Too Long; Didn't Read

Musk won’t decide who’s going to be the 47th President of the United States, but Trump will definitely decide who’s going to be the 48th President.

I actually planned and wanted to write a story about the Joker 2.0 movie, but as Elon Musk Xed himself, some memes/stories write themselves:


Tasteless X post by Elon Musk


So, here we are. The gloves are off, or it’s better to say, a mask is off.


This is not my first story about Elon Musk on HackerNoon. And, it’s not going to be the last. Elon Musk saying at the Butler Rally that this would be the ‘Last Election’ if Trump loses, is just like me writing that this is the most important story in tech history, and if it’s not the top story it’d be my last. So, let’s just chill. OK?


I look back and realize that my stories about Elon were more about profiling than writing. That’s why I’m not surprised at all.


Why did he do it? Who? Joaquin Phoenix or Elon Musk?


Joaquin ‘Commodus’ Phoenix pissed on his Oscar by appearing in Joker 2 for the money. “He was paid a whopping $20 million upfront.” Trump’s rally in Butler turned out to be a musical just like “Joker: Folie à Deux,” but Elon X Musk didn’t do it for the money. Once you have fuck-you-money, you don’t need money. Trump shared a nice and convenient story about his rich friend and how he helped him get a sit at the table of some prestigious restaurant or something by the power of his voice before making an intro for Elon before the Xtatic crowd in Butler.

No Trump. No Internet for Hurricane Helene victims. Am I right? Because He called Elon, and not the other way around.


Let’s say I’m being too harsh with the whole Starlink thing. The man who has once been bitten by the snake fears every piece of rope (Chinese proverb). I still remember what I wrote about Elon and a Ukrainian government official.



What I do not remember is how, when, and why Starlink in Ukraine got to a ‘now you see me, now you don't situation’. I mean, it’s a long way from “some” Ukrainian official and Kim Dotcom to Trump, isn’t it?



Nah, Elon, you ain’t damned, you’re just being pragmatic as always.




I can only imagine the MAGA MEGA “lengths” to which the small city of Bastrop would go to help the new X’s HQ.


Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Thus Spoke Musk, Per Aspera Ad Astra



I’m not an American, but I realize that Musk already has his own version of the “Plan B:”


So, my dear friends and readers in America, “if Trump is NOT elected,” pack your bags because you’re going to Mars. You are damned if he’s elected, you are damned if he’s not elected, so both Elon and I guess, you’re just damned.



People can lose their minds when they flip sides. I’m just sayin’.


“Within the context of American politics, Musk has said he supported Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, Hillary Clinton in 2016, Joe Biden in 2020, and Donald Trump in 2024.”


“Liz Cheney warns Trump will never leave office if he's elected president again. Asked if she believed Trump would try to stay in power forever, Cheney said, Absolutely.”



Hear, hear! Musk won’t decide who’s going to be the 47th President of the United States, but Trump will definitely decide who’s going to be the 48th President. Lemme give you a hint. He’s a huge LOTR fan and he read all of Asimov’s “Foundation” books.
