He got what he really wanted thoโmassive government contracts for SpaceX, Tesla, and Starlink. He's going to get a nice ROI on his investment.
He got Trump to literally change US refugee policy just for his ethnic group.
What are you talking about
Yes, exactly. There is so much worry about the influence of money in politics that people overlook the surprising limits of effectiveness of money in politics.
Power belongs to the people, not to cash-flushed elites playing puppet master.
it's a testament to Musk's lack of judgment. He went all in on Trump without really knowing what he was getting.
All of these also happened while the media were loudly complaining about how he was corrupt.
Many of his failures can be attributed to his efforts to link himself to his money because he believes he has a charisma that he simply doesn't. In addition, he was still able to secure government contracts and shut down investigations, which will make him plenty in the long term
I believe he wanted to reduce EV credits to stifle his competitors
but he also got to direct unfathomable amounts of government contract money to businesses he personally owns.
Naww. Now he and the homies (many our enemies) set for a 3.5 yr sprint

Along with $billions in defense contracts, pressure on smaller countries to choose his Starlink, removal of regulations, fines and litigation.
But he did dismantle some regulatory agencies that were investigating his companies, so thereโs that.
And massively politicized his brand! What liberal wants to buy a Tesla right now?
Also, he has gotten BILLIONS in NEW STARLINK GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS and ALL HIS INVESTIGATIONS AGAINST HIM AND HIS COMPANIES SUDDENDLY DISSAPEARED!!! Will take DECADES to find all the corruption of this Administration!!!!!!
And he got used by Trump to be the bad guy on DOGE, while Trump/Republicans refuse to codify any of his DOGE work
Also evidence that stupidity is a negative. Backing Trump was idiocy.
Musk has, however, benefitted from the gutting of regulatory regimes that had him in its sites.
I met you when the market was down
You helped me get out of the days without sunshine, thank you!

He has always opposed EV/energy credits, tariffs have minimal impact on teslas car operations. But congress has derailed doge effort which is why he has pulled back.
