The combination of Trump and Musk appeared on the stage of the US presidential election. Regardless of whether they were successful or not, they would affect American society in the long run, especially the political ecology.Because this is the change of the rich man to manipulate the political model -the first time that the gold owner behind the scenes jumped directly to the front desk to participate in the election competition.This may be the most open and direct combination of money and politics. It is a challenge to the hypocrisy and conspiracy of politics. Regardless of the result, it is worth remembering.
There is a question in front of Americans and other people who care about the United States and the world: Are you willing to win the world in Trump and Musk?They may be the two most powerful and richest people in the world in recent years, one is the former president of the United States and the other is the richest man in the world; they may also be the two most creative and disruptive people, whether in the political field, whether in the political fieldStill in the economic field.These two people are now intending to cooperate to win the United States. Maybe they may win this superpower, and they are not far from winning the world.
One month before the National Presidential Election National Voting Day this year, Musk publicly appeared on October 5th on Trump's campaign rally in the Pentle area of Pennsylvania, USA.The Hat of the Trump "Maga" (Make the United States again) said the slogan to vote for Trump.This is the biggest swing state with 19 electoral votes, and it is also the place where Trump encountered attempted assassinations in July this year; Musk also set a record for the first time that the US billionaire has publicly supported a certain presidential candidate, marking the two of them.The combination has been completely formed.
Musk's investment for Trump is serious.Although he announced publicly in July this year, one of the reasons he bought Twitter (now renamed "X") two years ago was that it banned Trump's account, which violated Musk very much valuedThe right of freedom of citizens is also one of the reasons why the Musk determined that the Democratic Party government was behind the scenes and fell to the Republican Party.
After the new election cycle starts, Musk specializes in the US Political Action Commission.Political and Financial tracking and non -profit organization Open Secrets reported that before October this year, the committee had spent more than $ 77 million (about S $ 10 million), of which about 41 million US dollars were used to support the Republican Party, and at least 35 million were at least 35 millionThe US dollar is committed to opposing the Democratic Party.On October 7th, Musk also issued a "petition" on social accounts, which is the content of supporting the first and second amendments to the US Constitution, that is, the content of the freedom of anger and freedom of speech. This is actually Trump different fromThe Democratic Party's main campaign claim; Musk also publicly promised that every time a swing state voter is recommended to sign, he can get a reward of $ 47. The goal is 1 million, and there is no upper limit for the specific figures.
cleverly bypass legal restrictions
This approach cleverly bypass US law restrictions, because the US federal law stipulates that buying and selling votes is a criminal act, but it is not illegal to pay for the person who signed or recommend the signing of petitions.But Musk's investment of tens of millions of dollars for this is almost a kind of bribery election. If Trump can increase 1 million votes, he can almost determine the swing state and win the president's throne smoothly.
Trump's changes to Musk are also serious.Trump's conservative position is very distinctive. During his last time he was the president and many times before and after the presidential president, he repeatedly stated that of course, there are very friendly policies for the rich, such as tax reduction and trade protection;The suspicion and accusations of technology companies, such as accusing their speech control and exaggerated words on environmental impacts.
Musk's main source of income is New Energy Vehicle Tesla. He needs the government to increase environmental protection and support the use of new energy technology.Previously, Trump was dismissive of this, but since he got closer and closer to Musk, he began to change his caliber to affirm the importance of new energy and new technologies, and promised to give more attention to environmental protection after being elected.At the same time, Trump also takes into account the influence of some super technology companies in Silicon Valley, and also reduces antitrust doors during the campaign. Instead, he emphasizes the crackdown of the bureaucracy of government departments.It is said that there is a possibility that the latter leads this committee.
The combination of Trump and Musk appeared on the stage of the US presidential election. Regardless of whether they were successful or not, they would affect American society in the long run, especially the political ecology.Because this is the change of the rich man to manipulate the political model -the first time that the gold owner behind the scenes jumped directly to the front desk to participate in the election competition.This may be the most open and direct combination of money and politics. It is a challenge to the hypocrisy and conspiracy of politics. Regardless of the result, it is worth remembering.
The combination of this time can also clarify the weight of personal factors in US politics. Trump and Musk have distinctive individualism.Trump maintains the image of his amateur politicians, and resolutely does not follow the usual path. It is necessary to drive away from traditional politicians and launch his own characteristic campaign path.For the huge confidence in his financial and image, Musk's election process of Trump, although he could not represent the concepts of most rich people, but it was not a way that many rich people were eager to try.
Of course, this combination can also test money, media and other means, to how much it can affect US politics.Although the effect has been proven many times, Musk's personal end may play a role in counter -evidence, that is, whether it can prove that money may not work or not effective enough.
Musk laughed in a media interview on October 7 that if Trump lost, he would be over.Because he was worried that the Democratic Party's political persecution would make him jail, it can be seen that his dedication and willingness to bear it.
Trump can have the support of the world's richest man, and the election should have been improved without being rejected. Although it seems that this improvement has not reached the point where he has stabilized the voucher, but in fact, it should be that he can get what he can getThe best result.
When Trump and Musk are combined with Musk, or the strongest combination in the world, regardless of whether they agree or not, their joint campaign is a rare historical experience in the world today.If they win the highest administrative power in the United States, they may also be able to win the surrender and awe of the world; but it is a symbol of high concentration of political and economic power, which may make democracy more out of reach.If they cannot succeed, they may just prove that the rationality of American voters and the victory of valuables from power; but the impact and change of the existing political and economic models may be remembered by the people of the United States and the world.
