@#4 ... Elon today is just like Lewzer was in the '90s... waving around in the background to get his face in the tabloids. ...
Yeah, I remember reading those tabloids in the late 1980's and 1990's.
They were on the waiting seats of the barber I went to for haircuts. So, yeah, I have said that I have known of Pres-elect Trump from decades ago. I live in the NYC media area.
But the distinction I see in your comment is that back then Pres-elect Trump was just trying to keep himself in the "news."
Nowadays, i seems like Mr Musk has a different goal.
He is looking for a government position, apparently by sucking up to Pres-elect Trump.
Why?
Well, one reason might be...
If Mr Musk gets a government position, he can sell lots of the stock he owns, but he won't have to pay any capital gains taxes, potentially saving him hundreds of millions of dollars.

[Verse 1]
We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
"Get a job, you ------- slob" is all he replies
[Chorus 1]
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
[Verse 2]
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said: "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll; I'm the man you've been dreamin' of"
But three months later he said he won't date her or return her calls
And she sweared, "Goddamn, If I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls!"
