Yesterday the whole stock market dropped big-time. A survey showed that 25% of Twitter users were thinking about abandoning the platform.

The Musk story has not completely played out - it is too early to form a definitive opinion. He was born in South Africa and seems to prefer the State of Texas, which has attitudes like South Africa. Some Black and Brown workers have felt prejudiced against at his factories. He has said some pretty strange things on Twitter in the past. He used a Canadian passport belonging to his mother to help him enroll in a US University rather than his father's South African passport.
.........I can't say that Musk is absolutely bad. I can say that he is controversial and as such needs to be kept under observation. He seems too far right of center for my tastes. The bigger picture problem is that in the US the tax system is created by the rich and for the super-rich. They are draining the middle-class dry.

Since he was born in South Africa, he could NOT be President (like Arnold Schwarzenegger). Maybe Musk could be governor of Texas. Incidentally, he has about 7 children from different ladyfriends that he did NOT bother to marry. I suppose that he is ABOVE that - mundane does not suit him.

They all need guardrails like TV stations.

We can survive without the internet, but food....not so much.

There are a lot of food recalls. That's what small government gives you...........food poisoning! Small government is code for "let the small people suffer"!

Musk paid more taxes that 1000 villagers. Probably 10,000

Free speech don’t work that way. Go against the agenda get censored.

He was not born in the US so he is ineligible to become president of the US.
