This occurred to me the other day and I feel like it’s so crazy that it maybe could happen. Is it too late for him to run in the upcoming election?

Right-wingers do. Buying Twitter exposed him as a terrible business man who could only be considered a genius by Trump standards. Luckily for him, many Twitter users do think Trump is a business-savvy genius!! He has an even bigger following now because he isn't pandering to tech nerds who are genuinely interested in what he's doing with his tech companies. Now he's targeting the alt-right with conspiracy theories, Hunter Biden's ~~dick pics~~ laptop, and "free speech" (for only $11/month!).

“free speech” (for only $11/month!).

Assuming he doesn't disagree with anything you say, of course. Or your flight data doesn't hurt his little fee-fees.

It's hilarious how much of a clown that guy turned into after seeming vaguely accomplished and sane for five whole minutes.

I hadn't paid too much attention to him other than vaguely wanting to see good things come out of spacex.

But starting at about this moment I began having my doubts that this man was or could be a real-world Tony Stark. If he is, he's pre-Ironman Stark.
