Sometimes family member knows more about that person.

Elon Musk says he won't donate $45 million a month to re-elect Donald Trump after all​

"“What’s been reported in the media is simply not true. I am not donating $45 million a month to Trump,” Musk said in an interview over his X platform with Jordan Peterson, the far-right Canadian psychologist and media personality. He went on to say that “I don’t prescribe to [a] cult of personality,” and that America PAC “is not supposed to be a sort of hyperpartisan” group, but rather one that promotes "meritocracy" and "freedom" from “as much government intervention as possible.”"

Elon backtracking. He said he's not a MAGA (don't want to associate with those Deplorables).
He said he's MAG - Make America Great.
He can't have it both ways when Trump lose.

Heard a story that Elon would be interested in a position on an 'efficiency commission' if Trump is elected. He did fire 80% of Twitter when he took over and it still works and this rocket engine is only 7 years apart. Hire that man!

He supports electric vehicles as part of the overall market. If you want one you can buy one. If you want an ICE vehicle you can buy one. No mandates or incentives. Let the market do the talking
