I’ve been saying for some time that the war between Elizabeth Warren and Elon Musk indicates he isn’t his own man (which, of course, goes without saying when it comes to Elizabeth Warren’s onset of insanity when she entered politics).
It may be necessary to go to war with him if something isn’t done along the lines of nuking the social pseudosciences with Hume’s Guillotine application of the ALgorithmic Information Criterion for macrosocial dynamics model selection to link up with his stated commitment to both TFR solution and “maximal truth seeking” for AI safety.
I posted this yesterday when I saw the first signs of Musk going insane w/re the “Big Beautiful Bill” over the national debt issue when, as shown in the spreadsheet I’ve posted many times, the national debt would likely have been solved had the tax policy that would have made him 4 times wealthier been adopted – a policy that those possessing are keeping him from advocating:

The question we all wonder about is whether the Musk/Trump “fall out” is all just theater?
After all, by joining the Administration, Musk knowingly harmed his (and Tesla’s) standing with the kind of empty-headed Leftie who buys an Electric Vehicle. Maybe this was a prior agreement between Trump & Musk to have him do something to rehabilitate his image with an important consumer group. Surely now every Far Leftie will have to go out and buy a second, third, fourth Tesla just to stick it to Trump?
A side benefit of the “fall out” is to put pressure on the worthless Scum in Congress to cut back on their out-of-control spending – something which would be difficult for President Trump to propose without triggering most of the worthless Republicrats to launch impeachment.
Musk’s “third party” Xeet might be such a 4D chess move. I found it quite intriguing that the Xeet of mine that received the most bot interference was something along those lines. The mid-terms are critical enough and the timing is right.
A barometer of how effective this might be is the Metaculus prediction “market” – in particular the question regarding a Trump vs Musk rift:
Bear in mind that Metaculus was established as a kind of gathering place for folks who like to think of themselves as more intelligent than the intelligence agencies: Immune to motivated reasoning and groupthink. Of course, they don’t trade in real money and gain most of their “credibility” from elite university involvement. These are the people to fool.
As long as they are productive economic units, then I’m okay with all of this. Our objective function is, afterall, to maximize productivity and attract the best and brightest from all around the world!
Anyone who thinks they can get away with this – especially after decades of violating the consent of ~80% of US citizens – isn’t in possession of their own faculties. That includes the non-western immigrants who think they’re in control of guys like Musk.
We’re not supposed to ask “cui bono” since questions like that are reserved for Our Intelligence Community Junkie Betters who have a more direct Connection to the World Reserve Currency hence smart phone surveillance “knowledge” of what is really going on.
But all that means is that the “80%” that Musk mistakenly believes he represents, are going to be even more indiscriminate in their killing when, not if, the killing starts.
It may be “just a coincidence” but the first woman president of IEEE-USA (LeEarl A. Bryant) was elected upon the completion of the H-1b coup de grace when the DotCon bubble burst and if you weren’t H-1b you were told to go back where you came from.
It may also be just a coincidence that upon Trump’s election President, a country girl from Iowa became the third woman IEEE-USA President.
In fact, she grew up in my home county.
In fact, she is my first cousin.
I don’t know that has anything to do with me blowing the whistle on probably the largest single misallocation of capital in SV history – supporting massive H-1b fraud – just after the first two guys in the aforelinked list published the IEEE-USA poll linked above.
