Robert Reich, The Guardian: Elon Musk is rapidly transforming his enormous wealth -- he's the richest person in the world - into a huge source of unaccountable political power that's now backing Trump and other authoritarians around the world.
@#1
As an aside...
I do appreciate that someone else seems to find Mr Musk joining a potential Trump administration as being "funny."
But the serious aspect of that is that it may not be the only "funny" thing in a future Trump administration.
And do note I type this as Frank Zappa's song, Don't Eat The Yellow Snow is playing here.

"watch out where the huskies go, don't you eat that yellow snow...."
Yeah #5 was intended to be funny. :)
Here's another for ye...
Ideology - Billy Bragg (1986)

Lyrics excerpt...
...
When one voice rules the nation
Just because they're on top of the pile
Doesn't mean their vision is the clearest
The voices of the people
Are falling on deaf ears
Our politicians all become careerists
They must declare their interests
But not their company cars
Is there more to a seat in parliament
Then sitting on your arse
And the best of all this bad bunch
Are shouting to be heard
Above the sound of ideologies clashing
Outside the patient millions
Who put them into power
Expect a little more back for their taxes
Like school books, beds in hospitals
And peace in our bloody time
All they get is old men grinding axes
Who've built their private fortunes

Re: #9 #11
Harris isn't a traitor to the country and a threat to democracy like Trump and Musk. Duh.
