_Does Elon Musk want to be president?
Or is it just coincidence that he uses Twitter the same way Donald Trump did to grease his path to power? Musk's can't-look-away trolling plops him into every news cycle.
The random insults. The feuds with Stephen King, no-name techs and celebrities. The re-tweets of tropes he hasn't thought twice about.
Is this just butt-dialing?
Or did Elon really spend $44 billion to put his daily poop in our lives cause his ego drives him to be King of the Hill?
Only 25% of Americans have ever used Twitter.
But just as they did with Trump, newshounds chase any Musk e-mutter as if it were News. They bring his mug and madness into cyberspace and the world press.
His rogue behavior makes no sense--
Unless he's establishing himself for something even bigger.
Musk-Trump? Surely not Trump-Musk?
Elon takes the sting out of Donald.
And doubles the crazy.
More likely, it's beyond 2024.
A day ago, Musk said he'll back Florida governor Ron DeSantis in 2024, not Trump.
Does Elon fancy himself as king-maker, or someday, King Himself? He has billions to throw away and a social loudspeaker that newbiz saps will broadcast to the rest of the planet.
Both U.S. parties are looking for someone who isn't eighty-fucking years old.
If Oprah, Michelle Obama and DeSantis can be in the mix, what are Elon's midnight fantasies?
More than Twitter for sure.
