To the Editor:

Elon Musk may not be the smartest man in the U.S. but he is certainly the richest. He didn’t get that way by buying a winning lottery ticket but by making sound business decisions made possible by the American capitalist system. Socialism did not make him successful, so why are so many liberal Democrats wanting to go down the path of failed ideologies? Musk has stated the Democratic Party is one of division and hate and he will no longer support it.

So who would you hitch your wagon to? Musk or the likes of Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC or other far-left Democrats that are forcing America to the brink of disaster?

A recent poll reports that only 18% of the country believes America is heading in the right direction. Daily the numbers plummet, and as the little boy famously said, “It’s only gonna get worser.”
