Elon Mush is trying very hard to win the affections of Trump voters.

He believes he can duplicate Trump's success if he has the Republican base with him. His every move seems to be to grovel to the Trump base, in my opinion.

Politically, he is much more dangerous than Ron DeSantis, in my opinion.

He understands the power of propaganda and he has the tools to spread as much as he desires.

He doesn't want to rule the world. He wants to rule the universe.
