Iowa Democrat who still somehow believes in a better world. Mom to 1st grader, wife of Daniel, political/nonprofit fundraiser, person to Bep the Pomeranian, Jingles & Jangles, the very naughty rescue cats.
I keep hearing that Elon Musk is dragging the Republicans down.
BUT-
Is it Elon Musk voters hate,or is it actually the despicable actions he is taking for the Trump Administration that people despise?

The Republican Party is destroying our country on purpose. Elon is just a figurehead.

The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy.

What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.
