The global situation has reached a very critical turning point, and the world's richest man, Musk, has seen what is about to happen.
Everyone knows that Musk has now bet his entire fortune on supporting Trump, leaving himself almost no way out. According to his own words: if he fails, he will face endless prison disasters, never see his children again, and perhaps someone will seek revenge on him.
Even so, he firmly stood on Trump's side. He not only personally took the stage to campaign for Trump but also invested heavily in swing states, fully unleashing his resources in a high-stakes gamble.
According to U.S. media reports, to secure swing states and increase Trump's chances of winning, Musk has recently released two major moves.
One is to distribute money; as long as you sign the petition, Musk will give you $47. If you get your 60-year-old grandmother to sign the petition, you can continue to receive a $47 reward, quickly identifying potential Trump supporters through this viral approach.
Another approach is to distribute large sums of money. In the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania, as long as you are willing to sign a petition, you can receive a direct reward of $100. Additionally, Musk will set aside $1 million each day for a lottery; anyone who signs the petition has a chance to win, allowing them to turn their lives around.
Once these two big moves were released, they immediately caused a stir across the U.S.; the voting enthusiasm in seven swing states surged to unprecedented heights.
Seeing such things, I know some will raise doubts. Isn't this just buying votes? Why is such a thing allowed?
In fact, the Democratic Party also raised questions. They believe Musk is insulting the fairness of U.S. elections, which is unacceptable. However, Musk's operations are indeed legal because he is not paying people to vote for Trump; he is asking them to sign a petition that supports freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, which are reasonable rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. Even the U.S. judicial department cannot find any fault.
I know some will say, if that's the case, what's the point of spending this money? The reason is simple: in the U.S., those who support the right to bear arms are basically conservative voters, who are potential supporters of the Republican Party. Musk uses this method of distributing money to screen people, which can directly mobilize some undecided individuals to support Trump, while also obtaining their contact information for subsequent operations.
In short, if this is done well, it can greatly increase Trump's chances of winning. Friends familiar with the U.S. situation know that both the Democratic and Republican parties have their own loyal voter bases, and these states can generally secure support without much effort. Therefore, in past elections, the focus has mainly been on the seven swing states. Whoever can gain the support of the swing states can win the U.S. election. Musk's operation is essentially a public declaration of enmity against the entire Democratic Party. If Trump is successfully elected, then it's fine; but if Harris wins, Musk's future may be very bleak.
Many people find it hard to understand why the always smart Musk would make such a move with no way out.
I see many people online analyzing that some say it is because the Democratic Party's LGBT policies led to Musk's eldest son becoming his eldest daughter, and the grievance over the son's gender transition is irreconcilable, which is why Musk supports Trump.
Some also say that it is because the Democratic Party undermined Musk's compensation and reward plans, causing him to lose billions unjustly, which is why he openly turned against them.
These are indeed some reasons, but they have not touched the root of the matter. The reason Musk supports Trump without hesitation is fundamentally because he sees two trends. Guided by these two trends, he understands that only by supporting Trump can he gain the greatest benefits.
First, let's talk about the first trend: the institutional crisis in the U.S. is about to explode.
Regarding America's future, Musk has made it very clear. He said that if the Democratic Party continues to win this year, it could be the last truly meaningful election in the U.S.
In recent years, the Democratic Party has been sending a large number of illegal immigrants to swing states. When these immigrants enter the U.S., the Democratic Party tells them that if they vote for us, we will provide them with legal status. This behind-the-scenes operation has disrupted the balance of U.S. elections, leading to a situation where the once balanced swing states are now close to being dominated by the Democratic Party.
What is even more frightening is that the number of illegal immigrants continues to surge. Following the current trend, if the Republican Party cannot win in 2024, then chances for 2028 and 2032 will be even slimmer. The future of the U.S. may very well turn into a one-party system, and the political system that has been maintained for hundreds of years may collapse.
Once this situation takes shape, Musk will face two outcomes:
The first is a major internal conflict in the U.S., leading to a civil war that would collapse Musk's foundation. This scenario is the worst.
Secondly, there was no civil war in the United States, but the Democratic Party has been in power for a long time. The Democratic Party advocates for higher taxes on the rich and prefers to limit the development of cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence, which are important components of Musk's business. If the Democratic Party continues its governance, it will greatly restrict Musk, both financially and in terms of technological development, equivalent to wearing a tight restraint.
Therefore, based on the current basic pattern in the U.S., Musk believes that only by betting on Trump and letting the Republican Party rise to power can he gain the most benefits. This is one of the important reasons for his support for Trump.
In addition to this reason, Musk also supports Trump because of the second trend, which is the trend of de-globalization in the future.
Globalization is clear to everyone; it involves each country performing its role, leading to a global division of labor to ensure maximum production efficiency and capital profits.
Specifically manifested as producing an airplane.
Patents and designs are provided by Americans.
Raw materials and energy are provided by Africa and the Middle East.
Finally, everything is consolidated and handed over to factories in southern China, where workers will work in shifts to assemble the products, which are then sold worldwide by Americans.
This approach has a very obvious advantage: all countries can do business based on their strengths. If you have a large labor force, engage in processing; if you have abundant resources, sell them; if you have advanced technology, develop patents. Everyone collaborates and makes money together.
Over the past few decades, countries around the world have achieved tremendous development through this model, and a golden period of global economic growth has emerged.
However, there is a clear drawback to the globalization division of labor. Taking the U.S. as an example, the northern regions used to be important industrial bases, where many American workers were employed in factories.
However, as globalization progresses, the U.S. has transferred a large number of industries to Asia, which has led to the problem of mass unemployment among workers in the northern U.S. Many of them have little education and can only do manual labor. When factories relocate, they have three choices:
First, he could switch to high-paying jobs, such as in finance, law, or medicine. Of course, the probability is extremely low.
Second, he could continue to change jobs and do some relatively strenuous and low-paying work, such as being a truck driver or a restaurant server.
Thirdly, he could become a homeless person.
In other words, the process of globalization will lead to a significant number of people in the U.S. experiencing declining incomes, while another group, such as Wall Street elites, will see their incomes skyrocket. This will exacerbate the wealth gap and intensify social conflicts in the United States.
Until 2016, when Trump came to power, he proposed 'America First' and clearly stated that U.S. domestic interests should take precedence, which was essentially opposing globalization. His viewpoint immediately gained the support of American rednecks.
Europe is in a similar situation. With the manufacturing industry moving abroad due to globalization, Europe is also experiencing a collective rightward shift.
In fact, the root of all this lies in the globalization promoted by capital groups for maximum profit, which ultimately leads to mass unemployment among lower classes, reduced incomes, and an increasing wealth gap. This model is becoming unsustainable, which is why the global situation is rapidly shifting rightward.
To alleviate the explosion of this hidden danger, the West has chosen two paths:
The first measure is to establish trade barriers, reverse globalization, and bring manufacturing back to alleviate unemployment among the lower classes. This is the root of the madness of raising tariffs and waging trade wars.
The second measure is to instigate war, shift conflicts, and eliminate some productive forces to delay the outbreak of internal problems.
This trend may be unclear to ordinary people, but Musk, as the richest person in the world, must have seen the direction clearly long ago. He understands that in the current situation, only by allowing the relatively conservative Trump to take power can he maximize his benefits, as only Trump can temporarily suppress the rednecks at the bottom of America, giving Musk enough time and space to strategize.
Otherwise, if the Democratic Party takes power, Musk's investments in artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, satellites, and the internet will likely face significant restrictions.
Everyone must understand that Musk is primarily a businessman. He has trillions of dollars in industry holdings and when considering problems, it is certainly from the perspective of overall interests, not simply because of his son's gender transition or losing billions.
Moreover, Musk has not only bet on Trump; he has also left himself other options. For instance, Musk's mother is now in Shanghai, and Musk himself has a large-scale factory in Shanghai. Before going all-in on Trump, he even suggested that we could establish a 'Taiwan Special Administrative Region,' which received approval from the Foreign Ministry.
You must remember that Musk is the richest person in the world. The information he has access to far exceeds that of ordinary people. He would not easily push himself into a corner. Every step he takes now could save his life in the future.#SEC批准多支比特币ETF期权 #美国大选前行情观察 #比特币挖矿难度创历史新高 #美国大选如何影响加密产业?
