more extremists means higher risk of not winning next elections (earlier). More moderates increases the risk of 8 years of Trump.

A lot of terrible things could happen in four years of extremism. Do you really want another war? That's where extremism leads.

on a happier note, how is 39-A coming along? Looking good for static fire?

Almost ready

I'd love to discuss that with you but unfortunately you never answer.

But it would be interesting to know which of his advisers are in your opinion extremists.

Or see it this way: You never listening/answering me, cause I'm not even a Tesla customer. Why should Trump listen/answer to you?

I mean: Do you read what he tweets? How do you think will the meeting go? "Mr. President, I think the travel ban is bad."

"Gosh, Mr. Musk, now you say it, I'm completely aware of my fault and I'll lift the ban."

I mean, you are a very intelligent person, you have to know that it will won't work that way.

You see yourself as a Tony Starkish guy. You literally bought yourself in Iron Man 2 so everybody could see you are inter pares

but this is not a comic, this is reality. And reality is, that this Government is led by fascists. There a lot of ways to

can you say in plain language whether you're concerned Trump will cut off SpaceX govt contracts & EV subsidies if you bow out?

also, if the Muslim ban isn't enough, can you name any specific action Trump could take which would make you cut ties?

1/ Massive respect for you, but can't agree here. Having you advise him is only useful if that advice is heard/heeded.

2/ there has been nothing that suggest that will happen. All evidence is to the contrary. You've read his tweets, as have we.

3/ Under normal circumstances I would very much advocate for participating and trying to make a difference, but this is not normal

4/ if you have any evidence to the contrary, then share it with us. And if not then you might want to reconsider your role here.

5/ props to you for having the discussion tho... lots of others are being silent observers.
