What does Musk think Trump is going to do for him? Trump has said multiple times he wants to outright ban EVs and increase fuel production and sales. He hates public transportation, so he's not going to support The Loop. He's weirdly obsessed with space, sure, but Trump isn't going to give him money for SpaceX. Is Musk looking for a cabinet position or something?
Musk thinks Trump will reward his fealty with a cabinet post, where he can then maximize his grift using the government as his cudgel.
Neither does Musk, so same difference.
This is how Authoritarianism works. Trump will ban all EVs with the exception of ones made by his inner circle.
Yes, he already announced plans for a new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
I fucking hate this timeline
Of course he did, the greasy bastard.
