just checked <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Hughes" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Hughes</a> , and although Hughes' profile of rich, famous, technically inclined, and clearly eccentric, is an easy comparison, in contrast the only mention that article makes of any mass-market political dabbling on Hughes' part was an insistence on political correctness at post-acquisition RKO.
Would be cool if the article would explain Musk's reasoning for the support. 'Us rich guys gotta stick together.' isn't much of an analysis. Trump is anti union? As I understand it, Trump is not anti-union. He worked effectively with unions in New York for decades. But he seems to be anti union leadership.<p>So what was Musk thinking?
