The issue for Musk's companies is that he has aligned himself so deep with Trump, it will be impossible for any subsequent Democrat-led government to work with either Tesla or SpaceX on any government contracts. The huge majority of SpaceX contracts are with the government, from NASA or the DOD.

He knows this. Thus the only viable path forward at this juncture is to ensure that Democrats never win elections again, by whatever means necessary.

What we are seeing now is a shift in the Democratic Party similar in fervor to the rise of the Tea Party in 2010. Back then the GOP base felt lost and betrayed after the disaster GW Bush wrought with the Iraq War and Great Depression. It led to the reform of the party which culminated led to MAGA.

The Tea Party saw the gradual purge replacement of establishment GOP congress members (Reaganites) with the overtly racist and generally wackjob MAGA conservatives that are in Congress today. Today we are beginning to see calls to purge of neoliberal Dems (Clintonites) that will reshape the party.

It sure looks like the tempo of the modern economy is about to reach a significant downturn. In 2023, the US was the only economy in the world to achieve a soft landing and avoid a recession. Economic downturns are part of the ebb and flow of capitalism, but countries can mitigate them if prepared.

The daily lives of most Americans revolve around having a boss and doing exactly what the are told to do. The whole corporate hierarchy is built on authority and unilateralism. No surprise that many Americans are comfortable with authoritarians in government. It's how life is in the private sector.

“If the leader [boss] is authoritarian, this could potentially create vicious cycles where the leader continues to promote their false beliefs, and followers continue to agree with them, but because most followers wouldn’t want to disagree with their leader, this may create pluralistic ignorance.”

It is widely understood that most of the public will now swallow the narrative that a coming recession would be on Biden. Americans always, always blame the party in power, specially on economy. They even put some blame on Obama for the 2008 recession, which started 6 months before he took office.

The fucking around is over. The finding out is in full effect. “Jennifer Piggott proudly hung a Trump campaign flag outside her one-story home during the November election race. Now, after she was abruptly fired from her civil service job, her days of supporting the president are over.”

According to a report, Elon Musk and Little Marco had a heated exchange in the Oval, with Trump watching. Trump took Rubio's side, saying that Dept. Secretaries should handle their personnel layoffs, not Musk. Musk shot back at Trump, saying that this is how he runs his billion dollar companies.

It’s pretty striking how interest in SpaceX has plummeted since Elon went full fascist over the past 6 months. Space content creators, who heavily covered SpaceX’s Starship program, have reported over 50% loss in viewership in the last couple of months. It’s all crashing down in flames.

Tesla shares have tumbled 40% and have now lost 87% of their post-election boom, signaling that it was all hype a MAGA hype bubble. Shares of the company could continue to go down past correction territory, given how sales have slumped, specially in Europe.

Tesla sales in Europe year over year as of today: 59% down in Germany. 63% down in France. 75% down in Spain. 12% down in UK. 38% down in Norway. Norway is noteworthy because the country has more electric vehicles than combustion vehicles. In contrast, China's BYD sales are up a remarkable 187%.

22% of the country believes the costs of living are going in the wrong direction. Historically, these type of numbers would doom the party in power during midterms. However, the map for 2026 isn’t favorable towards Democrats, with most GOP midterm seats being up in deep red states.

57% of Americans support continuing to arm Ukraine against Russia. 21% “don’t know.”

Trump's approval on cost of living drops to 31% amid tariff concerns. The majority of Trump voters live on the margins of affordability.
