Isn't the difference that where Trump is selling the past, Musk is selling the future? And in some ways, their vehicles are delivering. In the end people can look past a lot of things when they think the perpetrator will help their cause.

Everyone is selling a future. We’re gonna build a big beautiful wall, we’re gonna drain the swamp, we’re gonna make America great again. This is selling the future. Even if it’s tinted by the past. A fake past mostly.
