Why is Musk giving $45 million a week to Republican PACs?

There are two schools of thought:

(1) Musk is a machiavellian operator and with his money, the PACs will increase the scope of their message, a few of the PACs that have been identified are proponents of the 2025 project (aka.  Extreme right-wing policies, shut down the justice department, abolish federal taxes etc etc).   This will show Americans the extreme corruption of the American republican party.   

(2) Musk has a more pressing objective.   It is well known that almost all of his focus now is on SpaceX, and not on Tesla.   A large part of the GOP's platform is anti-Tesla, but if like with Twitter he no longer cares it means he is ready to sacrifice Tesla for a more important goal.   

In his tactical mind, Tesla will survive for at least a decade which is the time he needs to make his Mars mission a reality.   It is well known that Elon Musk has discarded projects in the past when he saw they were not going anywhere really useful.  Paypal is only one of thousands of payment systems now.   It is more than likely that Musk has decided, even if it is subconsciously, that sacrificing 300 million Americans to a dictatorship was an efficient way of achieving his goal, then his support for the GOP makes sense.  

Musk is concerned with the future of humanity, and not humans.  He has decided that our future is better assumed if we have two or three planets available.   For example, the recent discovery of massive caverns on the Moon is important. to building a moon colony

For someone like Elon Musk who had the ability and resources to change the world, the destruction of a single society is not even a consideration.  

Honestly, there is no way that Elon Musk doesn't see what Donald Trump and his friends are, but he may have concluded that transactionally the GOP will be better for SpaceX than the Democrats -- let's not forget that in 2022 the White House had a meeting of the "leaders of the electric car industry in America" and Tesla that accounted for nearly 80% of all electrical vehicles sold in the US, was purposefully excluded and that Ford that produced less than 1,000 electric vehicles was hailed as the hero.   For a person like Musk, it is a realization that the Democrats are even worse than the Republicans...

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will ...

Farm; Half year performance

 People appear to be genuinely curious. 2024 has been a record first half for the farm.  The addition of high tunnels has greatly impacted our revenues.   While we expected Q1 profits to be higher, it really was the second quarter that produced the goods.  The terrible weather has greatly impacted the production of high-end vegetables. Energy costs are now very stable and have become a fixed variable especially now that our bio digesters are fully dialled in.   Replacing some of our pre-dryer equipment was covered under warranty, and the new equipment is far better at dealing with gas moisture, and much better steel!   Our diesel costs are what they are! Our biologist and ecologist devised a new planting plan for our high tunnels that greatly reduced pests, especially slugs.   We have seen a 90% decline in sluggs this year, resulting in better yields.   It seems that several plants act as natural repelants and if planted c...

Britain, France and Egypt

 The voters realize now that the Conservative Praty desire to return to 19th-century dominance has driven its hatred of the EU.  The voters realize now that departure from the EU has accelerated Britain's decline and may soon make it irrelevant.  At best it will have to kiss American arses to maintain its standing.  For this, the conservatives were punished.  The decline of Britain was inevitable, competition from Frankfurt and Germany in Finance was bound to grow.  The core of Europe (aka Germany) is aging quickly Macron seems to be winning his bet, the left alliance that won the legislative elections will not remain united for long, since they disagree on about everything.   The Far right though it was about to assume power is once again relegated to the back of the bus.   It may draw its own conclusions, but not all of these are good for France.  The far-right has won nearly 1/3rd of the electorate, that is not something to be ig...
