Elon Musk’s foray into politics might not be on the horizon just yet, but a recent poll outcome has sparked whispers about a possible gubernatorial bid in New York. With Trump finally managing to tip the scales and gain a favorability rating just above water, it seems that Musk’s numbers are even more impressive. When it comes to public opinion, Musk boasts a jaw-dropping 80% favorability among Republicans—an anomaly in today’s age of perpetual contempt for public figures. One can’t help but wonder if the GOP has been overlooking a golden opportunity as they eye the 2026 race.
Governor Kathy Hochul’s time in office has been less than stellar, to put it mildly. Her leadership has turned the Empire State into something resembling a failed experiment in governance. With a lower population than Florida and a budget more bloated than an all-you-can-eat buffet line, New York’s financial mismanagement is on full display. The state is hemorrhaging taxpayer dollars at an alarming rate, with billions sent to accommodate the flood of illegal aliens. Musk, known for his business acumen, has pointed out that New York is paying through the nose for inflated hotel rates—confirming that the state’s dealings are riddled with fraud, waste, and abuse.
While he can’t grab the presidential reins—unless Canada pulls a fast one and becomes the 51st state—Musk could still have a major impact on New York’s political landscape. If he isn’t keen on swapping his tech and space pursuits for a seat in the governor’s mansion, perhaps he could throw his support behind a savvy Republican like Rob Astorino. The former Westchester County Executive has already proven he can attract the right votes to make a run competitive. With a motivated GOP base, he could even peel away enough ballots in the Big Apple’s outer boroughs to secure victory.
In other news, the Department of Education has entered the bizarre world of repossessing awards from trans men in women’s sports. The question arises: will they put up a fight, or will their challengers find it remarkably easy to win? Meanwhile, Tom Homan, former ICE chief, raised eyebrows by suggesting the FBI has been leaking details of ICE raids, perhaps allowing illegals to give law enforcement the slip. With the Bureau’s reputation dwindling into absurdity, one wonders if it has become the latest rendition of law enforcement’s biggest punchline.

On a more bizarre front, Worcester, Mass., is basking in its recent decision to become a sanctuary for transgender and gender-diverse people. Once heralded as a land of liberty, it seems the city has traded its adherence to law for a new understanding of freedom, wrapped in radical ideologies. The juxtaposition of historical inscriptions about liberty should leave residents pondering how far society has wandered, from once burning witches to being ruled by a different breed of “witches.”
In this whirlwind of political absurdity, one cannot help but be entertained, and Musk’s potential political aspirations bring a dash of excitement to the otherwise drab Democratic landscape. With the likes of Hochul still grappling with governance and New Yorkers yearning for change, a fresh face—especially one as colorful as Musk’s—could shake things up, restoring a semblance of sanity to state politics.
