Now, I can't tell whether he supports DeSantis out of sincere conviction or if he's actually trying to sabotage the conservative populist movement from within, but the fact that he didn't practice what he preached concerning the 2022 midterms gives me reason to believe it may actually be the latter.[https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-didn-t-vote-165405229.html]--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 13:46, December 31, 2022 (EST) | | ::::He's repeatedly stated that he wants DeSantis for President in 2024, and I strongly suspect he will use his position as the world's richest man to try to shove DeSantis down our throats.

In terms of Trump accomplishing the overturning of ''Roe v. Wade'' while previous professed pro-life Republicans didn't, I think it's important to note that the connection with presidents themselves is indirect; due to increased tenure on the Court correlating to increased judicial activism, is it necessarily fair to say that Trump is more pro-life simply because his Court picks didn't turn out to be as liberal as Kennedy or O'Connor? It's important to note that the two most conservative justices on the Court, Thomas and Alito, were appointed by the Bush dynasty. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>(Mark 8:36)</sup>]]''''' Saturday, 13:41, December 31, 2022 (EST) | | :::As for Musk, it's possible that he will increasingly shift towards the right on key issues, though I don't think such fruits are, as of now, demonstrated sufficiently to merit the award.
