'Problem for Tesla': Dems flee automaker over Musk’s Trump endorsement (www.rawstory.com)

But Musk later changed his mind, reportedly donating $45 million a month of his money to the pro-Trump political action committee American PAC.

`Nuff said. CEOs are often Republican, but to be this outspokenly political is normally a bad thing for CEOs like Musk. Media company heads (and Twitter/X is a media company) are supposed to at least pretend to be neutral.

And catering to the far-right seems like a bad idea if your company makes EVs. But what do I know?

Remember years ago when people said - out loud, ostensibly seriously - he’s a genius? I think all those people need to be kicked in the ass.

He “endorsed” Trump. LOL. That’s a chump, not a genius.

How do Trump's policies affect him?

Not saying he's a genius, but everything Trump is promoting benefits Musk.

Yeah, like talking of making EV's illegal.

Well maybe not illegal, but more expensive

As of 2022, 37% of Musk's wealth was due to Tesla stocks.
