This Tech CEO Supported Harris. Here’s Why He Wants You to Back Elon Musk.
PoliticoThe following conversation has been edited for length and clarity. I think there’s a lot of things that can be accomplished in the next four years with his agenda, and I certainly think Elon is going to be a very productive part of all that. I’m a voice of one, but even talking to Democrat-leaning friends in and outside the Valley and beyond, the view is that there’s not enough emphasis, in terms of policy and execution, on reasonable, pragmatic things that I think most people would want from their government. But I don’t think there’s a better person for this particular task than Elon, because of how resistant the government normally would be to this type of change. My guess is Elon sort of views this as, ‘I’m going to just do it one way or another, and I’ll come along with anybody that wants to support it.’ And so certainly my message to Democrats would be that absolutely we should support anybody who is willing to make America be the leader in all of these industries, whether it’s space manufacturing, energy, AI, biotechnology.
