but the truth of the matter (as I see it anyway) - is that Musk, as both personality and public figure - simply has no base, no backing, no real support or clout. (that in any way compares to Trump - or that, quite frankly, matters very much)

Further - the man has actually squandered and diminished the lion's share of any sort of 'cred' that he might have once enjoyed - among a very small demographic of tech fan boy bros. The man is adrift - without standing - and simply doesn't matter anymore. ( irrelevant - excepting the admitted caveat of his enormous wealth )
