Trump and Harris both have celebrity billionaires campaigning for them, but I think I’d rather have Trump supporter Elon Musk on my side than Harris-pushing Mark Cuban, whose candidate has such bad economic ideas that he’s forced to deny she really means it even as he attempts to promote her.

During a Harris campaign event in Arizona, Cuban was asked if Harris supports a big tax on unrealized capital gains. That means taxing the increase in value of assets, even if you haven’t sold them and taken the profit. Trump calls it “communism,” and even Cuban knows it’s an incredibly stupid idea and an economy killer. So he assured the questioner that Harris does not support that.

Problem is, she said in August that she did support it, and it’s one of the few idiotic leftist ideas she hasn’t taken back.

Elon Musk seems to be having a lot more fun stumping for Trump. Musk made a stunning revelation about one reason why he’s backing Trump and wants to head up a government efficiency office to eliminate needless regulations. It was a jaw-dropping story about all the idiotic demands California regulators put on SpaceX before they would clear letting their rockets land in the ocean. These ranged from studies of the likelihood of the rocket hitting a shark and then a whale, and forcing SpaceX to put headphones on a seal and play sonic boom sounds to study its reaction.

This is a must-read that’s already inspiring countless pro-Trump memes of headphone-wearing seals. It would be hilarious if you didn’t realize these loony bureaucrats were actually serious.

Of course, Musk is also being accused by leftists of violating election laws by giving away a million dollars a day to a random registered voter who signs his PAC’s petition. But he’s not paying for votes or paying anyone to register. Not like Mark Zuckerberg, who spent hundreds of millions of dollars in 2020 registering voters mostly in heavily-Democrat districts. Apparently, it’s okay for billionaires to buy votes only when they’re buying them from Democrat office holders. And it’s okay to promise free money for votes only if you’re offering them other people’s tax money.
