    This prick has become on of the most dangerous people in the country. He’s eager to agree with any senseless right wing conspiracy theory and boosts them on his platform, responding with very thought-free one word replies like “yup”, “exactly”, “concerning” or “!!”. It doesn’t seem like he has the mental power or any desire to assess whether some claims are true, such as his assertion to Don Lemon that undocumented people being counted on the census unfairly boosted the representation numbers for California - totally ignoring that the same would be true for Texas and Florida, as if no immigrants live in “red” states. Same with the “Democrats are mass-importing voters!!”. I don’t think he even cares if this tripe is true, as long as he gets to slam Democrats and rile up conservatives. The panic he’s trying to inspire with the “illegals voting!!” BS is predicated on the assumption that immigrants would all vote for democrats, which isn’t even true.

      Republicans are nicer to billionaires

      That’s it, he has the money to go anywhere he wants if the country isn’t worth being in

          For the most part it has clean water, proper sewage, stable electricity, and is relatively disease free

          That puts it above a fair number of options

            Most other countries are pushing to improve things though. The states currently seems (from an outsider perspective) actively regressive, currently.

            Also the fact you say “for the most part”, speaks volumes.

      Also trips over himself every opportunity trying to advocate “peace deals” with Putin despite the absolute certainty that Russia would continue to attack Ukraine in the future just like they did after Crimea.

      He’s gotten so used to substituting confidence for actual knowledge/insight that he has had to seek refuge amongst gullible right-wing idiots and a moat of blue checkmarks in order to present the image of an audience that takes him seriously and doesn’t constantly dunk on all the stupid shit he says.

      He’s essentially Joe Rogan but richer. Rogan will have every liar and peddler of misinformation on his platform, let’s them spew lies while he goes “makes sense” or “I never thought of it that way” and legitimizes the bullshit. Musk and Rogan are cut from the same cloth
