Well his story is inspiring. And anyone who doesn't think so is an asshole, in my opinion.

How does Elon Musk meeting with trump equate to "being on the trump train"?
It's just a list of meetings trump has. Nothing to do with support. Probably they are going to be pleading with him to lift the Muslim ban because a lot of their skilled workers (who happen to be from Muslim countries) are banned from entereing the states at the moment.

"We share the concerns about the impact of the executive order on our employees from the listed countries, all of whom have been in the United States lawfully, and we're actively working with them to provide legal advice and assistance," Microsoft told CNBC.
Facebook also told CNBC that it was assessing how to protect its workers from adverse effects.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerbergwas one of the first to address the ban publicly. "We need to keep this country safe, but we should do that by focusing on people who actually pose a threat," Zuckerberg wrote on Facebook on Friday.
Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk tweeted his disapproval of the ban Saturday.
Meanwhile, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in a memo to employees that nearly 200 employees abroadwould be affected by the move. "We're concerned about the impact of this order and any proposals that could impose restrictions on Googlers and their families," a spokesperson said in a statement released to CNBC.
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings wrote on Facebook that "Trump's actions are hurting Netflix employees around the world, and are so un-American it pains us all. Worse, these actions will make America less safe (through hatred and loss of allies) rather than more safe."
Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky also advocated for "open door" policies said that
Uber told CNBC that it had 12 employees affected by the order, and is offering legal support. In an internal memo, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick also pointed out that the ban affects "thousands" of Uber drivers who "take long breaks to go back home to see their extended family."
Sam Altman, president of prestigious start-up program Y Combinator, called on tech leaders to take action, writing in a blog post on Saturday that "it is time for tech companies to start speaking up about some of the actions taken by President Trump's administration."
Slack boss Stewart Butterfield tweeted that America is "throwing away" its moral authority with the ban. "Immigration is unambigously an economic benefit, but, doesn't matter: [D]o the right thing because it's right," Butterfield tweeted.
Anil Dash, CEO of Fog Creek Software, which helped create products like StackOverflow and Trello, called for more action from the technology community.

The blanket entry ban on citizens from certain primarily Muslim countries is not the best way to address the country’s challenges
Elon Musk
@elonmusk
Many people negatively affected by this policy are strong supporters of the US. They've done right,not wrong & don't deserve to be rejected.

Why do Righties take pics with all of their valuable stuff spread out in a table cloth while holding their gun of choice?
What purpose does that serve?
National identification other than SS number sounds like they're setting up the foundation for Muslim registry.
Jesus Christ Chuck Schumer is practically crying over this..according to Trump 'I know him..fake tears..about a 5% chance the tears were real..did you know I had the biggest inauguration crowd?'

Trump, during his presidential campaign last year, had called for Gulf states to pay for establishing safe zones to protect Syrian refugees.
A statement after the phone call said the two leaders agreed on the importance of strengthening joint efforts to fight the spread of Islamic State militants.
"The president requested, and the King agreed, to support safe zones in Syria and Yemen, as well as supporting other ideas to help the many refugees who are displaced by the ongoing conflicts," the statement said.
The Saudi Press Agency, in an initial readout of the call, made no specific mention of safe zones, but said the two leaders had affirmed the "depth and durability of the strategic relationship" between the two countries.
The agency later said "the custodian of the Two Holy Mosques had confirmed his support and backing for setting up safe zones in Syria", but did not mention Yemen, where a Saudi alliance is fighting against the Iran-aligned Houthi group.

My thoughts are he is going to work with Trump, unions, and business to create jobs and economic growth in this country.@elonmusk

Going to TRY, because trump is the president. But you certainly can't still say he's on "the trump train". He's openly opposing trumps actions thus far.

Saudia Arabia isn't on the banned passport list at the moment. And of course trump supports safe zones; he doesn't want refugees in America.

"Trump himself said in October that his then-political rival's plan for resolving the Syrian conflict, which included establishing no-fly zones and safe zones, would "lead to World War III." He used the same logic many experts are now using to express skepticism about his own plan.
"What we should do is focus on ISIS. We should not be focusing on Syria," Trump told The Guardian. "You're going to end up in World War III over Syria if we listen to Hillary Clinton."

For that to happen trump is going to have to stop being a malignant narcissist and actually make deals for the greater good. Not just on a whim or to save face.
His Muslim ban was not well thought out, executed atrociously, and caused much pain and confusion for so many people. American people, not just "the other guys".
Do you not agree that the ban was carried out in a callous way and could have been handled better?

Does not have to be a no fly zone. We can cooperate with Russia in whatever Syria decides is the best way to secure their nation against terrorism. How funny would it be if it was a wall? Hey, it works for Israel. They need housing, food, and security. Much cheaper to give it to them over there. We can protect more people with our money if we coordinate with other nations to secure Syria.
Getting Saudi to help with safe zones is great. He probably leveraged free travel in exchange for assistance in creating and maintaining safe zones.

Not a muslim ban. Muslims from other nations are free to come here.
Now that immigration ban is in place, kinks can be ironed out. 90 days to figure out which countries can provide proof of identity for their citizens. Obama admin identified the 7 countries that Trump selected. The ban is temporary (potentially permanent in countries without the ability to verify documents).
