Elon Musk for President?

Need a made-in-the-U.S.A. reusable space rocket to end NASA’s reliance on Russia to access the International Space Station? Go to Musk. Need to bolster your party’s war on fossil fuels with a stylish made-in-the-U.S.A. electric car? Go to Musk. Need to develop a functional commercial space program? Go to Musk. Need a low-orbit satellite system to bring internet access to isolated and underserved populations? Go to Musk. Need a rapid relaunch option in case Russia or China starts shooting our satellites out of orbit? Go to Musk.

Saddled with hopelessly dishonest and radically liberal social media platforms that shamelessly promote woke propaganda and silences conservative voices? Go to Musk. 

Need to rescue two U.S. astronauts stranded on the International Space Station by Boeing’s faulty, poorly designed, insufficiently tested, sloppy super-sized, and criminally overpriced “Starliner” version of the old Apollo capsule?” Go to Musk. 

Need to develop implants that restores paraplegic patients to an undreamed-of level of independence? Yep, you got it. Go to Musk. 

Elon Musk to the rescue. 

But wait. If Elon Musk is such a hero  —  why is he so maligned, ridiculed, and reviled by mainstream media? 

Why have community organizers and DEI activists extorted major corporations into pulling advertising from Musk’s X social media platform? 

Why do Biden regulatory agencies ranging from the FAA, EPA, NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service), FWS (United States Fish and Wildlife Service), NLRB, SEC, NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), and the EOC seem intent on slowing, blocking, crippling, and even destroying Elon Musk’s most beneficial innovations and endeavors?

Well, he’s obviously a family man, and is dead-set against abortion on demand. While he has been described as more Libertarian than Republican, he certainly holds to many traditional values and conservative views. 

He bought Twitter  —  the social medium platform that banned then-President Donald Trump from social media (Musk calls himself an absolutist when it comes to the freedom of speech). When Musk bought Twitter, and before renaming the platform “X,” he fired many if not most of its legacy ultra-progressive Hate-Trump technicians, editors, and thought police (some have filed lawsuits). 

He is pro-gun ownership, and against open borders, illegal immigration, unsupervised homeless camps, and revolving-door courts that return dangerous felons, rapists, and murderers to the streets. 

He has expressed concern about the risks of unregulated development of artificial intelligence. He sees population decline as a problem and does not seem to be enamored of domestic terrorist organizations such as Black Lives Matter and Antifa. He is not a fan of militant promoters of boys in girls’ bathrooms, males competing against female athletes, or allowing or facilitating the genital mutilation of prepubescent children. 

Any of which stances would explain the hatred directed his way by members of the mainstream media, academia, the entertainment industry, Middle East–funded influencers, and the Biden administration.

Musk has expressed his concerns about President Biden’s lack of mental acuity, and Vice President Kamala Harris’ dubious qualifications to succeed Biden in the White House. 

Musk has severely criticized the Biden administration’s seeming inability or unwillingness to provide former President Trump adequate Secret Service protection and is a full-throated supporter of Trump’s bid to return to the White House.

Despite two assassination attempts against Trump, and in spite of the bizarre circumstances surrounding Biden’s apparent senility and Harris’ complicity in lying to the American public about her boss’s mental capacity (or lack thereof), the two candidates seem to be neck and neck. 

Elon Musk to the rescue? Maybe.

Musk has been a fair arbiter when it comes to Trump, and offered Trump a platform on X. Trump was working on his own independent platform at the time and declined. In the months and years that followed, Musk has been increasingly supportive of the Make America Great Again credo. When Trump is reelected, and Trump should win, Musk will surely be offered a Cabinet position. He’s probably too busy to accept, but he would certainly be invited into the inner circle, and welcomed into the brain trust.

Biden and Harris are no friends of Israel and have restrained, hampered, and restricted Israel’s attempts to protect itself against Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis at every step. Harris and Walz will likely be worse.

Israel needs friends, and it has a friend in Donald J. Trump. And for all the media disinformation about Musk’s so-called “anti-Semitism,” it has a friend in Elon Musk.

But what if, against all reasonable expectations, Kamala Harris actually does win the White House? Bad news for America. And it might be bad news for Elon Musk’s far-flung, highly successful, and, for the most part, highly lucrative business empire  —  all of which is highly vulnerable to likely interference by a Harris–Walz administration.

Even if a Harris–Walz cabal could be limited to four years, a lot of damage can be done in four years. Witness the last four years under Biden–Harris. And this time, there’ll be no Donald Trump on the sidelines offering a future glimmer of hope. 

Harris and Walz are not likely to fix the border (all the hype about Harris building a wall or deporting criminal illegal aliens is electioneering fraud). They are unlikely to even try to stop fentanyl from killing our children, or protect female athletes from unfair male competition, or address the crippling American debt burden. They are unlikely to fund NASA at levels that would allow a return Moon mission (all that “first woman and first person of color on the Moon” is Woke fluff). They are unlikely to put our armed forces back on track as a viable, appropriately funded fighting force. And the way Biden and Harris are failing to support Israel in the face of Iranian aggression — that might become an existential issue. For us.

Elon Musk to the rescue? Maybe. He is projected to be worth over $1 trillion by 2027. That’s certainly enough to build a winning team, and a winning campaign. True, there is Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution that limits eligibility for president to “natural born Citizens.” But that’s what constitutional amendments are for. 

He’ll be 61 years old in 2028  —  younger than Kamala. 

Personally, I’m counting on a Trump–Vance win in November. But all things considered, if Musk has to come to the rescue in 2028?

I’m down with it.
