When I first addressed this subject two years ago, I never dreamed that Elon Musk, a longtime moderate with libertarian leanings, and Donald Trump, now a convicted felon and a wanna-be dictator disguised as a Republican, would have teamed up, Musk’s money directed to the former sociopath-in-chief’s presidential campaign.

I could not have envisioned the brainy although childlike Musk jumping in the air and actively campaigning for someone completely unfit to lead our nation. Is the South African-born entrepreneur one of those immigrants who avariciously seeks to pull up the entry ladder after arriving in the United States?

Or is it all about avoiding taxes on his estimated $254B net worth, funds that could vastly improve our roads, bridges, healthcare, and school systems? Elon Musk has long been opposed to tax increases on the uber-wealthy.

Although maybe he is in the process of seeking a scapegoat to blame for one of his elder kids coming out as trans and changing her surname from Musk. Perhaps he blames Kamala Harris as a former Senator from California, where the five children from his first marriage reside.

After all, Trump, along with being a racist, is also notoriously anti-LGBTQ.
