I use a principle from evolutionary biology to explain the big difference in behavior between Elon Musk and Oprah Winfrey when it came to this year's battle between Donald J. Trump and @kamalaharris.

@elonmusk @Oprah @realDonaldTrump @KamalaHarris Sir, any updates on your talk with Crown Prince @PahlaviReza?

@elonmusk @Oprah @realDonaldTrump @KamalaHarris Elon embodies the ‘Handicap Principle’ like no one else—pushing limits, breaking norms, and showing he’s not here for anyone’s approval.

@elonmusk @Oprah @realDonaldTrump @KamalaHarris Elon Musk's "costly signaling," will be crucial in safeguarding humanity's future. He went "all in, all in, baby", without expecting any immediate benefits. Civilization will benefit...in time.

@elonmusk @Oprah @realDonaldTrump @KamalaHarris Excellent comparison.

@elonmusk @Oprah @realDonaldTrump @KamalaHarris Oh, I love learning new things, and that was so interesting! Evolutionary Biology is definitely cooler when you explain it 😂 Thank you for making it so engaging! 🥰

This is true Musk put in his millions. However, I think there was another reason for this signaling. I believe he wanted more freedom for his companies. Under a dem administration, the herculean efforts and good business practices in his companies were resisted, whereas in a trump administration, his companies are celebrated.

@elonmusk @Oprah @realDonaldTrump @KamalaHarris Elon has made 80Bn since election in the Tesla share price. Covers Twitter, election with change to spare. His investment was a bargain.

@elonmusk @Oprah @realDonaldTrump @KamalaHarris Just love the way you explain things. Thanks so much!

@elonmusk @Oprah @realDonaldTrump @KamalaHarris Authenticity matters. It’s easy to be authentic when you’re also righteous.
