I purchased this earlier than Elon went loopy, learn bumper stickers on many Tesla automobiles. Others merely say, Elon Shut Up. The world has had sufficient of Elon Musk. The world is Musk’ed out.
Elon Musk is the richest individual on the planet, together with his web value lately crossing the $500 billion mark. He’s set to be the primary trillionaire ever. It’s regular for an individual with a lot wealth and energy to have sure edges. However Elon is an edge in himself.
After serenading the recently-divorced Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Musk is now berating the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for his dealing with of the just-happened terrorist assault in japanese Germany. Musk desires the Germans to extradite the Saudi suspect to Saudi Arabia the place he could possibly be put to dying (there is no such thing as a dying penalty in Germany).
If Musk was talking as a personal citizen, it maybe may be satisfactory however he appears to have the backing of US President-elect Donald Trump. Musk did Trump many favors, as an example by donating over a $100 million to his election marketing campaign, and by eradicating the ban imposed on him by Twitter, now X. However now Trump can not appear to eliminate him.
Trump appears unhinged to many and maybe likes the much more unhinged Musk round him. From taking part in the leaping jackass at his election rallies, Musk is now doing the identical throughout his government-to-be. With out Musk, the subsequent 4 years promise to be bumpy. With him, they are going to be even bumpier.
The one hope is that Trump will tire of Musk as he has of many different associates prior to now like Steve Bannon and dump him. Nevertheless it could possibly be a forlorn hope. What a (ghastly) journey are we in for!
Little question, Musk is a genius. In some ways, he’s smarter than Trump. The actual hazard forward is that Musk acts as some form of poseur-US president, liking and disliking international governments at will. At present, US diplomats are freaking out. They are often relaxation assured that Musk is talking for Trump. Tomorrow could possibly be even crazier after they might not be certain concerning the equation between Musk and Trump.
Trump has assigned a vaporware division of presidency effectivity (DOGE) to Musk, inserting Vivek Ramaswamy as his underling. The DOGE is meant to make the federal authorities extra lean and imply, however Musk was simply including to the federal authorities’s headcount by hiring folks on X who he stated must work 80+ hour weeks. It’s unclear whether or not being the pinnacle of DOGE is a cabinet-level place.
The enterprise of state is just too severe a enterprise to be left to the likes of mavericks like Musk and Trump. Trump is already appearing just like the president. The respectable man Joe Biden is just too drained to rein him in. Musk is already the trumpet for Trump. Trump might be sworn in as president on January 20, 2025. Think about how Musk will behave then, bossing round one and everybody.
Musk has cast ties with the Trump household. He calls himself the “first buddy.” He’s there at any time when there’s a notable operate at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida retreat and is the final to depart. Trump’s granddaughters name him Uncle and go ga-ga over watching SpaceX launches with him.
Musk guarantees to ship people to Mars and colonize it. It will be good for one and all if he joins the occasion to Mars and stays there. And let the Germans grieve in peace!
