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.

Drugs.

His massive rightward swing seemed to correspond with when his drug use was reported in the media.

I think his drug use makes him feel like he can’t be wrong and reinforced his conspiracy laden mindset… And that pushes him into fact-free conservative-Central.

No he isn’t. Do you seriously believe Trump’s economic “plan” is going to make anything better? I mean sure, they can exploit the plebes even harder, but if no-one can afford your products, you don’t have a viable business.

But if you have a company whose only customer is the government then you don’t need to worry about the plebs buying your shit.

His major product is SpaceX. His major customer is the government for the launches and contracts he sells, and his major detriment is government regulation of these launches.

Being on the good side of the government benefits both.

Why is Elon Musk acting like he’s a nazi?

Occam’s razor says, it’s because he’s a nazi.

Ego. Ok also union busting but largely ego. Around the same time one of his children who happens to be trans from his first wife (who also publicly denounced him) publicly disowned him and his long term on again off again partner left him for a short lived fling with Chelsea Manning, a trans woman famous for going to prison for leaking human rights abuses by the military in the Iraq war. And around that time democrats started getting anti billionaire talking points going very mainstream. And so he began courting the right. He was already addicted to twitter and he found himself deep in the alt right pipeline.

I think after breaking up with Grimes, he became really unstable. Similar to Kanye and how he broke up with Kim Kardashian.
