Elon Musk has publicly announced today he can no longer vote for Democrat candidates and will instead vote for Republican candidates. [Tweet Link Here] This is a rather bold move for a man who is now putting himself in the forefront of the modern Democrat hate furnace.
He appears very aware of the level of opposition he will now face as a result of calling the Democrat party the “party of division and hate,” despite the bold truth expressed. In an earlier tweet he stated, “political attacks on me will escalate dramatically in coming months;” and when Musk says “on me” he likely understands that means on all he represents, including his businesses.
Elon Musk looks more and more like John Galt every day.
Despite all the challenges, and perhaps because the righteous battle is always fought on the right side of history, we are alive in very remarkable times. This decision by Mr. Musk will embolden many more to join us….. Happy warriors.
Almost seems like he’s going thru some self-destructive depression cycle.
Sold his many mansions in CA and took up residence in an old/ugly but renovated and now highly-secured ranch-style house in S. Texas (which is company owned). Cashed out a bunch of Tesla stock at just the right time. Made offer for twitter knowing issues, now Tesla’s stock is >30% down from highs.
Even before that, he builds a Tesla mfg facility in China, presumably gives them much, if not most, of the intellectual property. I believe it remains largely shuttered due to CCP’s lockdown.
I’m not a fan due to his technocratic tendencies, but it does begin to seem like he’s willing to put everything on the line for whatever reason.
Perhaps he wants to portray himself as a christ-like technochratic modern savior? Giving up all his own self-interest for a greater good? I find it quite odd and suspect. Hope I’m wrong, but I’m never bowing before or worshiping this guy or any man outside Jesus Christ.
Or maybe he’s just a ‘regular’ guy who is repulsed by what the Democrat Party has become, and no longer want to be a part of it?
Like Donald Trump circa 1990.
Or Ronald Reagan in the late 60s
Reagan and Charleston Heston around the same time frame.
AND is rich enough to weather the fascist s!htstorm that he is about to endure.
DO NOT COMPARE MUSK TO TRUMP. Not even close.
Musk didn’t own multiple mansions.
Also, it’s not about you. Neither he nor anyone else is asking you to worship them. What a bizarre statement.
I believe Norseman’s reference was to cowgirl’s use of the phrase “electric free speech god” and the implication riddled throughout her posting that now conservatives see him as a hero and are worshipping him.
Right below your comment is this comment from Keith:
Elon Musk is the most important and courageous person on this planet. Our future depends on his success. If he succeeds I think we can turns things around. If they defeat him we are all in trouble. I hope Elon’s courageousness will embolden other powerful people to get on board with Elon.
Tell me that conservatives are not now worshipping Elon Musk. The left adored him – 75% of his green energy cars were sold to people living in the Silicon Valley which is bluer than the sky above you. Now they hate him and conservatives are falling all over him. But I am not – not buying it at all.
Yes he did own multiple mansions. WHEW!! On May 1, the Tesla CEO announced that he would be “selling almost all physical possessions,” including his home in a shocking tweet. His reason for selling his belongings? According to Elon, he seeks “freedom.”
In the days that would follow, he listed two of his Bel-Air mansions, but had yet to make the move to sell the remaining four. However on Friday, he kept his promise and put the rest of the mansions up for a combined sale price of $62.5 million.
It’s unlikely that the businessman will sell the four properties any time soon as he’s selling them as a bundle offer. Moreover, there’s some space separating the four houses, making it difficult to create a living compound as some stars have previously done.
Perhaps Grimes‘ boyfriend would be willing to negotiate, as he’s chosen to sell the homes without the help of a realtor. He tweeted that he only has one condition for the prospective buyers who approach him with an offer: “I own Gene Wilder’s old house. It cannot be torn down or lose any its soul.”
Elon is not punking you neither Norseman!!
Never heard him ask to be worshipped. He’s the antithesis of Brin and Gates and Zuck and Bezos. It appears that he’s a normal dude that sees the writing on the wall like the rest of us. And he’s not being gaslit or allowing them to pretend nothing is happening.
I think he also knows good and well who he is going up against, and has consulted with experts on how to roll out this plan he’s got. Because there’s no way he’s just spontaneously reacting to all this – it’s clear he has a team making sure he doesn’t screw up while implementing what he wants to do.
Soros does the same stuff, but Soros hates America. Elon seems to like it and thinks it’s worth saving.
He donated $6 bil to the UN the other day – to feed the hungry. He actually made them construct a legal plan showing where the money would go before he donated.
The Mormon church has only donated 2 billion in the last 35 years, to put that number in to context. Mormon church has the same amount of assets and cash as musk.
Don’t forget his satellite internet and his neuralink to help paralyzed people. He seems altruistic, and he gets stuff done. I think Musk is worth rooting for.
Elon Musk is the most important and courageous person on this planet. Our future depends on his success. If he succeeds I think we can turns things around. If they defeat him we are all in trouble. I hope Elon’s courageousness will embolden other powerful people to get on board with Elon.
I hope Elon’s courageousness will embolden other powerful people to get on board with Elon.
Yep. I think that’s the key point. Could be huge / turn the tide .. if it happens.
Courage is contagious? We will see. President Trump has led the way in that department and I think others have tried to follow. Robert Malone, Sidney Powell, Catherine Engelbrecht, Devin Nunes, Michael Flynn. Let’s name our truth tellers and our real warriors. Let’s encourage action.
Elon Musk has taken up the charge and I did not expect it.
I’m impressed by the personal courage of PDJT.
I’m impressed by the personal courage of EM.
Both make a big difference for America today.
me too.
Musk is a number-1 Pentagon contractor. But who knows, maybe someone else will get flushed there.
It’s true Elon gets a lot of business from the U.S. government but before SpaceX NASA and even the Pentagon relied on Russian rockets and rocket engines to put men and payload into space. They cannot go back to that option again. Elon is the only game in town for now when it comes to space flight and Elon controls the company.
Wait for Starlink. Will transform the internet. All controlled by one man, Mr. Musk
The fact that SpaceX saves their rockets by safely landing them after launch is a capital idea….
Government just lets them fall into the sea.
Re “It’s true Elon gets a lot of business from the U.S. government but before SpaceX NASA and even the Pentagon relied on Russian rockets and rocket engines to put men and payload into space.”
Just because we DID does not mean we HAD to! Decades of bad leadership put us in that position. GOOD leadership can remove us from that situation.
We should be so lucky a good guy is putting our money to use for once. When was the last time anyone actually approved of how the trillions we get taxed are spent? We need more good guys taking and spending government money, not bad guys.
I wouldn’t say he’s the most important but he sure is the most high profile person at this moment to be doing what he’s doing. He’s very courageous for painting the target on his own back. Of course, by saying all these things, ie he’s not suicidal, will vote Republican, calling out the S&P ESG Index, exposing Twitter, and the like, is bringing attention on the manipulation and lawlessness and authoritarianism of the Left.
At the very least he’s making many others think. At best, he’s willing to bet the government/left need his companies enough to leave him alone to continue his free speech campaign.
…Saul, a roman persecutor of believers in Jesus love…
had a pivot point in his life journey,
…and from there on renamed himself Paul, defended and discipled as a believer
( and then Paul was persecuted … )
With younger Luke helping to share Paul’s virtue via letters to Thessalonians and others…
there became
St. Luke
St. Paul
[ there is a movie called “Saul” and another another one about “Paul” ( Jim Cavaziel acts as Luke) ]
“Prove all things, hold fast to that which is good”
Thessalonians 5:21
i.e..
As wise grandfather said to grandson over 40 years ago: ” don’t take any wooden nickels”
( similar to what St Paul wrote… 2000 years ago..)
p s.
fwiw, I do not know if elon has a religious belief – or practice….or a pivot point in that regard….at this time…
Imho
Love thy neighbors..
Transferring hero worship from Trump to Musk only continues the avoidance of OUR responsibility as Citizens to look after our own Liberty. Ain’t nobody riding in on a white horse to save us from the consequences of our apathy and cowardice.
True, but any glimmer of hope is worth talking about and rooting for. We move as a single unit – like a pendulum. We’ve been on the extreme left for too long, the tide is turning. It has to, we can’t go any further left.
People who take on major risk on behalf of others are heroes. Trump is a hero. Musk is a hero. Bret Weinstein is a hero. Julian Assange is a hero. MTG is a hero. Learn your heroes and don’t skimp on your worship. Worship and imitate.
I know that there are many Musk haters among Conservatives, and certainly many others who have a high level of suspicion about him. But if he is true to his words there, mad respect to him. It takes balls to come out publically like that against the Leftist Establishment.
I don’t think conservatives hate him as much as they are skeptical of him.
I am one of them. But he has been red pilled these last few weeks.
And I am beginning to think he puts humanity and the individual first.
Time will tell, but he’s beginning to look and sound like John Galt more
every day.
by their fruits ye shall know them……………
/signed/
waiting for evidence not words
BINGO.
Don’t know what you want proof of. There are times when words carry as much weight as actions and in this instance that is the case as Democrat reactions against him will prove. I’m not a big fan of his businesses or dealings with China but in this instance he’s laid down the gauntlet against Democrats and I give due credit where deserved.
He actually more resembles Dagny, in my opinion.
Re “And I am beginning to think he puts humanity and the individual first.”
Is that not what all leftists CLAIM to do?
Re “Time will tell, but he’s beginning to look and sound like John Galt more
every day.”
Time will indeed tell but Musk is beginning more and more to look and sound like a snake oil salesman to me.
I don’t hate the man. I just don’t TRUST him…
“Balls” (courage) seem to be more apparent and accessible when one has many billions of dollars at one’s disposal.
I’m more respectful of such high-profile “courage” when the person who is seemingly exhibiting such Qualities isn’t able to shield themselves with a huge amount of cash / material assets.
Elon may be genuine and on a righteous mission.
But we should always beware of false prophets and idols and proceed with caution.
Has anything of genuine substance been done or accomplished ? He’s made an offer for Twitter along with statements of operating philosophy then put it all on hold. He’s made a statement about political choice.
It’s all a lot of posturing but nothing yet solid.
Just saying….
Well, he has pretty much exposed both that Twitter is a paper tiger when it comes to actual users as well as its determination to censor non-lefty voices. And he’s done this is a way that the MSM can’t hide. That is pretty much a major accomplishment in its own right.
I think Sundance exposed that in direct, clear terms before Elon asked any questions.
Seriously, if Sundance had not explained the user-based data/communication demands of a Twitter app on millions of user devices, would Musk’s public questions have educated us about the realistic cost of technology supporting the app ??
IMHO – no.
Remember the parable of “The Station?” I think that insight applies here.
There is much to miss, after all, if all you focus on is one tangible endpoint (Twitter purchase). Musk has exposed their fraud already, on that ‘road to find out..’
This is about intangibles like the right to express your opinions.. free and fair elections.. bots and bots to consider on his quest for truth, justice and the American Way 🇺🇸
When was the democrat party EVER the party of kindness?
before musk got red pilled?
Since never. They have always used projection and deceit to achieve their goals. As all good communists do.
Here in Canada as well with Trudope at the helm. Now it seems they are starting to eat their own, due to the Emergency Act JT enacted when our brave and Loving Freedom Convoy went to Ottawa this past January/February. Now the Ottawa Police Chief is being asked, when he gave a Press Conference, the RCMP and others, they claim they did not ask for the EA and it had nothing to do with their stellar work s/. Trudope said in Parliament that it was the Police services that were asking for help. LIARS LIARS all the Liberals and here the NDP are the uni -party. Burn in hell all of them that were involved.
I am sorry I went off, but it was the Liberal talk, that got me going. Excellent piece on that Epoch Times, I read there as well. Cheers.
Never, that has always been a load of crap from the Dems.
..many of them selfishly enriched themselves by selling that were helping the poor,
or saying more taxes for education ” it’s for the kids”
[ but were entrapping people to depend on government handouts, miss policies etc.
( which is circular cash flow from taxpayers$ and ballooning national debt$ to dc…back to people – after skimming funds into politician pockets… repeat…)
Is that kindness
or something else? hmmm…]
Love thy neighbors
It’s rhetoric.
If you say the Democrats were always evil, then you are accusing people of being dupes and because people don’t want to think of themselves that way they’ll double down.
If you say, you were right at the time, but times have changed, you encourage others who want to feel like they’re as smart as Elon to follow him as he walks away.
Musk is as ignorant of the truth about the Democrats as any other individual. It appeared even President Trump wasn’t really aware of the Democrat evil until after he was elected and had to fight them every day. To many of our politicians also seem to give credence to the lying presses stories about almost everything.
Our Republican Lt. Governor of Ohio Husted, wrote a long diatribe against the Jan 6 incident at the Capital the very next morning while falsely saying the there had never been an attack there before. He couldn’t even get his history right. Every word was taken from the false and to early to really know what happened account by the lying press. It’s embarrassing to see how an individual at that level of government could be so stupid and easily led.
Because Jon Husted is an idiot and being groomed by Les Wexner & Bob the Slob Paduchik to replace Gubnor Liddle Mikey DeRINO, who was re-elected May 3rd due to a vote splitting scam via fake cowboy farmer grifter Little Joe Blystone.
Never. But the morons that support them BELIEVE them to be. Those morons are an easy bunch to dupe and the D-rats do it well. I appreciate EM pointing the BS “kindness” aspect out for the morons to incite them to attempt thought.
For those who may not know, they can ask Ayn Rand who John Galt is.
The Mules should have just taken their medicine, but they were weak.
Their was the point where our Republic began to go sideways!
I posted this before.
Musk – SpaceX
Bezos- Blue Origin
Musk – Starlink
Bezos – Project Kuiper
To a lesser degree
Musk – Tesla
Bezos – Rivian
During the Trump administration there was not much talk about this rivalry, possibly because that process was fair when doing business with the government.
Now under the Biden occupation Bezos is ‘sue happy’ against Musk.
Bezo expects favorable treatment from Biden. 🤔
Maybe not after calling out Biden this past week.
Tell Mr Bezos it’s his turn now.. And he can start by having his WaPo stop spinning facts for a change!
“As the plot unfolds, Galt is acknowledged to be a philosopher and inventor; he believes in the power and glory of the human mind, and the rights of individuals to use their minds solely for themselves. He serves as a highly individualistic counterpoint to the collectivist social and economic structure depicted in the novel, in which society is based on oppressive bureaucratic functionaries and a culture that embraces mediocrity in the name of egalitarianism, which the novel posits is the end result of collectivist philosophy.”
His trans-humanism neuralink advocacy is disturbing to me. Sketchy.
Oh, you mean like prosthetics?
Yes, thirty years ago Dr Malone invented mRNA technology. The studies were then linked to the regeneration of damaged organs and the reversal of Traumatic Brain Injuries.
At some point, to his horror, DARPA and the globalists turned mRNA into a bioweapon against humanity, instead. Specifically, the nano delivery envelope that can move anywhere and deliver unknown ‘payloads’ throughout the body.
He saw it as a way to change humanity for the better but they saw it as the mark of the beast.
Alfred Nobel didn’t see the down side of his work either.
Well.. you know what a wise man once said about everything ‘woke’.. turns to 💩
You are so Right musk and I know how musk feels,
Elon
WELCOME TO ULTRA MAGA
Make no mistake–Musk and people like Naomi Wolff are allies, and not necessarily our friends. That said, let us work with them to achieve the goal.
Agreed.
Smoke’em peace pipe, sign treaty of alliance.
Enemy of my enemy…
Yeah!!!! Great to see. He has always been someone who thinks big. Glad he is now thinking big politically.
Is it possible with his Aspergers he doesn’t quite comprehend the demons from hell he has summoned to his door?
The electric free speech god made his billions off of the climate change/green energy hoax with taxpayers’ money. His cars are crap. He voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 and Hillary in 20216. The Obama Administration gave him billions for green energy crap. He was the electric god of the left yesterday and the free speech god of the right today. He is punking everyone but me.
More than 23% of Elon Musk’s Twitter followers are spam or fake accounts, research groups say
More than 23.42% of billionaire Elon Musk’s 93 million followers on Twitter are likely fake or spam accounts, according to a joint audit by two research groups published Sunday.
The two groups, SparkToro and Followerwonk, said their definitions of “fake” and “spam” accounts might not be the same as Twitter’s.
They said they used a system of 17 warning signals, based on an algorithm that ran through 35,000 fake Twitter accounts bought by SparkToro and 50,000 accounts the teams marked as non-spam.
If one of Musk’s followers was flagged for multiple spam signals, they graded it as low quality or fake, they said.
When factoring in inactive users, which the researchers defined as accounts that haven’t tweeted in 90 days, a total 70.23% of Musk’s followers were unlikely to be “authentic” or “active users who see his tweets,” they said.
And from the electric free speech god:
The Tesla CEO and founder recently acknowledged that his own Twitter account’s numbers may be inflated.
Speaking on Monday at a tech conference in Miami, he pointed out that one of the most-liked tweets on the platform (his own tweet about buying Coca-Cola) has 4.8 million likes compared to Twitter’s estimate of 217 million total active users.
Cowgirl,
Are you a leftest bot. I am a long time conservative. Musk has done a lot for our country. Tesla is the best ev in market place without a doubt. His cars are great and at this moment no company can produce cars at his level. He has an oil man like me to love his cars, factories in Texas, Fremont , Berlin and yes Shanghai. His approach to green energy is all of the above. He disapproved Biden’s war on fossil fuels. We are not ready to shut energy down. He is against buying oil from our enemies. He is first billionaire to support Trump. Take that to the bank. Read about Musk and how he began, a true hero in my eyes.
I’m not fooled but glad for any support that goes viral against the evil were facing. Musk used what was available to succeed like many other so called tycoons. There’s no reason for a purity test of ethics and product to accept whatever he can do or say that will enlighten others to truth about Democrats and in this particular instance “free speech”. Here’s where I think the saying “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”applies until proven otherwise.
Agree 100%
Musk does appear to have swallowed a Red pill.
We’ll see how long he has fidelity.
Things are getting desperate in this crazy world. Things are going to get much worse before the day of reckoning comes. We will need more than one John Galt. Elon may be one of them. Only time will tell.
The only real question is whether Mr. Musk will put his money where his mouth is.
Well, he’s certainly willing to put quite a few TAXPAYER dollars where his mouth is!
Musk thought dems were the party of kindness. Why exactly? What evidence did he examine?
To be a Democrat means to ignore all evidence and he’s not the only one who’s done this over the decades.
I work with people who still are convinced the DemonRats are “for the little guy”(TM).
That’s how media portrays Dems. Haven’t you seen your neighbors’ ‘Be Kind’, ‘Love Wins’, and ‘Hate Has No Home Here’ yard signs?
Perhaps Elon is seeing which way the wind is blowing. He understands how dangerous and dumb what the swamp did by stealing a presidential election. Perhaps he is smart enough to understand the concept of “the consent of the governed” and what that means in real America, the largest standing army in the world.
When push comes to shove you want to be on the American Team.
Interesting Note: Bezos (Amazon) made a derogatory comment against B-B-B-Biden regime bottom line or which way the wind is blowing?
This is all a game. They’re all on the same team. Don’t be fooled.
HAHAHAHAHA ..that’s one way to catch ‘em!
Just be careful you’re supporting maga, not rinos
Since he is a freedom guy, he must leave the Dems. He will get totally frustrated with the GOP however.
Deranged regressive leftists can’t even use their own simple virtue math on this one.
You can bet, that every single big American auto manufacturer with an EV has Tesla innovations in it. Musk made Tesla engineering “Open Source”. He basically made it so anyone can use his patents and designs. Free License.
If you look at Musk’s philanthropy, it’s stunning how much money he has given away to charities that help others.
Leftists don’t actually care about the issues they say they care about. They only care about conformance to the dogma of their ideological leaders.
They are a caricature of all that’s nuts in “Portlandia” times 10
“Elon Musk looks more and more like John Galt every day.”
Near the end of Ayn Rand’s novel, Atlas Shrugged, John Galt makes a radio speech outlining the Objectivist philosophy. The text is 56 pages long in the paperback copy I have. It has been said that Ayn Rand took two years to write that speech. It ends with the oath:
“I swear — by my life and my love of it — that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.”
Can we look forward to a lengthy Elon Musk speech, in which he outlines his philosophy, like John Galt?
Probably not lengthy . . . 280 characters. 🙂
“Elon Musk looks more and more like John Galt every day.”
Better than most billionaires, but switching from the left, showing basic political stupidity for being on that side in the first place, to the “conservative” posers in the controlled opposition half of the UniParty doesn’t even get him close to John Galt.
John Galt wouldn’t have voted for either half of the UniParty.
I was wondering this myself. First Musk speaks (or tweets) out. Then Bezos steps forward. How many more will now come forward?
Yeah, but what about the DemonRats who pose as RepubliCONS? It makes me cringe that we are all flocking to the RepubliCONS.
You mean, for example, the 169 Republican members of the House who are NOT in the Freedom Caucus, the RINOs in the Senate and the bazillion other RINOs at every other level of government?
That’s why I chuckle at the hopium from a few nomination-winning “MAGA” candidates who, assuming they actually VOTE conservative once in office (you know, like Justice Roberts, LOL) who, at this rate, considering how clueless most conservatives are to the UniParty reality, will be able to roll back the damage done over the last 100 years in about another 100 years.
Mr. Musk, meet the uniparty. Uniparty, Mr. Musk.
When have the Democrats ever been the kindness party? They’ve been the party of crocodile tears, concern trolls, radical black identity politics and free stuff for at least 30 years.
“The kindness party”?
They have been good pretenders supporting organizations with nice sounding names like Save the Whales, World Wildlife Fund, Drs Without Borders, Habitat for Humanity, and Compassion International.
shoot I voted for the peanut farmer.. that was the only time I ever noted anything related to “kindness” within the party of of the ass..
Jimmy was so kind he gave OUR Panama Canal to China! He was so kind he caused massive gas shortages at the gas pumps even though there was plenty of gas under U.S. soil. It was his dumb policies that kept it from getting to the pumps!
That Musk thought that the Democrat party was ever one of kindness is, to put it nicely, charmingly childlike.
The great tragedy of contemporary American politics is that the Republican Party will not save us from the lunatic leftwing mobs of the Demonrat Party. Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are nothing but corporate stooges, war mongers and mealy-mouthed surrender monkeys. At best all they will do is temporarily slow down the inevitable slide into a dystopian tyranny.
Re “At best all they will do is temporarily slow down the inevitable slide into a dystopian tyranny.”
If they slow it down at all, it’s just long enough for them to get their payoff laundered…
I am no longer Democrat or Republican. I am a Monarchist, and my King will return soon to clean up this Mess! 🙂
MAGA in the primaries and GOP in the general elections.
In this state we don’t have to declare Party affiliation to vote.
“Sandy Smith has secured North Carolina’s 1st District GOP nomination to Congress after winning a primary race over several opponents. She was ultimately able to fend off big-money GOP establishment efforts to derail her pro-Trump, America First campaign. Smith has been at the forefront of the grassroots MAGA movement and has earned the support of America First icons like General Flynn, Paul Gosar, and Wendy Rogers. The McCarthy-linked GOP establishment dumped millions into the 1st District primary race, hoping to force Sandy Smith into a run-off with Rocky Mount Mayor Sandy Roberson. While Roberson calls himself a Republican, he donates to far-left Democrat candidates and supports abortion, as well as NATO membership for Ukraine, and an ensuing war with Russia. That didn’t stop the McCarthy-aligned Congressional Leadership Fund from throwing money at his race in an effort to stop grassroots Marine mom and small business owner Sandy Smith, with that group alone dropping half a million dollars on anti-Smith smear ads in the week leading up to the election – all to no avail, as 1st District voters rejected the establishment’s ploy.”
“We won!” Smith wrote in a Tweet after the race was called. “Thank you all SO MUCH. Nearly $2 million in smear ads against us and we still came out on top. No run-off,” she went on, vowing to fight for key MAGA issues.
