Heavy social commentary regarding communism. Whether pro or anti is unclear.

I for one wish they would bring back that awesome 1950s men's fashion.
Goddamn, I hate AI art.
Why on earth would he be afraid of Musk though? And him not saying anything negative could also be explained by him thinking so little of Musk that he hasn't even noticed what he's doing.
You must've been reading a much higher caliber of novels than I have then. I have read a lot of trash though, so it's hardly surprising that a trashy novel has trashy themes and empty shock value.
Can't have an uprising of illiterate peasants taught to read by the communists if the country doesn't suffer from illiteracy 
The real fake part is the idea of him donating billions of actual dollars. He'll give them a fleet of cybertrucks "for the war effort" (That were just sitting unsold in a lot somewhere) and use them as a tax write-off.
Oh hey, look, it's the thing that the west was saying that the bad guy countries would be doing in order to be lazy and not actually improve emissions and green energy! I sure am glad the good guy countries are the ones doing this, I'd hate to think what would happen if a country responsible for the vast majority of lifetime global emissions did something like this as a quick shortcut instead of actually trying to right their past wrongs!
SA is usually used in fiction just for pure empty shock value, it isn't about how it affects women, 90% of the time it is just used to "inspire" the men in the story to seek revenge. So usually I'd agree with this statement of it not belonging in a work of fiction.
However, context does matter, and it does just seem like this guy is mad that his cool TV fascists are doing actual fascist things instead of just being "badass" or whatever.
Of course they did, they even got a jury of their peers.
First off, obligatory never worked a day in his life and never will.
You'd think he'd be better at video games, but apparently that's too much work for him too.
I think you might have your dates mixed up a little bit. Musk attached himself to Trump because he saw that Trump was popular and influential, and wanted some of that for himself. He hitched his wagon to a winning horse so to speak. Trump was already doing well. I wouldn't describe him as the primary force behind Trump winning at all. Trump largely won due to a flaccid and incompetent campaign by the dems. And Musk could've spent billions backing any republican he wanted, but that wouldn't mean that they would win. When it came to internal polls of the republican party, Trump wasn't just ahead, he always had a supermajority, and this was before Elon got involved as well.
