"I am very surprised Elon Musk will vote Republican" You can take the boy out of apartheid, but you can't take apartheid out of the boy. Also, I think having his girl friend leave him for Chelsea Manning, plus too much ecstasy and ketamine, sparked his war against the woke virus.

Michael Bloomberg was no different. He started out as a Republican running for Mayor then switched to Democrat by his third term. Bloomberg had a very interesting platform. He was quite the conservative, fiscally speaking and he managed NYCs budget to perfection. His famous line to residents was, " I'd love to provide all the services you want, but we just don't have the money to do so." Michael Bloomberg was a great budget manager. Socially speaking, he was a liberal. And interestingly enough, he wanted to take all the guns off the streets of NYC and throughout the whole country. The Republican Party did not like him for that. I never voted for Bloomberg, but he was a very pragmatic Northeastern Republican who was not caught up in ideology whatsoever. He disliked Donald Trump immensely and used vast resources of his money to campaign against him. I know a little bit about Michael since I tutored his daughters and had extensive dealings with his divorced wife.
