Believe everything said without any basis for belief, and that's how most politicians seize power and build power. Before the election, we saw Elon Musk working closely with Trump to achieve power, and now there's a rift in their cooperative relationship. So how can we trust these two men to handle important matters? Politics is inseparable from national life, but we need to know that they are ruthless and will do anything to achieve their goals.
I tried checking any news outlets that reported that Elon Musk's party will make Bitcoin a legal tender and I couldn't find anyone. Anyone who trusts politicians will be disappointed. They can promise anything to gain political power. When they are elected,  you will know that it was a bait to get your vote. I don't trust Trump and Elon, Bitcoin should be apolitical.

But one thing most people overlook is that Tesla still holds more than 10kBTC to date. That means Elon's support for bitcoin hasn't gone away and he's just reiterating his support. The difference between Elon and other politicians is that he has been supporting bitcoin since 2021 while Trump and other politicians have called bitcoin a scam before. They only really changed their tune and came back to support BTC when they ran for president.
Trump called bitcoin a scam in 2021 when he left office at the end of his first term, why is no one mentioning this?

Elon Musk has not been a steadfast supporter of Bitcoin. He was good at causing FUD in the market. He stopped Tesla from accepting Bitcoin claiming that it destroys the environment.  If he were not considering promoting a political party,  would he have reconsidered his support?
