But Musk later changed his mind, reportedly donating $45 million a month of his money to the pro-Trump political action committee American PAC.

`Nuff said. CEOs are often Republican, but to be this outspokenly political is normally a bad thing for CEOs like Musk. Media company heads (and Twitter/X is a media company) are supposed to at least pretend to be neutral.

Or release real-time, geographic info on democrat Tesla drivers to right-wing militia groups to take care of. I don't think he'd just let shit go. Look at the Elon plane account for a digital representation.
