If I were recruiting people in my life who only thought just like me, I would never speak with anybody. So, I am always open to giving someone a chance to get it right and to come around to the right way of thinking. Not all people come to the right way of thinking the same, but in a competitive exchange of ideas, some things are revealed that are universal truths. So, I am always open to people discovering those truths, even if they come from a background where their thinking has steered them down the wrong path. And that is the case with President Trump. I wouldn’t have cared to speak one word to him twenty years ago during the height of his Apprentice show on NBC. Unevolved playboys never interested me. But people who make fortunes and then want to do good things with those fortunes do. And that is the trajectory of Elon Musk, one of the world’s wealthiest people, trading back and forth with Jeff Bezos for that title. But without question, Elon Musk is one of the biggest influencers on planet Earth. There have always been aspects of his character that I have liked, particularly the kind of guy who would appear on the television show Rick and Morty and be associated with the Babylon Bee podcast. However, I was not interested in the guy who loved Barack Obama and the idea of climate change and globalism—and managing supply chains in China. However, I noticed a change in Musk’s political interests about a year into Biden’s first term. I wouldn’t say I liked how stand-offish Musk was toward Trump during his first term, so I had a lot of questions about Trump and Musk’s relationship, which was put into context in the recent book Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson.
It’s exciting to see in that book that the author, Walter Isaacson, was uncomfortable with Musk’s relationship with President Trump over the time he covered him. This book project is a Simon and Schuster New York thing, and they are all part of the Trump-hating group who find the concept of the President as revolting because it’s a serious disruption to their plans for global communism China style. So, Walter would look for ways to demean Trump in the text, even though Elon Musk has been moving toward Trump over the last several years. A couple of things happened to Musk by Biden’s administration that set things in motion for which Musk and many others took for granted in the pre-Covid world of Trump successes. The biggest thing is that Biden had a big event at the White House to celebrate the EV car market, and there simply isn’t any bigger name in the business than Tesla. So Musk should have been the feature guy. But Biden made it all about union labor, and Tesla isn’t unionized and has no plans to become so. So Tesla was cast out of the White House spotlight, which, from then on, changed Musk politically, and he took a hard turn toward defending free speech and conducting a less rules-based society centrally run by big government bureaucracies. The Elon Musk of the last three years or so is not the same political Elon Musk from the Obama period going into Trump’s administration, and that is consistent with my observations and what I have said about Musk’s political transition. Like I said, I don’t hold people to previous assumptions. As people learn things about the way the world works, I expect people to come around toward a big tent party, so it does not surprise me that Musk is now supporting Republicans rather than Democrats, which many of Musk’s friends find apocalyptic, best expressed in that book by Larry David who thought Musk was casting off a responsibility toward Democrats that he played a central role in.
As I have said for years, there is no way to become a human civilization going to space under a communist flag with mixed societies of socialism as part of the process. The more capitalist space endeavors are, the more successful they will become. And that is certainly the case with what Musk wants to do with SpaceX and the Starship program. Math is math; the more accessible society is, the more opportunities there are for the human race to get into space and still support a positive culture on Earth. The more socialism and communism there are politically in those systems, the more failure is introduced into all the assumptions. And now that everyone has seen what kind of world a third term of Obama looks like, through the inserted President Biden, people have decided that China-style communism is not their thing. And people like Musk have moved toward the direction of a big tent version of the Republican Party that is fighting for personal freedoms, starting with free speech. Musk had been supporting softer versions of Republicans like Ron DeSantis, and as I have pointed out, I have been on presentations online where Musk participated in conversations with Vivek Ramaswamy and J.D. Vance. So Musk has indeed transitioned into a supportive Republican understanding that America will not survive if the global communists get their way. Now that the game plan is relatively straightforward, these intentions are no longer a “conspiracy theory.”
There was a part of the Elon Musk book where Walter was disturbed by Musk’s father, a Trump supporter who would send messages to his son indicating that Biden didn’t win the last election, which was stolen from Trump. Walter writes about all this as if Musk’s father, Errol, was “one of those people,” a conspiracy theorist with one foot into insanity. The emphasis on the many mistakes Errol had made in his life was something that Walter wanted to make prominent, such as having children with his stepdaughter and Elon Musk and his brother being so upset that they refused to have continued relationships with their father. But there is more to the story; intelligent people can’t ignore the evidence. You can’t have corrupted software in society and expect everything to run right. The obvious problems with COVID and the 2020 election converted Musk to a less authoritarian government in America. He is now deeply committed to that pursuit, starting with the purchase of Twitter. However, the definitions of success are the same, even if the means of getting there are varied. And when people like President Trump are willing to put everything on the line to preserve our culture, and Elon Musk is signing up to be on your side of things, you open the door and let them in. You open the door for them wisely, not linger on their past mistakes. Be happy they have seen the light and are now on your team. Logic dictates that people will discover the truth if only they can access it. But it’s what happens after they find out it that matters most, and Elon Musk is now a tremendous advocate for a more capitalist society led by the United States and companies that are distinctly American, like Tesla and SpaceX. And now, with Twitter being converted to Musk’s “X,” there are many opportunities for greatness that weren’t present before. But they are now, which will impact the growth of the human race in the months and years to come.
