Elon Musk has said he plans to commit around $45 million a month to a new super political action committee backing former President Donald Trump’s presidential run, according to people familiar with the matter.

Other backers of the group, called America PAC, include Palantir Technologies co-founder Joe Lonsdale, the Winklevoss twins, former U.S. ambassador to Canada Kelly Craft and her husband, Joe Craft, who is CEO of coal producer Alliance Resource Partners
Formed in June, America PAC is focused on registering voters and convincing constituents to vote early and request mail-in ballots in swing states, according to one of the people. The coalition assessed that the Democrats have historically had very robust “get out the vote” campaigns and took note of the amounts of money that the Biden administration has dedicated to so-called “on the ground” efforts in swing states. America PAC will try to counter that.

I've been cautious about Elon. But if he's really jumping in on saving this place. Then AMEN brother welcome aboard.

I get the impression he is about as close to a libertarian we may see in the upper echelons of his peers

 

[subybaja]

Wow. 2 days ago I saw him in an interview hedging hard that "I do not support Biden. ", but refusing to actively support Trump.

This is great.

Take that, Soros.

 

[Mr.Ratbastard]

Hell yeah.

Elon just cemented his status as Literally Hitler Jr to every libtard in America. The amount of used Tesla's that will be up for sale tomorrow morning is going to break the internet.

Prior to covid, a buddy of mine bought a Tesla 3 and brought it by for me to check it out. He kept referring to Musk as "Elon", as if they were friends on a 1st name basis. The dude was a saint to him at the time. Fast forward to the twitter fiasco, and his buyer's remorse went through the roof.

If that car doesn't have a for sale sign in the front yard after hearing this, I will be surprised.

Elon built the Matrix

Pretty much.

I bet he would be great at high level computer hacking too if he were ever to go that route. Also probably a guy you wouldn't want to fuck with much if you know what I mean...

Pretty fucking telling that basically nobody ever does a conversion in the other direction

Personal observation: It seems the more one geeks about history and economics, and the effects of governments throughout those, they are very rarely far left leaning.

Gotta be a bitch for your Messiah to align themselves with your sworn enemies.

The far left hated Elon already anyway.

He's been right about a lot more than he's been wrong about.

Well...there is the electric car thing. But politically speaking.

What was he wrong about? He proved it economically viable. Just gotta market that shit right to the right people who can live with the limitations.

Yep. Lots of people commute short distances every day and don't travel much farther on their vacations/trips. They don't need to tow anything or haul heavy loads. Electric works great for them as long as the price to charge it every night stays below the price to fill up a similar car with a tank of gas every week or so.

I thought about it, and both my wife and I could probably own electrics for our daily drivers with no issues. Shoot, I could probably live 90% of my life with a lightening or goofy looking cyber truck with no issues. Main reason I don't buy one is the small percentage of my life I spend on long road trips to the middle of nowhere or towing a jeep.

Since my brother is two time Tesla fan boy he am always sure to remind him of his republican demigod

He's so butt hurt about the flip he doesn't even watch the rockets anymore

Repair costs when the battery goes bad?

Or if one is in a crash, repair costs are stupid high.

Tires wearing faster.

Infrastructure to charge not in place.

You need to price out a trans rebuild and some fancy LED head/tail lights for a current year F150 or something. It ain't 1980 anymore.

The problem with EVs is low volume shit. Like good fucking luck getting parts for a gold EV without shipping them from Germany. But that's any low volume car.

Tires wearing faster.

Inconsequential talking point drummed up by Sorors funded CarsBad(TM) environmentalists IMO.

Infrastructure to charge not in place.

This is the only legit complaint, but there's tons of people who simply don't need that infrastructure because they can charge at home and it's not their only car.

Elon doesn’t really care about that. He was right that he could get enough suckers to buy them that it would be economically feasible for him to build and sell electric vehicles.

 

[Ditchrunner]

I would buy an electric car for a commuter if I didn’t already have too many niche vehicles.
Besides, working from home now a lot more so don’t really need it.
But I have a solar install being planned as part of my new house build so running cost would have been negligible.

On the flip side- the people who probably could benefit from electric cars the most(low income in low income housing or apartments), are hosed because they don't have somewhere to charge at home.
