Democrats Have a Weapon to Use Against Elon Musk. Why Won’t They Use It?

Politico  

If Musk were an immigrant lefty who threw himself into politics, he wouldn’t be so lucky. “She’s telling us how to run our country,” Trump said of the stridently progressive Somali-born Minnesota lawmaker during his last campaign. And yet in politics sometimes, you have to play by their rules.” “I think it’s valid to say that there’s a certain discomfort among some Democrats with nationalism, but there’s not really with patriotism,” said James Carville, the legendary strategist behind Bill Clinton’s first presidential victory. Musk is an immigrant, an Ivy Leaguer, a fan of obscure political philosophies, a guy whose supply chains and satellite deals extend to America’s shadiest foreign rivals, a tech tycoon eager to move beyond the stolid American dollar, a social media obsessive who regularly says terrible things about American culture, leadership and demography. This week, some Democrats have at least tiptoed up to discussing Musk’s foreign roots thanks to a Washington Post report that Musk had worked illegally while in the U.S. on a student visa.
