Re: Elon Musk - buying power

I did say he was an awesome grifter, the amount of money he's got SpaceX from private and public over the years is phenomenal - and the amount of fawning he's generated in the past over Boring, that stupid robot, hyperloop, automated driving etc, so as a Muskstan/Muskrat (I'm not sure which term we...

I hard Tulsi actually hit him with medium difficult questions. The reason why the Republicans are mum on him is if they have a special election or the feds arrest him for fraud then the seat will likely go to Democrat and that will bring McCarthy's house advantage down to three.
