Remember that riddle a father and his son are in a car accident. The father dies at the scene and the son is rushed to the hospital. At the hospital the surgeon looks at the boy and says "I can't operate on this boy, he is my son." How can this be?

Politics has been central to Elon Musk’s identity over much of the past year, but his latest obsession has faded into disenchantment over the personal costs and difficulties in producing results, said two people familiar with his thinking in recent months.
Tired of political attacks, Musk turns back to Mars and autonomous cars
As he retreats from Washington, Elon Musk says he will spend “a lot less” on politics. Close advisers says he is eager to return to prior obsessions.

Why does China get lighter tariffs than Mexico or Canada?
Why is USAID - the agency countering China's global influence - being shut down illegally?
Follow the money. Musk and his SV bros will do anything - even pledging allegiance to socialism - to make $$ in China.
