A little good news from the shit show

Is it wrong to find joy in the misfortune of others? Absolutely. Unless one of the others happens to be Leon Musk. Then it’s fine. 

The precipitous slide in Tesla’s stock price, the recurring outages on X, the images of flaming and vandalized Cybertrucks: These are a few of my favorite things. Hey, sue me. Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the roses. 

The only thing that keeps me from breaking into actual song is knowing that even when Leon loses $100 billion, he remains the richest man in the world. And he still has the ear of the most powerful stupid man in the world, which grants him full access to the treasury of the most wealthy nation in the world. So no matter the vagaries of the market and public opinion, Leon needn’t cut back expenses any time soon. 

Also, Trump says he’s buying a Tesla as a show of support for this strange South African immigrant he’s put in charge. That should turn things around! But since it’s Trump, Leon should maybe get it in writing.
