You mean the guy that runs SpaceX?...and solar city?

That's right. He does not face the same problems as the other 99% of us, so why would he make a good advocate for us?

You obviously know little about Elon Musk......

 

[doublejj]

Elon is single handedly trying to get us off of big oil.....
and back into space

You obviously know little about Elon Musk.......youth is wasted on the young!

Lol I'm 50. Rather than attempting to impugn my judgment, why don't you try using some actual supporting evidence for your position?

...which supports my argument that his talents would be wasted in politics.

Few others could do what he's doing at all, let alone better. So let him keep doing it!

He has had to battle government all the way.... he's a modern Willy Wonka

Neither did FDR.

Tesla is officially opening the Gigafactory in Nevada this week. It will be the biggest solar covered building in the world & will manufacture 1/2 of all batteries produced on earth. there are no electric or gas lines running to the factory...
Elon draws no salary from Tesla....many nights he sleeps in a conference room at the Fremont factory so he can work on issues thru the night.

A billionaire that made his money off the masses? LOL!!

Neither did FDR.

Perhaps. Mr Musk is no FDR, for better or worse.

Being a billionaire is not a qualification for the presidency.

No, but nor should it disqualify a person.

Certainly I have more respect for Musk's journey than I do for TRUMP!'s.

Same here. One is working for the future of all mankind. The other is out for himself at any expense.

I wish more people appreciated the difference.

Unless you're an elector/member of the electoral college you don't vote for the presidency. It's kind of funny watching you guys bicker over who's getting your all important vote. Only 538 people get to vote for the president.

 

[ovo]

no point in voting. guess what that really means is you choose not to.

 

[Olive Drab Green]

Maybe we can vote FDR's corpse in. He can get away with a fifth term.

Oh it gets better.
