Billionaire Elon Musk has donated to a super political action committee working to elect Donald Trump to the White House, a major gambit by the world’s richest person to make his imprint on the US political landscape.
He used to be different politically, because that was cool. Now he has enough money that people will tell him he’s cool no matter what his politics are, so he now supports the causes that benefit him. I don’t think he’s ever going back.
He’ll turn back to the left as soon as the he gets too clingy with his current audience and they turn on him.
Musk is worse, he doesn’t care about his political leanings, he only cares about where he can have the most people simping for him.
