well on the United States.” After Mr. Trump won, Mr. Musk told some associates that the outcome was proof that they were living in a simulation, according to one person close to him. In 2020, Mr. Musk, in a private conversation with another associate, called Mr. Trump a “stone-cold loser.”
