The United States is about to kick off, but Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, announced on social media that he will no longer support the incumbent Biden. This statement has sparked attention and speculation from all sides, will Musk's influence and appeal deal a fatal blow to Biden's election? Why did Musk "draw a line" with Biden? Who is Musk courting again?
Musk is a well-known entrepreneur and innovator in the United States, he founded Tesla, SpaceX, Neural Connect and other leading technology companies, his wealth and prestige are high in the world, he has many fans and followers, and his words and actions can often cause widespread discussion and repercussions among the public. Musk tweeted on January 22, "I can't imagine myself voting for Biden again this time." This sentence immediately caused a sensation on the Internet, some ** believed that Musk was bringing a heavy blow to Biden, and some ** believed that Musk was giving Trump a big gift.
Biden's election situation is not optimistic, he has no strong competitors in the party, but his support rate among the people is not high, he is facing multiple crises such as being investigated, his son being prosecuted, and policy failure, and his road to re-election is full of ups and downs and obstacles. In this case, Musk's "no vote" statement will undoubtedly make Biden's election worse, which may cause Biden to lose millions of votes and even affect the election results in some key swing states. Musk's "no vote" statement may also affect the voting tendencies of some other wealthy people, entrepreneurs, technology people, young people and other groups, making them lose confidence and support for Biden.
So, why did Musk "not vote" for Biden? On the one hand, it may be because Biden has hurt Musk, and Musk wants to take revenge. In November last year, Musk was accused of being an "anti-Semite" by some Jewish entrepreneurs and ** because he supported the Palestinians' demand for justice, and Biden ** not only did not speak for Musk, but instead joined the ranks of criticism and condemnation, accusing Musk of spreading "terrible anti-Semitic lies" and "violating the core values of the United States". Musk is very dissatisfied and angry about this, and he believes that Biden is betraying his votes and support, and is betraying his interests and trust.
On the other hand, it may be because Musk is courting the future United States, that is, Trump. Trump is Biden's biggest rival, his approval rating in the United States is also very high, he has a strong party and civil base, and he has the possibility of "entering the palace twice". Trump and Musk also share common interests and views in some aspects, such as they both oppose excessive interference and regulation, they both support the development of American technology and innovation, and they both have friendly attitudes towards Jews and Israel. Musk's "not vote" for Biden is equivalent to hinting that he will "vote" for Trump, which can make Trump grateful and appreciate him, and also allow him to get more support and cooperation in Trump's **.
Musk is a businessman and a dreamer, he has a lot of ideals and ambitions, he wants to change the world, and he also wants to make money. However, he also knows that in order to realize his dreams, he needs the protection of power, the support of money, and the cooperation of politics. Biden has already disappointed Musk, and Musk needs to change it, one that can bring him benefits and help. Musk's "not vote" for Biden is preparing for his future and planning for his dreams.
Musk's "no vote" statement is a heavy blow to Biden and an unresponsive challenge, because elections are the freedom of voters, and no one can force anyone to vote. Biden can only reluctantly accept Musk's decision, and can only powerlessly watch Musk's influence and appeal, bringing waves to his election.
