Billionaire Elon Musk has donated to a super political action committee working to elect Donald Trump to the White House, a major gambit by the world’s richest person to make his imprint on the US political landscape.
Even a shitstain like Musk has his worth: he made me recognize that there are no exceptions to the rule that there are no ethical billionaires.
i kinda liked him many years ago; a fact that makes me pretty unhappy with myself. I really thought that his push for wide adoption of EVs might be a sign of philantropy and a sense of ethics. i’m seldom THAT far off the mark, so i have to thank him in a kinda awkward way for dropping his act.
I’ll be completely honest: I was on board the hype train. I thought it was awesome that someone was investing in EV’s and pushing them into the market. Hell, I was even fooled by the whole hyperloop thing…
I’m glad it’s not too late to admit that I was terribly wrong about the guy.
At the same time, I don’t blame those that were fooled back then, and I most definitely don’t blame anyone for having bought a Tesla and keeping it even though the guy turned out to be who he is. Some years ago he honestly looked like he was trying to do a lot of good, at least for those of us that didn’t look very closely.

You’re not alone, I was in the same boat. I was not a fan of him or anything, but I had hoped he would do more good than… whatever he is doing now.
