    Yeah, if Musk was actually anywhere left of center, with the amount of influence that he has, he would have been shot by the CIA by now.

    Even the first tweet is logically flawed. One of the extremes could be far out from what the general population agrees with. And even what the general population agrees with is not necessarily the smartest thing in the world, so might still not earn them much trust.

      What you’re saying is correct, and coincidentally why the US is such a messed up nation.

      Let me follow the Elon trend with an illustration:

      Extreme Left ______________________ Normal People w. Leftist Beliefs ______ Center ______ Normal People w. Right Wing Beliefs ______________________ Extreme Right

      So when you have (only) two democratic parties in the system, you might expect it to be

      Extreme Left ______________________ Left Party ______ Center ______ Right Party ______________________ Extreme Right

      But the reality is the Left Party can get way more votes by being closer to the Right Party. It’s not like Leftists are going to vote anything but Left, right?

      Extreme Left ______________________ Normal People w. Leftist Beliefs ______ Center _____ Left Party _ Right Party ______________________ Extreme Right

      And then you find yourself bombing a bunch of countries most American’s can’t point on a map.

    Shame this toddler “bought” twitter, hopefully it doesn’t go to more hell then it is.
