1. Never, Musk has more power.

[Mr.Bill]

2. Trump will throw him under the bus

when Musk shows up in the news more than he does.

3. Not until...

The money fountain dries up. He endured all of pootin's abuse because he was financing his grifts, now it leon who has taken over since pooty has a cash problem right now.

to the wrong European/International leader?

5. I think he'd like to, but Musk is the financier.

He financing the transition, so Trump doesn’t have to execute ethics pledges to get transition funds. Musk is the financial hammer Trump holds over Senators a Representatives, threatened with primaries is they don’t toe the line. Trump actually seems to like the space program, and we get there through Musk’s SpaceX. On top of that, Trump has always been cowed by real wealth, and the world has never seen wealth like Musks.

About trump in Leon’s name.

7. Most important part of this: "How do we fight back?" listen to 4 minutes

26:00 to 27:00 minute mark:

Democrats should be right on top of the issue of corporate power, greed, the wealthy use their wealth to undermine
our institutions.
Who of Dem's is out there making this case (Bernie has been making this case for years.)
Election: We are still in the margins of people who have gone back and forth in voting.

30:00 to 33:00 minute mark:

31% of eligible voters voted for Trump" which means only 60% of eligible voters voted.
The party of non-voters are the biggest party.
How do we energize these people?
