New Year’s Day, 2024, Elon Musk’s total wealth is at $253 billion, or more, making him the richest man on Earth. Two years ago he bought Twitter for $44 billion, when it’s actual value was about $25 billion, giving him a net worth of $195 billion and today the social network platform is considered to be worth about $19 billion. So he lost $25 billion in two years and yet is worth $58 billion more than he was two years ago. This has gained my rapt attention. What is he up to?
Mr. Musk has his fingers in many pies. He owns not just Tesla Motors and SpaceX, but also The Boring Company, which digs tunnels, OpenAI, Starlink, Neuralink, Hyperloop, Solar City, XCorp………. This isn’t counting the 8 or 9 other companies Elon created, such as PayPal, and sold to Google and other corporations.
He’s now 52 years old and still creating. He’s building spaceships to start a moon colony and a Mars colony. He’s created a reusable rocket with a guidance system that can land a rocket from space on a platform floating on the ocean with a bullseye painted on it, and hit it dead center. He’s steadily expanding Starlink, a satellite Internet provider, putting his own satellites into orbit using his own rockets. His Artificial Intelligence development has just broken through to human cognizant level.
While billionaires like George Soros are spending their money to rip global society apart and destroy the peace and civility of nations, Elon Musk is seeking ways to advance humanity.
He was forced by the steadily increasing taxes and regulations of Globalist California to move the Tesla company to Texas, which may be why some in the Uniparty are now attacking him through Tesla, and his returning of Freedom of Speech to Twitter – X has also upset our government. There looks to be a growing conflict between Saints and Monsters, as in my previous post.
In Greek mythology, the mighty god Atlas carries the world on his shoulders and all would perish if he were to drop it.
If you have not read Ayn Rand’s book “Atlas Shrugged”, by all means do so. It belongs on your bookshelf next to “1984” and “Animal Farm”.
