QUESTION: Have you lost respect for Musk?

DD

ANSWER: Unfortunately, yes. Look, both Trump and Musk act on instinct, you might say, but Musk lacks the experience. Trump is a negotiator, and he goes with the flow. He does not see any catastrophic shame in changing his mind quickly. Musk, on the other hand, is more of a visionary-entrepreneur. He has his vision and pursues it relentlessly. That is good for creating companies. However, he lacks the experience of dealing with Washington. Trump understands the government is not a business. Trump also understands that you cannot change the politics of Washington without a revolution. Musk is stirring the waters in which politically powerful resistance sells. He cannot sweep that away even with money. It will take the people to rise up and that will not happen until it impacts them. Musk cannot change the system with polls on X.

Musk’s claim that the Epstein files have not been released because Trump is in them was outrageous. I was really shocked by such a vindictive statement. That was over the top when everyone I know familiar with this case has never implicated Trump, and the Democrats would have loved that since they had the files. I am concerned that Musk may not be ready for prime time.
