I don't know if we will see anything from Musk until after the Democratic nominee is actually settled and done. I do hope he continues his support of free speech with a full throated endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the near future.
I don't know who they're polling, but the folks I know who support Kennedy are both old and left! The sane left, the left that cared about people, community, peace with justice, free speech, adherence to the Constitution, and bodily sovereignty -- including for women. The two major parties are sowers of dissention; both are beholden to Big Pharma and Industrial Ag, as well. Kennedy has worked to bridge differences, and he listens to people: listening to mothers is what got him labeled "anti-vax" in an era where truth and integrity matter little when labels, and ad hominem attacks, make far better soundbites. Real life is not soundbites.
Very well said, Diana. Set soundbytes aside. Look at the records of the three serious candidates and ask yourself: who is most committed to free speech? Who is most committed to the environment, mothers, and children? Who is most committed to peace?
This is brilliantly and elegantly written, balanced and intelligent. The release of Assange was one triumph for free speech; the election of Kennedy would be another. Solidarity truly is the answer when it comes to change; it might be not solely the best, but also the only answer. Well done, M. C. Armstrong.
Musk has risked it all for this country - this is the obvious next step

Certainly grateful that Musk has protected X.
Agree.

I think you are so correct, Diana!

Thank you, Andria!
Just hours after we published this report, BLOOMBERG broke news that Elon Musk has committed a large sum of money to a Trump-supporting Super Pac:

Most executives donate to both parties, just as Trump used to do.
Very good point
