Philip Low finally clears up Elon for me. [View all]

Mr. Low has known Elon for a long time, and has cleared up what it is that Elon really wants, and why he thinks throwing Nazi salutes will get him there. What he wants, apparently, is power — specifically, to have more power than Trump. He's competing with him while pretending to support him. And he was thinking that the way to come out on top was to do to Trump what Trump did to the other Republicans: steal the right-wing base by out-Naziing the competition. But he may have found that even for the GOP base there is such a thing as too much Nazi, and Trump was the one who correctly judged just the right amount.
