Musk vs. Trump - Who Will Reign Supreme?

What's the Connection Between Elon Musk and Ron DeSantis?

The recent presidential announcement by Ron DeSantis on Twitter holds more significance in relation to Elon Musk than to DeSantis himself.

What are others reading:

The notable aspect is that Twitter, under Musk's influence, has wholeheartedly embraced the political right.

But what motivates Musk to do this? While he may present himself as the favorite of libertarian enthusiasts, his true aim appears to be leading those who oppose democracy.

Musk's agenda involves crushing unions and transforming the United States into a zone where unlimited profits can be made at the expense of hardworking individuals.

Although he claims to be a "free speech absolutist," this claim is far from the truth. Musk seeks to amplify the voices of individuals like DeSantis while suppressing the speech of workers who seek to unionize.

He has even supported Turkey's recent ban on anti-regime comments in the lead-up to their elections.

Certainly, DeSantis himself does not align with the libertarian ideology, unless one defines a libertarian as someone who bans books, enforces strict reproductive controls on women, threatens to separate transgender youth from supportive parents, prohibits discussions on gender identity or sexual orientation in schools, erases discussions about America's history of racism, and even punishes Mickey Mouse for opposing his authoritarian policies.

What brings Musk and DeSantis together is not libertarianism, but rather, their shared inclination towards authoritarianism.

The shift of Twitter into a prominent platform for right-wing media occurred when Musk lifted bans on numerous accounts that had been spreading misinformation about the pandemic and the 2020 elections.

In recent developments, Tucker Carlson has expressed his intention to bring back his show on Twitter after losing his slot on Fox News (although Musk has denied any official deal between Twitter and Carlson).

Furthermore, it has been reported that The Daily Wire, a right-wing media outlet known for its anti-democratic stance, will be relocating all its podcasts to Twitter.

Undoubtedly, Twitter is capitalizing on the dissatisfaction within the anti-democratic movement, as they seek alternatives to traditional right-wing media outlets like Fox News. Musk can position himself as someone outside the mainstream right-wing media sphere dominated by Rupert Murdoch.

Musk's motivation for aligning himself with the right-wing is driven by his desire for control.

This has been evident in his business endeavors from the beginning. Instead of accepting a seat on Twitter's board, he pursued a hostile takeover, showcasing his pursuit of dominance. His aversion to unions further highlights his inclination for control.

Now, Musk seeks to extend his influence even further. He aims to exert control over the right-wing of American politics, not content with being one of the wealthiest individuals on the planet or having significant control over a major media powerhouse.

His aspirations now extend to imposing his will directly on America and the world, showcasing his insatiable appetite for power and control.

Drawing parallels to another billionaire, Musk's actions bear resemblance to those of the former president.

While Musk claims he isn't formally endorsing any Republican candidate, his support for Republicans is undeniable. It's clear that his attention is laser-focused on the most prominent Republican figure of all: Donald Trump.

At present, Musk aims to send a strong message to Trump, asserting that he possesses the power to make Trump's life difficult if Trump attempts to impede Musk's own endeavors.

Understanding that dealing with a bully requires matching their strength, Musk seeks to demonstrate that he surpasses Trump in terms of wealth and Twitter following, showcasing his influence and control. One way he accomplishes this is by supporting Republicans who oppose Trump, such as DeSantis and Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, as seen in his recent retweet.

While Musk is limited by the US constitution from becoming president due to his birthplace in Pretoria, South Africa, his ambitions to wield power over America and the world in the coming decades know no bounds.

Rest assured, Musk has grand plans for wielding his influence and leaving a lasting impact on the political landscape.
