$290million. That’s the money that Elon Musk paid for the election last year. He has spent more since. Was it worth it? Did he get value for money?
He did get four months of power, which he used to destroy the machinery of government, while failing to find the waste and inefficiency he was supposed to be looking for. Then he was sacked.
Following this, his many enemies put lurid stories of his ketamine addiction into the newspapers. Then a series of critical articles describing the death toll caused by all the cuts he made in government. And then yesterday a big argument with his former boss, each man taking to his own social media platform to insult and threaten the other for the entertainment of the whole world. Men can get so emotional sometimes.
He is strikingly oblivious to what is going on and his part in it. The government grants that he depends on will disappear. Just like the grants he so gleefully cancelled for spurious “woke” reasons. Steve Bannon, causing trouble, has called for him to be deported. Funny. Musk however believes that law, due process and the constitution will save him and remove the president.
All those bad things he did to other people: those things are going to happen to him soon. It’s a shame he rejects empathy, otherwise he might not have done them in the first place. Maybe he will learn – this lesson cost $290million.
