He is wrong.

Obama wouldn't stand a chance if it is purely tribal.

Elon is tribal in his approach.

DeLaRue:


'Tribe' in the US context is mostly along Republican and Democratic lines.

Some members of either party absolutely detests the other party. Some republicans will not even buy a house if they find out their neighbour is a Democrat. Vice versa. Some even move to states where majority of the people vote for a party they prefer.

Yes, it is a minority that behaves like that, but trust me, even among the majority of Americans, there is no love lost between republicans and Democrats expecially since Trump came into the political scene.

It is endless arguments, accusation & counter accusation, frustration on both sides, mistrust etc

A lot of passion on both sides. 'We are good, they are bad' stuff.

That's tribal.

HNICEARTH:
Most bigoted nigerians dont understand what elon was trying to say.

"Politics is tribal...", he wasnt implying tribe like igbo, yoruba, hausa or fulani.

He was only trying to explain that politics is local or politics resonates more with a people when it's been affiliated with what they understand or gravitate towards to than logic.

If you gravitate towards religion or your tribe, then your politics will always be igbo, hausa, yoruba, fulani, Islam and christianity.

If you gravitate towards better education, better economy, better infrastructure, then your politics will always resonate with that

Melagros:
COMRADES, apc supporters will use this message as a pretex for their bigotry and tribalism

Goodvibes007:
Edo people understand this fact very well and have told Igbo Obidients and Yoruba Obidients to back off.

They would not have had an empire which we celebrate today if not for tribal politics. It's also called self preservation.

You seem confused.

What people understand is simply what they logically resonate to . This is not what he meant.

He meant the people identify is superior to their logical reasoning when it comes to politics.
That's true sometimes, even in Nigeria.

adamusuleiman1:

The message is clear enough. Stop trying to create an answer for a problem that doesn't exist.

Musk is Pro Conservative and Pro Republican. Republican love racial/traditional /preservation politics which is very similar to our tribal politics in Nigeria.

Asonaijaaso:
Elon is wrong on this one.

Politics is 70% Logical and 30% Tribal.

You mean race isn't tribe in the US?

christistruth01:



Go to the Core North are see if you can persuade them to Vote for a SE Supreme Court Judge over a Zamfara Killer Bandit and you will know that Politics is a Tribal Champion

Mahatma Ghandi Captured it well when he said I would rather have an Indian Terrorist rule India than an English one

Who told you that Elon is pro Republican? He has voted for more democrats than he has for republicans. He is more of an independent.

HNICEARTH:


Yeah, when all one knows is tribal and bigoted politics, understanding context becomes alien to such individual.

There is a reason folks write IELTS exam before japa, even do we are an English speaking country

Asonaijaaso:


How many times did Buhari contest and fail....He was relying on tribal sentiments.
How many times did Atiku contest and Fail.....He is relying on tribal sentiments.
Obi too will always fail ...If he continue to rely on the tribal sentiments of obidients.

Jagaban understands there ha to be Tribal as well as logic..so he secured southwest slowly over 20 years and supported Buhari to clinch the ticket.

Slytiger:

In 2022, Musk said he would start voting for Republican Party candidates, with him showing support for Vivek Ramaswamy in the 2024 Republican presidential primaries.

Although Elon said he won't be giving anybody money.

Goodvibes007:

He has shifted to the right in the last 4 years or so.

tctrills:

That does not make you a republican.
The US also have this group of people called independents who voted democrats or republicans depending on their preference at that time.
Elon falls into this category.
