“I’m saddened to look at Elon Musk go fully “off the rails,” primarily changing into a TRAIN WRECK over the previous 5 weeks.
He even desires to start out a Third Political Celebration, even if they’ve by no means succeeded in america – The System appears not designed for them.
The one factor Third Events are good for is the creation of Full and Complete DISRUPTION & CHAOS, and we’ve got sufficient of that with the Radical Left Democrats, who’ve misplaced their confidence and their minds! Republicans, however, are a easy working “machine,” that simply handed the most important Invoice of its type within the Historical past of our Nation.
It’s a Nice Invoice however, sadly for Elon, it eliminates the ridiculous Electrical Car (EV) Mandate, which might have compelled everybody to purchase an Electrical Automotive in a brief time frame. I’ve been strongly against that from the very starting.
Individuals at the moment are allowed to purchase no matter they need – Gasoline Powered, Hybrids (that are doing very effectively), or New Applied sciences as they arrive about – No extra EV Mandate.
I’ve campaigned on this for 2 years and, fairly actually, when Elon gave me his whole and unquestioned Endorsement, I requested him whether or not or not he knew that I used to be going to terminate the EV Mandate – It was in each speech I made, and in each dialog I had. He stated he had no issues with that – I used to be very shocked!
Moreover, Elon requested that one in all his shut buddies run NASA and, whereas I assumed his buddy was superb, I used to be shocked to be taught that he was a blue blooded Democrat, who had by no means contributed to a Republican earlier than. Elon in all probability was, additionally.
I additionally thought it inappropriate {that a} very shut buddy of Elon, who was within the Area Enterprise, run NASA, when NASA is such an enormous a part of Elon’s company life. My Quantity One cost is to guard the American Public!”
