Elon Musk Helped Elect Trump. What Does He Expect in Return?
The world’s richest man gave his money and time in campaigning for the president-elect and now is putting in his requests for a friendlier regulatory environment.

 

He said it on his podcast
Which is not owned by ESPN

but I guess people here think podcasters are idiots so they go back and watch cnn on their 20 inch RCA tv they plugged the saga genesis in

Again, I was referring to the stupidity of arguing on one hand that celebrities aren't competent enough to be taken seriously when they endorse a candidate and on the other hand supporting a rich, narcissistic, out-of-touch celebrity to serve as President of the United States.

Completely honest question: Would you like to address that point here, or would you rather we start a new thread and discuss it there?

I think it's an interesting aspect of the already interesting issue that you brought up here, and I'd sincerely like to get your thoughts on it. Good thread.

 

that's a little different. I was all pro-Harris until I saw that Kevin Sorbo was endorsing Trump. That's really what changed my mind. i mean, after all, he was Hercules.

 

I think the real question is whether celebrity endorsements hurt candidates.

Agreed, Hulk Hogan is much more in tune with foreign policy and economic theory.

 

I am well aware my views fall way outside those of most people in the entertainment industry and I could not care less until they start spouting off their views in public. I then actively avoid anything they are involved with.

 

Yeah, nobody knew whoTrump was before that. Good point.

 

Before the Apprentice people knew Trump as a Playboy son of a real estate tycoon who got bankrupt from endovers like casinos.

The Apprentice was absolutely vital in reforming the image of Trump from playboy fail son to expert businessman. Even the creators of the show admit to this.

 

Lol

I doubt you’re old enough to remember trump before the apprentice.

 

Bro how was it that I as a teenager in the early 2000s knee Trump to be a scumbag?

Do you know why comedy cartoon shows like the Simpsons had Trump being president the butt of the joke decades ago? Because the concept of such a fail son scumbag being president is absurd at face value. So obviously Trump being a scumbag was a well known thing as early as the 90s.

 

Just as I thought.

Let the hate flow through you.

That’s never been a problem for you actually.

 

I need to hear what Xena ....Lucy Lawless has to say first.

 

You could set a clock to your employment of ad hominem.
