Musk: A Millionaire, A Billionaire, Now A Potential Trillionaire.

Musk: Madman or Messiah?

Elon Musk.

What can one say about Elon Musk that has not already been written? A billionaire of our time, one amongst many, but Musk's name stands out above all. The owner of the successful Tesla car company, owner of a satellite company, SpaceX, in which Musk one day wants to settle on Mars and even die there. Some have even wondered if he is a Martian, and he hasn't exactly denied it. We have seen Musk venture into politics. When he was briefly the Head of Doge, he ensured money wasn't wasted in government. On such things as promoting the LGBTQ agenda and worthless things that aggravate the right and many ordinary folk.

However, Musk, who had helped Trump into power, fell out big time. Musk left the government and set up his own party, the America Party. Musk himself cannot run to be president, as he is a South African, even though he is a US citizen. But wait, though, there is an inconsistency here? Zohran Mamdani has just been elected Mayor of New York, and yet he was born in Uganda and is of Indan origin. Am I missing something here, folks?

How can Mamdani, a foreign-born American, become mayor of New York? Now Musk is also a foreign-born American from South Africa with English, nay Liverpudlian, roots, yet he cannot stand for president. There was even talk of Mamdani running for POTUS, and yet Musk can't!! Both foreign-born men and Mamdani can run for POTUS, and Musk can't? Enlighten me, someone out there. Am I missing something? Last time I checked, you had to be born in the US or in US territories to run for the top job. Neither Mamdani nor Musk are American by birth, and yet Mamdani can be mayor or president and Musk can't?

Shareholders in Tesla have voted to give Musk a whopping pay rise. And when I say whopping, I mean massive, humongous. In Pounds Sterling, this pay rise is wait for it £761,910,000,000. In US Dollars, that is $1 trillion, a sum most of us mere mortals can only imagine. Is that not totally and awfully immoral in a world where half of us are starving and the rest live in luxury? Musk is already worth, according to Sky News $491 billion. Imagine what Musk could do for the planet based on his worth alone?

Let's dig into what exactly this payout to Musk could potentially buy with that $1 trillion. Musk could buy up the English Premier League, the German Bundesliga, and other major European football/soccer leagues. If Musk wanted, he could give every man, woman, and child a share in this massive fortune.

This amount of money could cover much of the Earth's circumference. It could cover nations like Jamaica or Lebanon from end to end. That is an impossible vision when you try to imagine the above in your mind. The question that has to be asked is whether Musk is selfish, innovative, revolutionary, good, evil, a genius, or a madman? Musk could be called all of those and more. While Musk is being hated or loved, he doesn't care; he's laughing all the way to the bank.

One has to ask how men like Musk have arisen. Where did they get such ideas to create such things in so short a period? It's like Musk appeared out of nowhere, and everything just magically fell into place for him. To be able to gather such a fortune, to invent such things as he has, is the man just fortunate, or is there something else going on here?

I will propose something that I know is a bit "woo woo", but bear with me. What if Musk actually is a Martian, a man sent here or born here to save his planet? Much like David Bowie's character in the movie "The Man Who Fell to Earth".
