      What’s he gonna run for, governor somewhere? He’s burned all his bridges and goodwill in California, and Texans absolutely hate big tech firms that Musks represents. And Trump has been a perfect example of why the ultra-wealthy never run for public office; it drags all your skeletons from the closet and into the public eye. Corruption from a businessman is expected, but open corruption in a politician has to be punished to some degree.
