I realize that Bannon called Musk an infant the other day, and when I first heard it, I thought: you're not wrong.
But after this morning's War Room ep, in which he interviewed the former Democrat & Obama fundraiser and tech investor Allison Huynh (pronounced WINN) explained (from her personal and professional relationship w/ Musk), I'm convinced:
MAGA and the rest of Humanity got to see Musk's inner Papa Bear, informed by his genius and a messiah complex the size of - pun intended - the Moon.
The guy believes down to his core that the only way to save the human race is to colonize Mars, a belief which BTW is in direct contradiction what most of us read in Revelation.
Many w/ his IQ, his influence, and his vast resources are conflicted with a messiah complex.
Look at the way he looks at X, his young son. It's my belief that, when he looks at his boy, he looks at every offspring of his, and that nothing, including short-term gain for American citizens, can be allowed to get in the way of getting his and our heirs to Mars.
Few things can cause a guy to react as vigorously and venomously like when he has reason to believe the safety of his children is under threat.
Elon can either roll with us or get off the train. I don't care about his stupid demonic ideas. He's no different than anybody else and his money came from the DoD, which means it came from us! It can be taken away with the stroke of a pen. I don't like how he's running Twitter either. Whole lot of free speech hype for not enough free speech result.
hmmmm
I agree with you that he has to abide by the people's will or take a hike.
But the guy has endured COUNTLESS slings and arrows since before buying X. To me, the fact that his reaction was so over the top? I don't believe it has to do with wealth, not when he bought X at such a tremendous loss.
As Sun Tzu said in The Art of War:
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
Always good to try to understand the motivations of someone as powerful as Musk.
We burned the dems for calling us deplorable... You ain't seen nothing yet Elon... You sell stuff... Good luck with that.
Everyone has their own unpopular opinions. It's not a deal-breaker until they begin to force it on others.
One thing I remember was that Elon was never spoken well of on the Rush Limbaugh show. Rush had a beef with him getting rich off government contracts.
As do I. However, I do think Elon helped facilitate the "Too big to rig", so I have to at least tip my hat to him.
Don't be fooled...
Do you honestly believe it's possible for someone to be twice as intelligent as someone else? (Maybe)..
What about 5 times smarter? 10 times smarter?
Musk is a "product" used for various narratives. He's got a LOT of help to support his persona and maintain his "role".
This idea he's omnipresent, "so smart" and somehow "supernatural" is horseshit.
Anyone of reasonable intelligence will agree, because they know human nature, the capacity of an individual (and limitations - even for high performance people) - and KNOW the facade you see of him on a daily basis, is just that...
There comes a point when you need to put fantasy role playing in its place and get real.
Like a 'Hudsucker Proxy'.
