By the way, I wonder why Elon Musk has gotten some much into this presidential election so suddenly and so heavily supporting Trump for his second term. Somehow and in some way Elon must be planning to profit off a second term for Trump, which still seems weird to me considering Trump himself has mocked electric vehicles while comparing them with gas vehicles, so this is kind of wacky.
Do you believe there is a possibility Trump promised some governmental position within his administration in exchange of his big endorsement and the big money campaign he is doing for those who register? This probably have something to do with the I coming battle for the EV supremacy between EV companies headquartered in China and western companies like Tesla, which are in disadvantage by the way...
I have got the feeling tariffs for Electrical vehicles made in China are going to be up to 300% up in the case Trump wins and Elon is part of his administration.
Probably several reasons. One could be that Musk currently lives in a bubble of his own creation, thinking that everyone will vote for trump as his followers are voting for him.
Also trump has ton of legal bills to cover, and if Musk gave him private loans, he could use that as a leverage if trump gets to be president, and having a president in your pocket could be beneficial for a richest man in the planet.
There might be darker reasons, which can i only speculate without any evidence, but Musk have been in contact with Putin, and that makes me think Putin might have something bad on Musk that he is holding over his head. That would explain his radical change on views in last years.
