This makes me think these ppl feel threatened by him bc they know their advantages will come to an end bc Trump has the interest of the American ppl first. This is likely why they've tried to smear him, arrest him, raid his house, even ppl have shot him (and the government can't even get into the shooters' phones, either [which is mad sus and suggests they weren't working alone, but that's a different topic]). They have hated him from the very beginning of his tenure. I remember in 2017 he set up a website where people could directly petition for something to be signed, and if a majority of the nation made a petition to him, he'd sign the thing they wanted into law. And some corrupt people tried to upend that and use it to get him kicked out of office. You'd think that would make people excited that the POTUS is actually listening to the people, but not these ppl.
And Elon is another person who I think is rare and actually cares about benefitting people, and for a few reasons. First, he did not have to buy Twitter by any means (it actually cost him a lot of money, and bc of site bots at the time, he was most definitely getting the bad side of the deal, and he knew that). Rich businessmen don't usually do something that costs them tens of billions of dollars and isn't guaranteed to give them anywhere near the same amount of income. (Now he does have a lot of money, but keep in mind, this was not long after Biden's inauguration and everyone's net worth was plummeting [including Bezos, Gates, etc.], so if our economy kept tanking, this could've cost him dearly). But on Joe Rogan, he said one of the reasons he bought Twitter was because free speech was getting destroyed on every platform and he wanted to do something about it (and that probably saved this election, bc the left couldn't blatantly censor things like they did in 2020 bc they no longer had a monopoly on social media). So he gave away money to a cause he believed would help everyone.
And both Trump and Elon were living fine lives before getting into politics. Ever since they've involved themselves, they've gotten hate and both have had 2 attempts on their lives in 2024. Yet they keep fighting. Selfish narcissists would not try to get into slightly better situations if it put their lives at stake. In fact, Trump's Mar-a-lago mansion is actually higher class than the WH is. If they just were after power, they'd influence politics quietly with their money, like many other billionaires.
