The article discusses Elon Musk's recent electoral defeat in Wisconsin, where a judge he vigorously campaigned against won the election. Musk's political ambitions, including significant financial contributions to undermine judicial independence, appear to have backfired. His reduced online political commentary following the defeat indicates a possible shift in focus back to his business ventures, reflecting on how his current political path diverges from a past where he remained a neutral tech leader. The juxtaposition of political failure and SpaceX accomplishments serves both as a critique of Musk's political engagement and a reflection on the potential for alternate narratives.
Underneath his post was a video shared by SpaceX-footage of craggy ice caps, taken by the company's Dragon spacecraft during a private mission.
In the light of defeat, the SpaceX post feels like a glimpse into what could have been for Musk-a timeline where the world's richest man wasn't algorithmically radicalized.
