    Just saw a pre-election clip of Elon Musk saying, "The future of civilization may depend on this election."

    Now there is a sane, intelligent man. How in the world did he make billions of dollars?

    By being dumb enough to try and land a rocket on chopsticks?

    If you have to ask, then you've answered your own question.

    My guess is that God did for Musk what Woody Allen wanted God to do for Woody Allen (as a "clear sign"). God made a large deposit in Musk's name in a Swiss bank. Why? I guess to help Trump save civilization.

    Leftists are almost always godless atheists. GOD is only a "delusion" in their mind.

    Are you calling me a leftist and atheist?

    No, I am not. I'm middle-of-the-road. Which means that like so many other Americans I'm political roadkill.

    You sound like a liberal... I still reply to posts not caring about Political Party Affiliation.

    Having said that, I fixed/edited my statement.

    We have heard for a decade that the future of our Democracy depends on”this” election… over and over… the future of women’s rights is in the line
    Democracy as we know it will end
    He will put blacks back in chains
    All things we have heard.
    (And some here have repeated)
    Why would Musks claim be any more absurd.
    Don’t get me wrong.. it’s all dumb.
    But dumb resides on both sides of the aisle. Fear mongering is nothing new for repubs nor the Demsz

    The future of democracy and the future of civilization are two different things. I don't recall any Republican or Democrat saying that civilization depended on an election. Until Musk, who I guess is a Republican, or he may just be content to be the power behind the throne (or chairman of the board of billionaires behind the throne).
