Who is Elon Musk really?

[Jerry_Atrick]

I read or saw a TV/YT segment that in the Truth Social comments, most, if not all of the MAGA mob were backing usk, especially over the debt levels. However, I think Musk may be playing the issue poorly, because he is coming across as whiney, and also has as much as had his investment in political donations isn't paying off (used words like Chump has shown ingratitude when considering how I [Musk] had donated). 

 

For the day/swing trader in Tesla.. if he couldn't see the writing on the wall and got out or at least went short of TSLA the day, or shortly after Chump did his Tesla promotion stunt, or at least when the spat started by Musk (rightly) criticising the bill... as there was only one wau thay was goign to end, and it was pretty predictable what short term inpact it woud have in TSLA share prices. I am guessing he bought and drank the Kool-Aid on TSLA - maybe himself a MAGA maniac. 

 

Re the claim of Epstien files.. well, everyone is saying without proof, as if Chump has normally proffered proof for almost every claim he has made. In anycase, I may be missing something, but as far as I can see, the only proof would be to present the documents. And as they are as yet under wraps, he would be putting himself in a precarious position if he released them. My guess is the justice department wouldn't be as tiptoey to prosecute Musk as they were Chump especially as the senior court system is more or less captive to Chump.

I like this Guardian opinion piece on the breakdown.

Good, the more crazies splitting the moron vote, the better chance the Democrats have.

However, sad to say, that echoes my view of our Australian two party system.

 

How  can we balance between voting for one mob of bullies or a slightly different mob of bullies. Each mob is promoting their sponsors interests instead of their population's interests.

Musk has started a software company in opposition to Microsoft. He's called it Macrohard.

Elon Musk is no longer the world's Richest man. Larry Ellison, founder or Oracle (or as I call it, Horracle), has managed to get AI to pay. Fair play: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2rp992y88o

I do wonder how his ego is going, now that he is only the second richest man on planet earth. 

Will this setback spur him on to new aggranisement projects?
