I was the same way. I really wasn't exposed to Musk. Didn't follow him on Twitter. Then he got active with the DOGE coin community, which was kind is embarrassing. Then he has the whole kids trapped in the cave/Pedo guy thing, but the part that really started to sour him for me was the Tesla factory shutdown push back during the pandemic. I started paying more attention to him and really began to dislike him. He's been shitty for a while but I just didn't pay attention.
This should be a red flag for Trump voters, but they won't see it as such. They'll just bend over and keep taking it.
The democrats don't really treat their voters any better. Run a losing campaign and ask for donations the morning after. We need legit third party options.
My conspiracy theory is that Trump has to get Putin all set and Project 2025 off and running as quick as he can, so Theil and JD Vance can 25th A him, while also pardoning him also. This whole Musk thing might be totally separate and gumming up the works, forcing Trump to deviate from the original plan. Nobody freestyles and fucks shit up like Trump.
Oopsie. 🤷
