When Hitler (who Trump is totally not like) decided relativity was Jewish science and not German science he expelled a whole bunch of Jewish scientists who later went to work on the Manhattan project. It cost him the atom bomb and possibly the war.
Political considerations shouldn't be an influence over which science you believe. Especially when those politics are strongly influenced by religion.

When you have religion, you can't have science. Belief and "laws" of a tribe's mythology will dictate how stolen ideas or discoveries are abused, versus science providing guidance to what is best.
Tribal narcissists always undermine progress and truth, on any side.
Hopefully whatever the election outcome, the impending dramatic conclusion and fallout is quick. But that is the least likely thing to happen. The entitled fools just like msk ensure counter-productive noise for a long long time. It's a shame meritocracy is impossible with clown decision makers.

Well darn it... I was looking forward to finding out what Musk had done that he thought would land him in prison... guess he's gotten away with it now... Disruption for the win!

He has to last until January 20th. You could always see Biden push the button that has him launched out of the country.

To be honest I'm fully expecting Trump to cut ties with Elon the second he's in office, especially if (non)Truth (anti)Social ends up getting an influx of users in the next couple months. Certainly he wouldn't want to be seen supporting a rival media platform that might allow people to express dissenting opinions FAKE NEWS, and Trump is no stranger to taking people who have outlived their usefulness to him and chucking them under the first bus that rolls past.

That would honestly be one of the funniest things to come out of this whole cluster. It would be even funnier if Trump deported Apartheid Kylde back to South Africa for being an illegal immigrant.

Added funny points when we remember they already had a falling out once.
Musk was involved in Trump’s first administration to a small degree and he left. Trump would later emasculate him saying if he told Elon to bend the knee, he’d do it willingly.
If they have a falling out again, goodness gracious, people will die from laughter.

I'm fully expecting that sometime in the next four years the Saudis will be wanting back all that money they loaned Elon to drive Xwitter into the ground, and if Trump decides to bury him in the corporate sense that'll likely be sooner rather than later. I'm sure they'd love to repo the site just for the purpose of personally putting a scimitar through it's neck.

Add RFK JR to the jettison list, who I bet even Trump thinks is completely nuts and dangerous.

The corruption of America is very costly, at $100,000,000+ it's outside my budget
Elon Musk is Already Asking Trump for Payback After Supporting His Campaign
The billionaire CEO reportedly began lobbying Trump to hire SpaceX employees for top Defense Department roles to help with government contracts and derail regulators before Nov. 5.

Then why are socialist countries also fascist? China, Cuba, North Korea, Eritrea, Laos, Vietnam, and the former Soviet Union are all socialist states that are/were run by fascist, authoritarian governments.
Fascism arises from people wanting power and nationalism. Economically, it practices something called autarky.

Capitalism ensures fascism.
No need for the whataboutism.

Socialism and communism ensure fascism, too. Whenever you allow a ruling party to dictate the economy, there's a chance they bend it a certain way since it's a powerful tool.
My point is maybe fascism is less tied to an economic system than you are suggesting. Capitalism doesn't always breed fascism, just like socialism doesn't always breed fascism either. There are other causes that allow a fascist leader to rise.

This is profoundly stupid.
Reason is lost on the unreasonable, hence the poopy. But bless your heart.
Edit:
I mean that really was a foregone conclusion.
It's wild to me the way connies and commies both seemingly vie to be the most pathetic rather than not as pathetic as the other.

Simply not true, if anything the most common (but not only one) tends to be economic hardship that drives those with an authoritarian bent to appeal to nationalism via othering target groups.
Germany was a Republic, while Italy and Spain were both monarchies before becoming fascist states.
