Musk endorsed Trump so that Trump would specifically say that EVs are okay. He got  more traffic on X than ever before. So more publicity, more sales. He did not give Trump any money (yet). So Elon gets something out of this.

The second thing is that Biden has dumped on Elon every which way so Elon is not thrilled to endorse the Ds. The first thing Biden did when he got into office was to invite the CEO's of car companies for a meeting. Except he did not invite Musk (even though Musk is an American car company) because Musk does not run a union shop. That was the reason and Musk has not forgotten.

No other company is profiting on their EVs (they sell them at a loss so far). Only Tesla is selling at a profit. Why? Because mass production matters.

Finally, Musk was first into the EV market. There would be no EV market without Musk and Tesla. He said at the beginning that he wanted other companies to join him and they have so that's good.

Tesla builds a good car and other companies are now adopting the Tesla charging standard. Tesla has the biggest charging network. Musk can be as crazy as he wants to be. Lots of people do not buy a car based on who started the company. A lot of Americans work for Tesla and have created an EV when no one else had done it before. The company is way more than just Elon. Many talented engineers and workers there.

Do you remember when people gave other people sh*t for buying a Prius (back in the day)? Also people buy I phones even though Apple uses slave labor in China. Other companies just hide their dirty laundry while Elon puts himself out there.

Wrong. Elon founded a super pac in April or May and has beeen funneling money into the fund for months. He also has encouraged some of his tech bros to fund the Trump SuperPac. Elon is currently under investigation by two different state AG offices for fraud in the use of those super packs. Apparently he ask people donating for a lot of information telling them that he is registering them to vote, but he only submits the information for those who live in specific zip codes. [/quote]
