Musk & why he is not liked or accepted IMO: 1)Trump liking him does not translate, mean the population MUST like him 2)he has not been vetted, not gone through confirmation hearings & public expects

that & assumes there is a reason why he has not 3) he is being forced onto the public, public does not like that 4)he was not properly introduced as to what he is/will be doing, we are in the dark 5)

he is arrogant, rude, obnoxious on his good days, and maybe that is his style, that is ok for him, but the public does not like that…based on the reception 6) he cussed the nation out when we were debating the work visa issue telling Americans if they did not like his views ‘go fuck yourself in the face’, public does not like that 7)POTUS Trump said he is the smartest man he knows in America, but POTUS Trump is wrong on this (and can be wrong and has been wrong before), and public knows this; 47 thinking Musk is the smartest person he knows does not mean he is 8)he appeared in full AFTER the election and has been foisted upon us and given power and access that the public is not accustomed seeing, given to anyone, and public does not like that and we never were told this would be the relationship between he and 47…they elected 47, not Musk 9)he has multiple babies with multiple women that in the normal scheme of things (be it a brown or black man or white poorer man) is frowned upon and not approved of (will be called a dog, a slut, a denigrate, a loser, an abuser, a woman hater, a pimp etc.) in our society and yet Musk is given a pass because of his money and who he hangs around with and others who think they will get some of his money remain silent…

IMO I do not give a rats ass about his proclivities but his personal behavior does not square with conservative values or normal values and he now holds a lofty kind of leader space in our society, and yet no one says anything, and public does not like that, they see the double standard 10)he is apparently conflicted due to his businesses and access to US tax dollars and sensitive information, public does not like that and understands that 11)reporting shows that he has gotten 40 billion US tax dollars $ and today is firing people when they are guilty of only taking a federal job, affecting many families, lives etc. 12)using the term ‘fired’ is wrong and it is not about wordsmithing, it is a critical issue…there are on average 4 to 5 people in that household of the person ‘fired’ and many service people, many police, families, millions…what needs to be done can be done ‘differently’…not like the Apprentice or Twitter and not by ‘tone deaf’ billionaires in a callous manner…IMO 13)many questions as to Musk’s ties to China and CCP are out there and public does not like that and no one in government or anywhere seems to mind…14)public does not appreciate an unelected person with no vetting or swearing in etc. standing there as the sworn in cabinet members etc. sit silent in the OVAL and they report to him, it just does not make sense, a piece is missing, someone is not telling the public a critical piece…or the truth…

The only thing that fascinates people about Musk is his money. Nothing else, the public does not think highly of his cars, his business etc. Or him and it is because of his personality. He did that. Especially since being showcased by POTUS.

I do not think Musk means bad, I think he means well, he is clumsy and awkward like many of us, and it is not a disqualifier...I think the manner he has been rolled out by Trump world has hurt him and in a way it is unfair.

Maybe the manner POTUS has ‘brought him out, did hurt Musk. It is worth considering. And not fair to him. But from the public’s perspective, most of his businesses is fancy and fascinating and intriguing but most of it does not improve their daily lives. That is another dimension to this. A clear disconnect. Most people do not want an electric car or his electric car. Or to go to MARS. Or to become half human, half robot etc. Or any of those things. These are cute things to chat about but not for hard working bread and butter Americans. Who keep the lights turned on. The public wants the government efficient, and money saved and the best for the USA, hands down, and want what is being done…to be done…of course let us find inefficiencies etc. but it must be done in a particular way, with humanity, dignity, respect, understanding. The US government and nation is not a construction development site or Twitter. This the public ‘gets’. That POTUS could have MTG’s boyfriend go after Ukraine’s cross dresser pump wearing President Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit in the OVAL yet grins and cups Musk’s stones when he could…when Musk dresses same in OVAL etc.…public does not like double standards…it is glaring.

Again, 47 has a fetish for Musk, seemingly, and this is nice, his choice, but does not mean the public does. Trump is learning he cannot make the public ‘like’ or approve of Musk. Musk had or has to do it. He has failed thus far. By his mannerisms. His style. This can be fixed. Musk may be remarkable, a really good person, human being. But the public needs to decide that, not Trump for them.

The introduction of Musk was done wrong, obnoxious ‘in your face’ IMO and it is playing out by the reception. I suggest a redo. I do. I think it can then change the combativeness and reticence and belligerence on all of this, on all sides. Come to the people (POTUS Trump), not as a slight or glancing, not in a 2-minute sound bite, not via the Press Secretary, not as a joke, but seriously…a proper explanation POTUS of what this guy is about, why him…what is the objective, have him sit in front of the senate as everyone else, under oath, and explain how he is not conflicted and NOT benefitting due to his links to the US government. Have him re-introduce himself to the nation and have all his staff be showcased, to the public. There should be openness, explicitness, transparency in all that he/they do. That is all. It is that simple. Musk’s ‘coming out’ was done obnoxiously and wrong and can be redone to get ‘buy-in’ and for people to not react the way they are. IMO. Whatever was done, explained, did not stick or go over well. Can be seen by the reception. This is wrong. It can be fixed.

Americans want the actions, just not how it is being done seemingly and not by Musk, not today. So, he has to be ‘re-tooled with some new lipstick’…I think if done well, appropriately, respectful of the nation, devoid of his hubris and arrogance, and not ex cathedra and overlording, that the nation will accept his work etc. They may better understand the objective. By 47 too. I do agree that anyone who destroys his property, Telsa cars that do not belong to them, his dealerships etc. must be jailed, punished harshly. Swiftly. I do not approve or like that his business suffers by vandalism etc. Like if they did to anyone else. Punished. He is not special, and those actions are indeed criminal. And he needs to shut up on matters that does not concern him…I read a recent paper where the congress and senators want him to shup to hell up…I think I understand what they mean.

IMO

But you do not need like it or accept it, it is just my opinion. I am open to yours.

We live in a nation based on rules and laws and if we disagree, we go to the ballot box or courts. We do not harm and attack each other; we do not work to burn each other down. We are blessed to be here and have a chance at life, to make a difference, so let us find ways to do best for our nation, community, world, each other. Civilly. Uplifting, not tearing down.
