Someone asked me and I pose again, is Elon Musk America's first OLIGARCH alike in Russia/former Soviet Union? A 'good' one, not a killer one;...is Musk overstepping? id Musk crash 47 + Bezos dinner?
?to unravel bloated & corrupt & over-paid, under-worked federal government, I love that by Elon, but should he threaten elected officials to primary with money if they don't vote his way? Comments?
What say you on these provocative comments?
Definition of oligarch:
‘a very rich business leader with a great deal of political influence’…does Elon fit the bill?
I actually like Musk. A bit overbearing, but I can stomach him. Musk seems tremendous for American business and his foray into politics. I won’t say he is smart, for sure eccentric. What say you? If this is the modern ‘American’ version of oligarch, then I like that. In other words, a more refined updated non-violent non-criminal version of ‘mafia’? A ‘good’ oligarch? A non-violent non-corrupt one? Musk seems to fit that ‘oligarch’ definition.
I sat next to EM for two hours at a charity dinner almost 25 years ago. He's as charming and engaging in person as you see on the internet. You want to like him. He's smart enough and obviously well connected enough to get DoD $$$$$$ for Starlink and of course to muscle Tesla past the nasty automotive lobby, which I've never seen anyone do before. He's got more power now than the person I'd compare him to, Howard Hughes.
On one hand you must admire his accomplishments and pluck. But there is also a dark side and things not well known.

Keep in mind, everyone has a good side and we are all hoping he shows that good side and truly helps to restore the Constitutional Republic we knew as the United States. But we must be watchful.
Elon is from South Africa, but is American now. So, you could say he is African American. LOL
