Is Musk actually helping our cause? [View all]

Here's the thing, while Trump is a terrible person and human being and displays what sort of horrible people are conservatives in this nation, he had a gift when it came to appealing to certain people. Trump had a gift for making losers and bad people feel good about themselves, and they worshipped him for that.

Musk is all that is bad with Trump; only he lacks the gift. You don't see people liking, admiring, or supporting Elon Musk. I mean, right-wingers approve of his efforts to further their sinister agenda, but they don't like the guy.

So we have a thoroughly unlikeable monster who is now the poster boy for what it means to be a Republican/Libertarian/Conservative in America, and it's pretty much offputting to everyone.
