What did Trump do for MAGA votes, and what does Musk want?
• Last night, Musk criticized Trump's immigration policy, tariff policy, and debt bill, and initiated the formation of a third-party voting bloc. From D.O.G.E. to his shift in attitude towards Trump, I personally believe this aligns with Musk's normal stance. (Although the two may be working together secretly)
• Businesspeople are profit-driven. Musk spent tens of millions to use Twitter's public opinion to support the understanding king's rise to power, ultimately resulting in tariffs, cuts to subsidies for new energy vehicles, restrictions on immigration (the importance of immigrant tech talent to tech companies goes without saying), and even hostile crowds leading to Tesla losing $30 billion, without reaping any benefits, doing all this just to help reduce the debt in America, while also staying at Silver Lake for a few days. From this, we can see why Musk is dissatisfied with the understanding king.
• As someone in the cryptocurrency community, I don't see the understanding king cutting anything outside, but in the crypto space, he used his reputation to rake in a huge profit, harvesting a large amount of MAGA votes and filling his pockets.
• Supporting the president's rise to power, if it doesn't bring benefits, then it's time to switch support to someone else. Musk wants to establish a new faction; can he stir up a little wave?
