Elon Musk has said he is pulling back from investing in politics, which at first blush seems counterintuitive.
He has said more than once that America and the West are facing an existential risk, and he has already proven that he is immune to the usual financial and social pressures that most mortals would fear greatly. He remains great friends with Donald Trump, and still travels with him and meets with world leaders at his side.
So what has changed?
Only the Republican Party could take a gift-horse and not just look it in the mouth, but defecate in it. @elonmusk is the Gutenberg of our time. We don’t win this last must-win election without him. So of course we have to turn right around and demoralize him after the fact. https://t.co/JJpqTe02f8

Elon hasn’t exactly said, but I think the truth is buried in that…
