Elon Musk is an Immigrant-Basher Until He Needs Them for his Companies
World’s richest huckster is buying his own Presidency, supporting MAGA’s racist immigration policies until they hurt his bottom line. He does not care about anyone else but himself.
Everything Musk does is tied to his personal fortunes and powers. He can support the racist MAGA immigration-bashing, except for those immigrants he needs. Musk thinks he is smart, but he’s nowheres nearly as smart as he thinks, and he proves this by failing to grasp that immigrants are as essential to other industries as they are to his.
As I’ve so often said, Elon Musk is a horse’s ass, just a very rich and powerful horse’s ass.
Donald Trump is not exactly the one to call out a person who uses political and government power solely for their own purposes, but I don’t think he anticipated that he was turning his Presidency over to a person he acknowledged could never be President because he was not born in the US. However, Musk is trying to get around that by purchasing the Oval Office, and he’s found the only President willing to sell.
Shouldn’t the GOP-controlled legislature seek to assure America that the person running the country is the one who won the election, and that winner does not get to delegate or substitute for themselves a person not one American ever voted for?
