Elon backing Trump in the 2024 election was one of the dumbest and most obvious own goals in history.

I’m kinda stoked to see what happens when the technocrats are in peril and how they respond to the authoritarian nationalists. Enemy of my enemy is my friend sort of deal.

they’ll just back another nationalist. They’re not really short on them and they’re not going to run out anytime soon.
