Really?
Not only did he say he didn't vote, he didn't bring up Trump at all until after he already won the election.

Maybe Musk will have to change his cars to using ICE and rename the company to Otto.

Kind of a smart/good move remembering the Bush/Kanye Katrina spat.

The self-interest factor is suspicious.
Uber: please save us from annoying city and state regulations that are expensive and annoying to deal with and slow down our plans.
Elon: please don't attack any incentives we rely on to keep all our financial plates spinning. Oh and yeah what Uber said, we like marketing our product as an auto-pilot.

It's probably one of the many reasons Hillary Clinton lost NY to Trump.

Musk is worth more than Trump. He has no choice but to bow down.
People give him shit, but Trump has done more than anyone to not hold grudges on people that have trashed him. He operates with a business mindset which is a good thing.

No, but if he voted for Hillary and posted about it on Twitter, and generally cheerleaded her and warned against Trump, maybe Hillary would have had just a slightly better turnout among millenials and Afro-Americans in the states that did matter
Is that why he still can't stop talking about Rosie O'Donnell

I think Trump has no intent to actually do anything about whatever they would recommend, he just wants to be able to have people come over and pay tribute to him while pretending he's listening.
Plus, he's probably doing this to get back at them later, he's just covering his intentions.
If she came out tomorrow and said it turns out she thinks he's "terrific" and will do "tremendous things" for the country, he'd probably add her to his list of advisors.

It's like nobody understands that Trump will just do what Trump will do. Yeah he'll meet with you, but he'll shit on you the second you leave.
Does nobody understand this? Do people not see who he's surrounded himself with? There are no moderates around him. No reasonable people. How many times will people fall for this?

Because there is no reason to believe that Kanye did this because he is selfless and want to help people of color; his words does not match any of his actions. I am tired of seeing this trail of logic that Black individuals that speak up are always 100% aligned with the interest of the Black community.
You know who critiqued Kanye's meeting with Trump? John Legend.
Some things that people don't know about John Legend.
He graduated from University of Pennsylvania. He worked as a consultant for McKinsey. He helped start a very successful fellowship that assist students and people in corporate America of color to be equipped with competitive skill sets and have access to top employers and graduate schools. He is very passionate about improving the lives of people of color and uses his impressive background to help push his efforts.
He called Kanye meeting a photoshoot. Kanye using the moment for Kanye. Trump using the moment for Trump.
Please tell me what Kanye does besides ranting on stage and saying he wants everyone to buy his $200+ shoes

Time to buy more TSLA I think.
This. At least we can hope Elon's drive to help humankind is enough to make a small difference in the end.

Trump could easily cut that space money to Musk, I mean the main reason hes getting it is to weaken Russia

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Maybe Musk can convince him that alternative energy is good business?
But then the GOP are coal roller* types so I'm not holding my breath.
*If you don't know what that means then please don't look it up.

Elon could actually worm his way into Trump's ear if he successfully speaks Trump's language (profits, ego, etc). Nothing wrong with this.

Pretty much just himself and his business associates and friends. Yeah.

The corporate-ruled cyberpunk dystopia we deserve.
Both points are the future, like it or not.
The much more palatable response is how do we care for society amidst these displacement efforts. Being averse to the displacement is a non-starter, akin to climate change.
If the plan is to get rid of people and ultimately whole industries, this needs to be talked about in a jobs cult, because that will produce suffering.

Not yet. I'm hoping for a Constitutional amendment.
We need Conan the President. The Presidentor. You know, before he was President, he was The Running Man. And then he tried to be a Kindergarten Cop for the Congress. After that they tried to do a Total Recall. But he really was The Last Action Hero to be President, despite all the political Collateral Damage. After The 6th Day of his impeachment, he had The Last Stand before the Congress and he was vindicated in the end. He would leave the White House after 2 terms with the highest popularity ratings of any President in history.
The Arnold Schwarzeneggar Presidential Library in San Angeles contains extensive materials regarding his Presidency.

Good. We need a plant that can counter the inevitable stupidity his people bring.
This is hilarious. If the sheer naïveté doesn't get you, maybe how utterly wrong it is will.
