He got a new role created for him, and then given carte Blanche to dispose of whichever government departments he wanted, given access to god knows how much government data he’s probably siphoned off to train his retarded AI with, and treated with kid gloves the numerous times he fucked up. It wasnt just a title to make him seem important, he wielded actual power, and used it to significant effect (even if he utterly failed at reducing the deficit).
Anything related to cutting worthless nonsense is fine. That's the role he was given and when he stayed in that lane nobody had a problem with it, nothing he cut was particularly important.
but he was undeniably welcomed into the fold. To claim the right never welcomed him is just false.
Nigger i literally said:
I don't think the left understands that the right welcomed elon into the party,
they never made him the leader or even a ranking member
Can you read?
but you can’t just jettison the existence of the significant portion that supported him simply because you now think he’s a retard.
My point is the vast majority of his support was contingent on trump putting in a good word for him. Maybe he brought in a few grifting Gen X science worshippers but it's nowhere near as significant as the sway trump has.
It’s exactly this sort of “no true Scotsman” shit that fucked the left, as they purity spiralled into who did and didn’t interact or support X bad person of the week, and while the Right has always had its own foibles, it’s increasingly headed down the same retarded track as of late. It’s like the people claiming MAGA never supported Elon, because anyone who supported Elon wasn’t really a part of MAGA.
It's fundamentally different.
Elon hopped on a train that had already been in full swing for 10 years and had been gaining momentum. He put some more coal into the engine but he was not the sole cause. And as i explained above, MAGA had backtalked elon on 3 separate occasions, most notably when he simped for indian h1bs. It's not a no true scottsman fallacy it's gatekeeping, it's a "let's be clear about what we really want here and police our own". It wasn't the purity spiral that fucked the left, it was a dilution of their primary aims.
Now the right does
not have to simp for h1b fags or elon fags, because they made their priorities clear: American populism and America first out prioritizes the soulless economic efficiency. If science nerd wants to do things that help Americans great, if he wants to do things that fuck us he's out.
What the left did was decide they needed to worship muslims, gays, feminist, trannies, women, blacks, browns, immigrants, criminals, climate alarmists... all groups that have vastly different ideas about the future. It was impossible to please them all and that's what fucked them.
Anyways the point i was making is that there are people trying to claim that elon has similar sway to trump for the new right and i'm simply pointing out that that's not even remotely close to true.
