This is so weird, did he miscalculate how intense the backlash would be? or he truly doesn't care?

He doesn’t care. Spacex is more important for him, personally. He has a larger stake (percentage wise) in spacex.

Also, Tesla just jumped bc Musk said that there’s going to be full sell driving in china…. Next year…

We’re back to 2017-era strategies but in china this time.

Isn't the potential revenue of spacex way lower? That market is quite a bit smaller than cars, and will be for the foreseeable future.

Not to mention... if/when there is a change in administrations, his lucrative contracts with the government will likely be canceled.

It’s “when”

Honestly I don’t see trump living through this term, let alone another.

No other republican has his cult of personality, so idk what they’re going to do when he keels over.

Generally, when someone reaches 80, they tend to live another 7 or 8 years.

Whether he declines before then, to a point of uselessness for the republicans, is a different question. Also I'm assuming someone is pumping him full of every drug available to prevent his decline as much as possible.

vance seems to think he's next in line, having been anointed by the billionaire class, but he's all hatred and no charisma. Although saying that, he may just shuffle into the top spot when it's impossible to dislodge him. Or he may just get accepted by whichever bot farms drive the rightwing social media frenzy.

I'm personally hoping that their general fascist incompetence will fuck their chances of an everlasting reich.

Trump's dad lived to 93.

It's when if we are still a democracy.

This seems very similar to claims I heard from Republicans about Biden a year or two ago.
