Elon Musk has moved away from Trump's administration, though still claiming to be one of his advisers. I thought Musk was telling the world he will now be concentrating 100% on Tesla. These two toddlers honestly cannot get together, each with different agendas.
Elon Musk lost big in his dabbling in Trump's political minefield. US$250 million support for Trump's campaign, plus Tesla's big fall is a big sacrifice for nothing. On top of that Musk had been caught in a cold war among the sycophants in Trump's administration. Oh no, that is a conspiracy theory, as there is no such thing as it is not disclosed by the MSM.
Trump's plan to shaft his tariffs down the throat of those not scampering quickly to Washington to kiss his arse clearly shows that many countries are just ignoring his call. Branding countries needing to negotiate as 'arse kissers' is putting off those still left with a little bit of self-respect in the eyes of the world. Only sycophants, ground crawlers and cronies have answered the call, and I think hardly more than half a handful. We can guess who those arse kissers are, don't we?

Some are saying that Elon Musk is going to benefit from Trump's 'Golden Dome' boast that will enable Musk to recover his expensive losses. Whether Elon Musk will be given the lion's share of the project, still only built in the air, is doubtful. The mounting failure of Musk's SpaceX rockets are putting Musk in a fix. With Boeing also equally mired in failures and NASA needing a boost from both, innovation is failing the USA. As they say, necessity if the mother of invention. Take away the necessity to compete with others and innovation falls flat.
ReplyDeleteElon Musk's SpaceX Starship has three consecutive launch failures of his rockets designed to send a touted 100-ton payload into space, with launch 9 just exploding. The failures came even without even carrying the payload such launches were projected to carry, with only a fraction of the load in those test launches. The problem appears to be related to the rockets not providing the required thrust. Anyway, I am no space expert and am only repeating what the experts are saying.
The other reason why Elon Musk has categorically lost his influence with Trump has just been shown by Trump withdrawing Musk ally as nominee for the top NASA job. That is a clear indication of the fallout between the two toddlers. I believe those failures of SpaceX Starship has much to do with Trump's decision.
Elon Musk is now mired in so many controversies, including his drug addiction. True or not is left to be seen. This shows that no human, no matter how powerful, are infallible and no amount of exceptionalism is going to help. Man proposes and God still disposes. Nobody can run away from that.
MAGA means 'Make America Go Away' folks.
ReplyDeleteThere is a new term coined - 'TACO' for Trump which I think means 'Trump Always Chicken Out".
Elon Musk has been continuously giving free fireworks display the past few years. And it's not any festive occasion. On the other hand Xi is very stingy with no free fireworks display from him.
ReplyDeleteWhat hits Elon Musk is not just a drizzle, but a perfect storm.
