It's a Good Thing he has no Conflict Of Interest with his Government Oversight Appointment! DRAIN THE SWAMP!

A swamp is a thriving ecosystem.

Republicans wanted to drain the swamp so they could install a cesspool.

I think in normal times Musk would have had pushback, and investigations. And it’s shocking to read, even now.

I suspect in a few years, when comparing all the future things, this will be mostly forgotten; insignificant in the vast sea of misery tied to his name for all history .

If he is lucky, very very lucky, Musk will have a fallout from Trump early on and that will save his name and fortune from the inevitable backlash years from now.

If people hate him now, I faintly shudder to think of how he will be thought of later

Surely this time will be different
