Elon Musk's opportunistic Trumpism
Donald Trump or Joe Biden? Elon Musk officially refrains from choosing sides. However, the founder of SpaceX, Tesla and PayPal has recently multiplied the signs of collusion with the outgoing president.
In just one tweet, Elon Musk confused America. Maybe the world. As a punctuation, the Silicon Valley star opted for a red rose emoji. Your choice is a symbol of beauty or love, or an emblem of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA, the Democratic Socialists of America). Since 2016, and the lost campaign of progressive candidate Bernie Sanders, the pictogram has become a rallying sign for part of the American left.
On May 17, 2020, at 7.44 p.m. French time, Musk grabbed his iPhone and wrote to his nearly 40 million subscribers: "Take the red pill", red rose emoji. Over 120,000 retweets and 530,000 "likes" for this invitation to swallow a "red pill". In the Matrix trilogy, directed by sisters Lana and Lilly Wachowski, computer scientist Neo, played by Keanu Reeves, is given the choice between a blue granule and a red granule. The first allows you to "have sweet dreams", especially to continue not to ask any questions; the second obliges us to face the truth in the face.
