Was mocking Musk a mistake? Democrats think about warmer relationship with the billionaire – POLITICO

Ro Khanna is trading texts with Elon Musk. Josh Shapiro took a call from him. And John Fetterman has compared him to the superhero Tony Stark.

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to install Musk as the federal government s cutter-in-chief, some ambitious Democrats are taking a warmer approach to the billionaire businessman than their party leaders have in the past as he has become one the most influential people on the planet.

The old joke is that an honest politician is one who once bought, stays bought. Most of these are just dishonest politicians. Except Fetterman. Some political part of his brain seems to have died, and he seems better off without it.
