There is always an elite. Our best case is get a good elite.

Musk is part of the only good elite faction that has a chance to take power in the coming ‘elections’. Democracy is a fantasy. Even in its ideal form with honest elections, it cannot work in a world with so many uninformed and stupid people. Maybe after a few generations of digital babies when IQs have soared, something like democracy will work. But not today. Ergo, all we have are choices between elite factions. Musk is in the Trump, RFK, Ramaswamy, Patel, Carlson faction. These guys are much better than the cloak-and-dagger Obummer faction. Musk is a member of the elite because he is rich. How he got there only he knows. Clearly, he at least did not piss off the wrong people and probably was aided by the right people, whoever they are. That said, he does seem to be good at running companies and honestly care about USA core civilizational values, laws, and traditions. He is much better than Gates or Zuckerberg. This is the only way to calculate real-world political choices. ABN
