Musk caused a lot of problems mainly while he was being self serving. He fired a lot of FAA leadership and mass laid off air traffic controllers. He wanted to steal a contract from Verizon for SpaceX. Aircraft incidents increased almost immediately. DOGE also led cuts at NOAA which NWS relies on. There was a surprise tornado in the midwest a couple of months ago and flash flood in Texas. These events claimed lives. I blame Musk. Musk is at least partially responsible for Trump gaining power whether he hacked vote tabulations or not.

There could not be a worse bad actor to be involved in our politics. I like the idea of a centrist party but want Musk to not be involved at all.

Musk and Centrist Party cannot be used in the same sentence. Dude is a nazi.

Well when the Republicans are far-right and the Democrats are right, a centrist party would be halfway in between them, so it does seem to be accurate.

Nah, he's just as far-right as the rest of the Nazis. He just disagrees on some points.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago

I don't disagree with that at all
