The sad irony is Harris winning is the only thing that would give him an opportunity recover his reputation. Torching his talent potential and ability to inspire future generations, all to help the most small-minded narcissist grifter in American history.

Does this also apply to Beyoncé, Taylor Swift or Robert De Niro? Did they "ruin their reputation" and "torch their talent" for endorsing a candidate half the country dislikes? I always thought that Trump had an authoritarian mindset, but it looks like this authoritarianism is much more widespread on the left.

You listed singers and an actor who collectively have less than 1% of Elon's wealth and power. None of them control a social network, satellite system, or get on the phone with Vladimir Putin for casual chats. If you think there is more support for authoritarianism on the left, you're living in an alternate universe.

"If you oppose our candidate you're destroying your reputation" is an authoritarian mindset, and unfortunately it's widely shared on the Left lately. If you claim it's more prevalent on the Right, I'd love to see examples. Also not sure how wealth or power relate to "ruined reputation" or "torched talent." Is Bill Gates or Mark Cuban better examples?

He started ruining his reputation long before he endorsed Trump. This is way beyond politics. It's about moral integrity. Some republicans still have it. The MAGA cult does not. https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-elon-musk-technology-misinformation-nancy-pelosi-42c1a39e8df739065abd70c400240d84 https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/04/elon-musk-twitter-still-banning-journalists

I don't like how Musk runs X - part of the reason why I'm here. But I don't think it's much diff from how the rest of big tech is run. Except X skews right while pretty much everyone else skews left. I also don't think a tweet Musk apologized for somehow outweighs his massive contribution to society w Tesla, SpaceX, Neurolnik, etc. That's ridiculous.
