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.

It's when if we are still a democracy.
