Does anyone has a logical explanation of why Elon is supporting Trump? Why is he going to this length, alienate many of his supporters by supporting an political party. What’s is the end goal, since nothing makes sense right now.

This saviour complex is a big part of it. That said, all these big “self made” billionares suffer from it. That’s why they all refuse to pay taxes but will instead make a charity foundation so they can choose which public interest is best served by “their” money. Like another poster said, Elon’s public interest is apartheid, which aligns with Trump.

I think you’re being way too charitable. Billionaires have zero interest in actually making the world a better place. The charitable foundations stuff is a way for them to avoid taxes, exert control over public policy, and to gain positive PR.
