On: Trump wins presidency for second time

I know you're not advocating for it but it doesn't make sense to essentially vote in 2x billionaires into office.

I'm just disappointed we may never know what Russia has on Musk. He went from being an avid atheist Democrat to pretending to be a Christian and pushing for Republican like his life depended on it. What is he hiding? Why was he so afraid?

You might as well empty Arkham Asylum whilst all the pardons for crimes are being dished out.

I'd go with occams razor: in this case, it is just political opportunism. Musk saw a dumb, easily flattered guy who would give him a very powerful position in government, which Musk can wield to his own financial benefit. Musk has already tweeted that Lina Khan's days are numbered. That sounds like it is potentially worth millions to Elon.

I'd go for a more obvious explanation. It's not uncommon for people to adopt more extreme and conservative POV as they get older. Social networks don't help.

I think it's pretty obvious — Russia has ASAT weapons and tested them in 2021.

You would not need much to destroy a whole Starlink orbit.
