Another Article About Elon Musk: If You Choose not to Read, I Understand

 

If you are like me, you find Elon Musk a very boring man. However, now that he has become the co-pre, he is part of every day’s news. I find this part of the story most interesting because it affects his ridiculously great wealth. I consider billionaires worthless human beings. They do nothing for the majority because their only interest is where they rank in the world of wealthy individuals.

Musk’s devotion to Trump and the extreme right is hurting him where it counts: his wallet. He continues to lose millions of dollars after he purchased Twitter, and now his primary business, Tesla, is experiencing a decline in sales.

[Tesla said that in 2024 it delivered 1.79 million cars, which was 1.1% below the 1.81 million cars the company sold in 2023. Back in 2022, Tesla confidently predicted that the company would grow 50% each year for the next few years. That didn’t happen as Musk went full MAGA.]

Musk ceased to show an interest in Tesla and became a political junkie. He did the same thing with Twitter, he renamed “X.” He is ignoring the fact that every vehicle manufacturer in the world is now invested in electric and hybrid vehicles. What Musk continues to ignore is the fact that some of his competitors are offering much more to their customers, often at a lower cost.

Mercedes Benz, BMW, and the big three American auto manufacturers retooled their factories with the focus on impressive electrical vehicles and longer-lasting batteries.

Someday this will become a movie. The story will be about a billionaire who ignored what made him successful and eventually loses his mind and most of his fortune.

Politics is undoubtedly the ugliest occupation composed of the ugliest people in the world. In my estimation, professional politicians are at the bottom of the food chain on the list of the worst professions in the world. If this is Musk’s ambition, he’s already halfway there.

I and other political writers, including the mainstream media, have begun labeling Musk the “co-president.” It appears to be accurate. Many of the decisions being made about the transition begin with Musk and are approved by the old, orange buffoon.

It is obvious to everyone that senility and dementia have taken greater control over Trump’s already low level of intelligence.

We know that between 2017 and 2021 Vladimir Putin was pulling Trump’s strings. It appears that in 2025 it will be a failing billionaire who possesses an unrealistic and inflated opinion of his own abilities.

If our government was dysfunctional before another Trump presidency, I do not want to imagine what it will be like over the next four years.
