Should I weigh my words? Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, and Donald Trump, a great specialist in broke and dirty tricks but who has made it to the top of the United States, are two rubbish.
Elon Musk, who just bought Twitter under pressure from the courts, it should be noted, could favor Trump’s election in 2024 by allowing him to return to Twitter. Remember that before he was banned from Twitter, Donald Trump drew eighty million subscribers to his account, while his personal Truth Social network only reached two million.
As of last Sunday, there are serious reasons to believe that the democratic process in the United States is in some way compromised. On Friday, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was attacked at his home in San Francisco by a man armed with a hammer, fracturing his skull. Instead, the attacker was looking for Ms. Pelosi, who was in Washington.
Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tweeted not only condemning Mr Pelosi’s aggression but also the Republican Party, which she accused of spreading conspiracy theories. The new owner of Twitter, who has promised a new policy of moderation, responded to Ms Clinton’s tweet and indicated that she did not know the true origin of the attack.
In his tweet, Elon Musk referred his millions of followers to an article in the Santa Monica Observer that claimed Mr Pelosi was assaulted by a gay male prostitute he had previously met at a gay bar.
Even though Elon Musk was quick to delete his tweet a few hours later in response to the outcry it sparked, the damage is done. This revealed his true personality. He’s as conspiratorial as Donald Trump. Indeed, this character seems more enlightened than visionary, and his attraction to Trump heralds troubling years for American democracy.
Can Elon Musk continue to be a visionary by delving into conspiracy theory and challenging hard facts? Donald Trump is also asking his supporters to follow him in the allegedly rigged 2020 election.
A Trump-Musk pair is enough to shake democracies. The richest man in the world, who conspired with the con man who managed to corrupt the democratic institutions of the United States and humiliate his opponents with insults unworthy of his highest office, has posed a real threat for years.
We want to bring nuance to the political perspective. For example, criticize Joe Biden for the lack of vision of democratic governments, including that of Barack Obama, a brilliant but aloof intellectual who is more comfortable in academic dispensaries than in the deadlocked terrain of political politics.
Yes, Democrats have fallen into the traps of otherworldliness and political correctness. Trump managed to pollute the American imagination without the Democrats, locked in their moral certainties, realizing that they were estranging themselves from the people.
Elon Musk’s insane personal life, with his many children, who have mysterious first names like X Æ A-12 Musk or Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, gives a glimpse of how this character will be attracted to extraterrestrials and grow closer to Trump. For worse, there’s no doubt about that.
