September 2020 Musk told Kara Swisher he wouldn't vaccinate for COVID.
[Translated: ] If Harris wins, Musk recently said, he would be "fucked" - which, conversely, can be understood as a free pass for the ex-president: Musk would not stop anything that could overthrow Harris. On the contrary.

The narration went further, calling the trio the "Axis of Evil". It's powerful, take a look:
