Elon Musk

Ha, ha, it won't.

The thing with "Trumpian tactics" is that it's nothing more than greed with the cult of personality.

There's more to it than that. There's his ability to frame the narrative in simple chunks that uneducated people think they understand. There's the ability to create punchy slogans that resonate -- he's a really good adman. And there's his unpredictable nature. I think Musk is trying on some of this stuff.

Of course he doesn't have the same sway as Trump, but he does have a devoted following.

Not to mention that Musk is a stupid, privileged, white billionaire who, like all billionaires, has a posse of lawyers and accountants looking for loopholes to make him get away with crimes and, thus, make him look smart.

Musk is a lot of things, but "stupid" isn't one of them. We underestimated Trump in 2016 and look where we are now. If you wish to make the same mistake with Musk, go ahead. I'm a "once bitten, twice shy" kinda dude.
