让我们回头谈谈时事话题。
特朗普这一次美国大选王者归来，一个很重要的原因就是和4年前相比，一些原本属于左派阵营的人士转而支持他。当然也有一些共和党建制派投了民主党哈里斯，但特朗普本来就和这些建制派不对付，所以并没有什么损失。
分析其中原因，政治评论员们的解释是：4年前，当左派们并没有掌握最高权力时，他们必须同心协力共同反对"懂王"。但是一旦掌握了权力之后，很快就会发生分裂。原因也很简单，左派的理念就是牺牲一部分人的利益去满足另外一部分人。用通俗好听一点的话来说，就是重新分蛋糕。但是每个团体的利益都各不相同，容易在利益划分的问题上发生冲突，导致左派的分裂。这也是历史上很多左派团体经过革命上台之后都会发生内部清洗之类运动的原因。
在这些转投特朗普的事例当中，最吸引人眼球的就是世界首富、硅谷钢铁侠马斯克。在多年以前，马斯克的观点可以说是彻头彻尾的白左，倡导环保，这也是特斯拉电动车得以通过接受政府补贴发展起来的原因。而在这次大选中，他全力支持特朗普，而且在竞选活动中非常卖力。为了调动特朗普支持者的投票热情，还设立了百万美元的投票抽奖活动。他也深得特朗普的赏识，在竞选胜利后的特朗普家庭合影中特地邀请马斯克加入，颇有中国历史上著名的商人吕不韦扶持秦国质子异人登上王位的造王者风范。
但是有一个非常有脑洞的演义式的猜想：虽然马斯克和特朗普眼下打得火热，特朗普甚至任命他为政府效率部门总管，负责削减联邦政府的预算开支。但是也许就像那些掌权之后就分裂的左派集团一样，马斯克和"懂王"特朗普之间的联盟，大概率也不会长期持续。实际上他们代表着两派完全不同的势力：特朗普的基本盘还是中下层的美国白人，特别是那些被俗称为"红脖子"的下层美国白人居民。特朗普的政策特色是回归美国传统的孤立主义，通过增加关税、阻止中国产品的进口来维持美国工人的就业，同时拒绝发动战争，将美国的资源消耗在无意义的对外战争当中。
马斯克则代表着一股新的经济势力，可以被称作"硅谷右翼"。而像脸书、亚马逊、谷歌之类的高科技公司则可称为"硅谷左翼"，他们大都和华尔街的犹太财团关系密切，政策上倾向于民主党的建制左翼路线。这次2024大选，实际上是以马斯克为代表的新兴硅谷右翼科技大公司，借助"懂王"的外壳来挑战传统的华尔街犹太财团的经济势力。
而且与特朗普的孤立主义和贸易保护主义政策不同，马斯克的理念仍然是全球化的，甚至他还有更高的目标，就是星辰大海、殖民火星。他显然不会像特朗普标榜的那样抱有"美国优先"的观念。就像他这次给"懂王"助选，也并非全然认同特朗普的理念，而仅仅是在利用这股势力打击旧的犹太金融势力而已。他这次深度介入政治，绝非是为了"让美国再次伟大"，而仅仅是将美国作为实现星辰大海、星际殖民计划的工具国而已。在这场控制与反控制的博弈当中，双方必然会爆发新的矛盾，让我们拭目以待。
Let's go back to current events.
A very important reason for Trump's return as king of the US election this time is that compared with four years ago, some people who originally belonged to the left camp turned to support him. Of course, there are some establishment Republicans who voted for Democratic Harris, but Trump has not dealt with these establishment groups, so there is no loss.
Political commentators say that four years ago, when the left did not hold the supreme power, they had to work together to oppose the "king of Understanding." But once power is in hand, it quickly splits. The reason is very simple, the left's philosophy is to sacrifice the interests of some people to satisfy the interests of others. In layman's terms, it is to redivide the cake. But the interests of each group are different, and it is easy to conflict over the division of interests, resulting in a split on the left. This is why many leftist groups in history have resorted to internal purges after coming to power in revolutions.
Among these cases of switching to Trump, the most eye-catching is the world's richest man, Silicon Valley Iron Man Musk. Years ago, Musk's view can be said to be completely white left, advocating environmental protection, which is also the reason why Tesla electric vehicles can be developed by accepting government subsidies. In this election, he fully supported Trump and worked hard on the campaign trail. In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of Trump supporters to vote, a million dollars of voting lottery was set up. He was also deeply appreciated by Trump, and specially invited Musk to join in the Trump family photo after the election victory, quite the kingmaker style of Lu Buwei, a famous businessman in Chinese history, who supported the proton inhuman of the State of Qin to ascend the throne.
But here's a very imaginative hypothesis: Although Musk and Trump are currently on fire, Trump has even appointed him as head of the government efficiency Department, responsible for cutting the federal government's budget. But perhaps like those left groups that split after coming to power, the alliance between Musk and "understand king" Trump is unlikely to last for long. In fact, they represent two very different forces: Trump's base is still middle - and lower-class white Americans, especially those who are popularly known as "red necks." Trump's policy is characterized by a return to traditional American isolationism, raising tariffs and blocking imports of Chinese products to keep American workers employed, while refusing to wage war and expending American resources in pointless foreign wars.
Musk represents a new economic force that could be called the "Silicon Valley right." Tech companies like Facebook, Amazon, and Google can be called the "Silicon Valley left," most of which have close ties to Wall Street Jewish conglomerates and tend to lean toward the Democratic Party's establishment left on policy. This 2024 election, in fact, is the emerging Silicon Valley right-wing technology companies represented by Musk, using the shell of "understand the king" to challenge the economic power of the traditional Wall Street Jewish syndicates.
And unlike Trump's isolationist and trade protectionist policies, Musk's ideas are still global, and even he has a higher goal, which is the sea of stars, colonizing Mars. He clearly does not have the "America First" mentality that Trump claims to have. Just as he campaigned for the "understand King" this time, he did not fully agree with Trump's ideas, but only used this force to fight against the old Jewish financial forces. He is deeply involved in politics this time, not to "make America great again", but merely to use the United States as a tool country to achieve the star-sea, interstellar colonization plan. In this game of control and anti-control, the two sides will inevitably break out new contradictions, let us wait and see.
