...and vice versa. I guess Elon's entitled to the lion's share of that commodity as well. But, to be fair, the lower his stock goes, the less "free" speech he should have!

Such a disgusting slimeball.

Musk's voting GOP just like his racist peeps. He'll feel right at home in Texas' new Apartheid, just like where he grew up.
