I think this has to happen like well before election cycles, he put his shovel in the ground for trump well before meeting with Harris. He's in elons pockets, they're the greatest of friends. If anything you need elon like left leaning surrogates to hang around him to break the ice. Kamala would have been clipped to death if she went on thereIts not about winning them over, its about getting them to know her and chopping off a piece of it.
Think about it like this, random people on social media got MAGA heads blown over what tariffs mean. Imagine her explaining that on Joe Rogan?
The same way Trump was doing stuff to get black people to at best vote for him, but really just not vote, she could have done the same.
