And the ego continues to expand. Will there be a Musk 2030 campaign ramping up at some point? Will it be on the GQP ticket, or something more Ayn-ian?

Probably something more Ayn-al - after all, Christ, what an asshole!

No, he’s not originally from the US; so that ain’t gonna happen.

That’s a useful analogy. So if a dollar were a second, Musk’s taxes would be 350 years, taking us back to the golden age of the Spanish Empire. And his net wealth would be 85 centuries, taking us back to before there was a Spain or any countries or cities or wheels or writing.

He sure does seem fascinated by pedophilia. Almost a bit too fasinated. I wonder about that being his go to insult and put down. Almost a bit creepy.

He paid a pittance (for him) in one year. And paid that because it increased his wealth to exercise stock options that were expiring.
The man’s a goddamn saint. He should be canonized. For certain values of cannon.
