Look, I’m for robust center-right and center-left parties around the world, which could underpin dynamic and effective democracies, a point I argued in a post last year, where I profiled effective Republican and Democratic administrations in recent decades.
Furthermore, I’m a fan of Elon Musk and his genius for innovation, implementation, technology, engineering and business.
But, given Trump's current hold on the GOP, and notwithstanding the less adverse influence that Bernie-style ideology has on the Dems, Elon Musk’s preference for the GOP in the coming election reinforces my suspicion that engineers often make poor political analysts!
I’m being a little tongue in cheek here because such generalizations are wrong, but only a little tongue in cheek, folks.
It seems that Elon's foray into the midterms was not well thought out. Not quite the brilliance of SpaceX's launches that catapulted (or rather, "launched") him to a level of engineering and business stardom where no one has gone before.
I don’t know — maybe for Elon it’s about getting his taxes down?
Stick to EVs, rockets that land on landing pads, payment systems, and even Mars colonies and leave politics to the Nancy Pelosis, Winston Churchills, Mitt Romneys, Cyril Ramaphosas, Angela Merkels, Emmanuel Macrons, Abe Shinzos and other fine practitioners of the craft.
Sorry, as an observer of politics around the world and in the US, I couldn’t resist this comment…
