The guy is all over the map on any given issue, showing little consistency, and is often hypocritical between what he says and what he does, especially in his businesses.

It's a fine line between Genius and Madness, I wonder where he sits on that scale!The guy is all over the map on any given issue, showing little consistency, and is often hypocritical between what he says and what he does, especially in his businesses.
The rocket industry, especially the Russians, shunned him too (a Russian engineer spit on him) which is how he got into building his own rockets.It's a fine line between Genius and Madness, I wonder where he sits on that scale!
Don't forget, the man was shunned by the entire auto industry, made fun of, and basically told he would never succeed, and they kept laughing at him for several years after!
They aint laughing now! They had better respect him, and they had better fear him!
Agreed, I guess it comes down to how hard he becomes toward something, if he decided to go "All In" on Gun Rights, he would become a very powerful force to be reckoned with! IF he does the wishy-washy thing, well, that's nothing but feel good that might bite him later! With his Twitter deal, he becomes a very powerful arbiter of truth ( Or Lies) and that puts him in a very unique place, he could help us, or hurt us, depending on how he decided to use the force!The rocket industry, especially the Russians, shunned him too (a Russian engineer spit on him) which is how he got into building his own rockets.
I don't doubt he is very very smart, but like I said, if you look at his statements on issues, he is all over the place, impetuous and inconsistent. Then look at what he does in business and you see the hypocrisy - although I am not sure he notices.
I am not trying to criticize him, just trying to say that I doubt he can be counted on as an ally based on a consistent philosophy.
Like I said, he is one of those "I support the Second Amendment, but..." people - which can be the worst kind of "ally" and are not to be trusted in the sense of expecting them to not sell you out.
Disclaimer: I am really glad he started Starlink - I get my dishy tomorrow (hopefully). My WISP service has become almost useless.
There is one, it's called Gab. Somewhat religious based but promotes free speech.I think it would be nice to have a social media platform like that.
When I was a kid, my folks gave me a big mason jar to start my marble collection. As time went by, I acquired more and more marbles until the day came when I couldn't fit any more marbles in the jar.It's a fine line between Genius and Madness, I wonder where he sits on that scale!

Musk's street cred took a major hit on my list with this attitude.
You know what the difference is between your marble collection and my primer collection is?When I was a kid, my folks gave me a big mason jar to start my marble collection. As time went by, I acquired more and more marbles until the day came when I couldn't fit any more marbles in the jar.
At about that point, the individual marbles became less important. I had more marbles than I could ever use.
It was then that I began to realise that it was more important to have the other kids see how many marbles I could collect compared to theirs.
Since I had more, I was the defacto King.... and no else had the right to dispute that.
Yeah ??You know what the difference is between your marble collection and my primer collection is?
I don't keep my primers in a jar
Well. My take-away from his statement was a little more positive. Clearly stating he was in favor of the 2nd, completely disatisfied with Joe (inferred that his 2A attacks played at least some part) and would be voting Republican next go around are all good things.Musk's street cred took a major hit on my list with this attitude.
"The billionaire then told the outlet that he supports "tight background checks" for all gun sales and limiting sales of assault weapons to people in special circumstances, like gun range owners, or people who live in a "high risk location, like gang warfare."
He may be "uneducated" on guns, but he surely has the IQ to figure things out.Well. My take-away from his statement was a little more positive.

Obviously uneducated on "assault weapons", but with his vast following, you know there will be a lot of lemmings in there incapable of thinking for themelves that will follow his voting plan... just cause he said so.
Not ideal, but he broke the mold of influential CEO's speaking out in favor of the 2nd and it wasn't all bad news. These days... that's more of a win than a loss.
'Some rich dude', eh?And why do I care how ignorant some rich dude is about constitutional rights?
I never trusted him.Musk's street cred took a major hit on my list with this attitude.

EM is for class warfare and in THIS CASE gun warfare.So, in other words, if you lived in Chicago you could own one, but if you moved to Sun Valley, Idaho, you'd have to surrender it?
