Musk's Dangerous Balancing Act, Dancing on Trump's Line#
Musk is currently walking a very fine tightrope.
On one side, he needs to maintain traffic and support for the X platform from the right,
while on the other side, he wants to play the role of a tech neutral, balancing between left and right.
As a result, Trump directly punctured this facade.
"We are no longer on good terms," "Don't fund the Democrats, or there will be serious consequences"
This is a form of showdown.
If Musk continues to obscure his stance, he will end up pleasing neither side,
losing the deep ties with the Republicans while provoking hostility from the Democrats.
Tech giants cannot dance on the political sidelines forever,
they will have to take a stand sooner or later, with the cost being either to reign or be vilified.
