Musk is either an unstable and impulsive turd, or a clever and methodical turd. ( Turd being uncontroversial ).
He jumped on the Trump-wagon shortly after Trumpy Dumpty's miraculous escape from evil: did blood rush to the Musky head; he bought in to the notion that the election was as good as over?
Or smart enough to realise that this was a nothing burger that would blow over, and that from the trough of despair that the democrats were in, they would arise, and actually cough up a viable candidate who wasn't like 80 and senile.
In the midst of an irrational burst of Trumpy enthusiasm was a good time to stake a claim to Trumpy's loving fans ... for 2028. Trumpy's day of heroic defiance, waving his fist, snarling at the world, against a backdrop of Ol' Glory: only one direction from there folks, and that's down.
Down, down, down.
I suspect the latter scenario explains Musk. He is in his own way as much as a Turd as Trump, but also reasonably intelligent. And cynical. And devious. And ambitious.
But Musk can't be President. So, next best thing? Be the guy who buys himself a pet President?
If Trump can become president by being a dumb Turd, surely Musk can find a suitable prop, being as he is such as smart Turd?
All he needs is a bunch of unattached groupies, looking for the next big thing after Trumpy.
