Don’t go for it, White Male Base. Don’t buy it. Whatever it was that happened last night in the Musk/Trump interview, treat it as the softball-lobbing stunt that it was. Blatant damage control, an attempt at salvaging a reputation and a campaign that are way beyond salvageable.
The antique leopard is unable to change his spots. Trump is and will be what he has always been.
And who the hell does Elon Musk think he is, anyway? Why, just another massive ego wielding his “power.” Scary, but full of himself. Dumb and dissonant, with the usual patina of genius.
