Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urged Fox News viewers to buy Tesla stock, calling CEO Elon Musk "probably the best person to bet on" he had ever met.
Elon is really unpopular right now and “regular” republicans feel like he and DOGE are attacking them.
Only those who have been personally harmed. The rest of them, and that’s the vast majority, actually believe Elon is cleaning up the government and finding/eliminating corruption. I work with one, he’s convinced everything DOGE has found and cut is corruption/fraud, the kids who are rooting through the Treasury are geniuses capable of finding things that no other administration has been able to (or been willing to?) find, and ultimately the Government is going to run more efficiently and taxes can be lower for regular people when it’s all said and done. They’re too deep in the rabbit hole to see the light.
Honestly, even if they’ve been personally harmed… They just move the goalposts. “He’s kidding! Oh he isn’t kidding? Well, it won’t hurt/affect me! Oh it did? Well it won’t be for long. Oh it’s permanent? We’ll this is necessary for it to get better. It didn’t get better? Democrat lies, I feel fine. I no longer feel fine? It’s the democrats fault!”
Truest thing trump ever said was that he could shoot someone on fifth Avenue and not lose any votes. This guy could march into their home, murder their family and burn down the house right in front of their eyes and they’d still be saying “if only the Fuhrer knew”.
