Why Trump’s election in November Is A Must-Win For Musk
Elon Musk, “Menace To Democracy”
Two weeks ago in Southport, England, there was a Taylor Swift-themed dance party for little girls at a community center. A 17-year-old young man named Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, the son of Rwandan immigrants, stabbed three of the girls to death, Bebe King (6 years old), Elsie Stancombe (7), and Alice da Silva Aguiar (9).
This incident led to widespread protests. In part, those protests were driven by outrage against the atrocity. But they were also driven by outrage against mass third world immigration, as the murderer wouldn’t have been in the country absent that. As Sam Ashworth-Hayes pointed out, the British have consistently voted for less immigration (this was the main motivation for Brexit), but their leaders kept giving them more immigration.
One would think that politicians defying the will of the people who elected them might be considered menaces to democracy, but the Western establishment sees it differently. According to one of the establishment’s mouthpieces, Financial Times Associate Editor Edward Luce, Elon Musk is the menace to democracy.
In A Way, The Establishment Is Right
Elon Musk isn’t a menace to “democracy” in the common definition of the term (government by the people), but that’s not what Luce means by “democracy”. What he means is “managed democracy“, which Wikipedia defines as,
And of course, Edward Luce, as a journalist, expects to have a role in the managing.
Calling the United Kingdom a managed democracy might have sounded like a tinfoil hat conspiracy a few weeks ago, but since Southport, the mask has dropped. The British government is now threatening to prosecute even foreigners for sharing facts online about crime and civil unrest in the UK.
Elon Musk Makes It Harder For Them To Manage Democracy
Hence the establishment’s outrage against him. As Ayaan Hirsi Ali wrote, in a reply to Edward Luce, what Elon Musk has done with X is give a voice to the people.
This Isn’t Just About The UK
It’s worth noting here that the FT’s Edward Luce is based in the U.S. and often writes about U.S. politics. The same ideology on immigration, demographics, and managed democracy is held by the American establishment. You can see this in some of the commentary about Kamala Harris’s candidacy for President of the United States.
Flash Forward To Today
The former First Minister of Scotland, Humza Yousaf, echoed Edward Luce’s accusations against Elon Musk.
In response, Elon Musk called Yousaf a racist.
What This Has To Do With Tesla
Elon Musk has been a vocal opponent of certain U.S. establishment policies, such as its tacit embrace of unrestricted illegal migration.
Now that Musk has endorsed Donald Trump, and is speaking out against anti-white racism, Trump’s election has become a must-win for him. If Kamala Harris wins, the establishment will make an example of Elon, by cracking down harder on his companies–and possibly him, personally.
I am long Tesla, via the options trade described in this post,
But investors who are long the stock should consider hedging past the election. Here’s another look at the optimal collar shown in the video embedded in my X post above.
