Elon Musk says Trump win is just the start of his political ambitions

[Cattledog]

America PAC, the pro-Trump political group Musk formed and funded with at least $118 million of his own money, “is going to keep going after this election, and prepare for the midterms and any intermediate elections,” Musk said on a live stream on his social media platform X. In the next round of races for the House, the Senate and even some local offices, he said his super PAC “is going to aim to weigh in heavily.”

Later, as Musk hung out at Mar-a-Lago with other wealthy donors and a Trump victory appeared guaranteed, his posts on X became increasingly triumphant. “The future is gonna be fantastic,” he wrote over a picture of a SpaceX rocket launching on a pillar of flame.

Musk’s presence at Trump’s side Tuesday night marked an inflection point in an unprecedented metamorphosis, as the world’s richest man vowed to turn his erratic but visionary ethos more fully to the nation’s politics. Since endorsing Trump in July, Musk — once known primarily for pushing boundaries in electric vehicles and rockets — has become a prominent force in the conservative political movement set to return to the White House.

1. how long is trump

going to put up with Musk's grandstanding? Musk views trump as a means to his own ends and trump already knows it. This will be interesting to watch. First he will go after Musk's mother and then Musk himself.

2. Remember there was a push to amend the constitution.

When people wanted Arnold Schwarzenegger. What happens when someone also owns a media company and we have people lining up to become cultists?
