Via Stuart Stevens just now on #Musk. Oof!
emptywheel reposted Stuart Stevens: One of the more amusing aspects of this campaign has been watching @elonmusk make a fool of himself babbling on about a subject he is completely ignorant. The consultants he is paying to set up an "organization" are taking advantage of him like an 18 year old frat boy with $1,000 in a strip club. They tell him what he wants to hear, and he puts in more money. There is a view that Musk is not some genius, that he stumbled into making a fortune in PayPal (which was a stumble; read Peter Thiel's biography, "The Contrarian") and had a lot of ambition and passions and a high risk tolerance. | find those traits admirable, but they should not be confused with any genius. That he has some need to pretend he is a rocket scientist, car inventor (he bought Telsa, didn't start it), etc. I have noidea. But | do know when it comes to politics, he is one of the most gullible suckers to walk into the political bazaarin along time. He knows nothing but feels obligated to prove it constantly. He's building a lot of beach houses for the consultants who are fleecing him. I would expect he will try to sue them after the race. And fail. Because they just nodded and agreed and took his money. It's notillegal to be a fool throwing money around. Elon Musk @elonmusk - 8h: Pennsylvania is on track for a major Republican victory. The gap between 2024 and 2020 is now over 600k, which almost 10% of the entire electorate!
