Elon Musk's Trump Backing: A Fatal Strategic Error?

According to The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump is reportedly considering appointing Elon Musk as his policy adviser if he wins the US presidential election. The two have been in communication in recent weeks, with their first meeting taking place in early March at the home of American billionaire Nelson Platz. Since then, they have had several phone calls discussing various issues, including immigration.

Musk, who voted for Biden in the previous term, has become closer to Republicans in recent years. After a meeting with Trump in Florida, he said he would not donate to the Trump or Biden campaigns, but as the Wall Street Journal quoted a source He is reported to have said he will "use his influence ... to defeat Biden by enlisting the support of influential allies."

According to Reuters, Musk previously said without providing evidence that Biden deliberately allows illegal immigrants to cross the US-Mexico border and enter the United States.

In 2016, during the election campaign, Musk criticized Trump's character and policies and even donated money to Hillary Clinton's campaign.

In May 2022, Elon Musk announced that if he were to acquire Twitter, he would reinstate Trump's account. However, less than two months later, Trump referred to Musk as an "empty artist," and Musk responded by saying that Trump was not competent to run for the presidential election.

Amidst these fluctuations, Reuters has now reported that the results of a survey indicate that Elon Musk's views have negatively affected his standing among a number of consumers.

Why is Elon Musk making the biggest mistake by supporting Trump?

Elon Musk's support of Donald Trump can be considered as one of his biggest mistakes, because this action not only contradicts Musk's ambitious and global goals, but it can have serious negative effects on his public image and his future successes. In the following, we will discuss the main reasons for this argument

Elon Musk's primary goal is to make humanity multi-planetary, and SpaceX was established with this objective in mind. Musk has stated, "If we are confined to only one planet, the risk of civilization collapse is very high. However, by becoming multi-planetary, this risk will decrease." In his speeches, Musk consistently highlights the significance of multi-planetary expansion as a safeguard for human survival and as a means to create new economic and technological opportunities. He believes that venturing beyond Earth is not only essential to prevent extinction, but also has the potential to bring about a bright and inspiring future for all humankind.

• "International cooperation and coordination, with projects like SpaceX and the goal of sending humans to Mars, may be hindered by Trump's nationalistic and divisive policies. This could lead to the weakening of international support for these projects.
• During his presidency, Trump demonstrated little desire to support science and technology. His administration's cuts to science and research funding could directly impact Musk's space projects.
• Musk has always been known as a person with innovative and global views. Supporting Trump, who has divisive and nationalist policies, could tarnish Musk's image in the public eye and conflict with his global values."
• "Musk, as a leader in the technology and space industry, should be trusted by the people and the scientific community. Supporting a person who is opposed by many people and groups in society can lead to a decrease in public trust in Musk.
• Trump can be seen as a threat to any long-term cooperation due to the controversial policies and political instability he created during his presidency. Trump's support may cause Musk's projects to face sudden and unpredictable changes in government policies.
• Trump's economic policies, which included trade sanctions and tariffs, could harm international trade and access to global markets. This could have a direct negative impact on Musk's businesses and projects."

Elon Musk's support for Donald Trump could be one of his biggest mistakes, as this action is in direct conflict with his ambitious and global goals. It could have serious negative effects on his public image, public trust, and future success. Instead of supporting Trump, Musk should endorse global approaches and international cooperation to achieve his long-term goals, including becoming multiplanetary, and to play a positive role in the future of humanity.

In order to successfully settle on other planets and establish a multiplanetary civilization, it is essential to create a unified alliance on Earth. Achieving a multiplanetary civilization will only be possible through a global government. We cannot pursue expansion into space while being embroiled in wars, disputes, and territorial conflicts on Earth. The colonization of space and planets should not be driven by individual countries, as this could lead to inequality, unproductive competition, and conflicts over space colonization and resources.

?? Elon Musk's multi-planetary goal is one of the greatest missions of humanity, but he forgot the basic step and infrastructure of this goal, which is the international alliance and world government. Travel to other planets and space colonization require huge and complex projects that can only be implemented with international cooperation. And it is the world government that can provide the necessary coordination to carry out these projects. Furthermore, the acquisition of financial resources and cutting-edge technologies from across the globe necessitates international collaboration. A global governing body can play a crucial role in ensuring the equitable and efficient allocation of these resources.

Successful international projects such as the International Space Station (ISS) have shown that global cooperation in space can lead to great achievements. Supporting universalist approaches can help repeat and expand such successes.

?? For Elon Musk, supporting universalism and the formation of a world government is not only necessary to achieve ambitious space goals such as becoming multi-planetary, but it also helps to create a better future for humanity from a moral and human point of view. On the other hand, supporting Trump and his nationalist policies could pose a serious threat to these goals and jeopardize essential international cooperation and support. By adopting a global approach, Elon Musk can play a key role in building a sustainable and common future for all humans.

Without a world government, it will be difficult to set international rules for the responsible use of space resources. These rules can include sharing resources, preventing the militarization of space, and protecting the space environment.

The absence of a global institution can lead to unhealthy and destructive competition between countries. The World Republic can turn these competitions into constructive cooperation and can help reduce international tensions and increase global security. Peace and security are necessary to carry out ambitious space projects.

Also, in the absence of a world government, the risk of militarization of space and war increases. This issue can lead to serious threats to global security and endanger space projects.

Nationalist policies, such as those followed by Trump, can create increased tensions and divisions between countries, which could impede international cooperation and the success of space projects.

Similarly, nationalist policies are often linked to reductions in science and technology budgets, potentially weakening space projects. Leaders like Trump prioritize national interests over international cooperation, which may undermine global efforts to establish a presence on multiple planets.

To achieve the ambitious goal of becoming multi-planetary and colonizing space, it is crucial to establish a world government. Such a governing body could facilitate international coordination, regulate space laws, and promote global peace and security. Conversely, strengthening nationalism, as pursued by Trump, could lead to divisiveness, reduced science and technology budgets, hindered international cooperation, and impede the process of making life multi-planetary. Therefore, supporting global approaches and establishing a world government is not only essential for the success of space projects but also vital for a sustainable and shared future for all humanity.
