Elon is not pleased;Susan Crawford wins Wisconsin S.C race - Lilith7 - 02-04-2025
Elon Musk apparently spent millions on opposing her but Susan Crawford has won a seat on Wisconsin Supreme Court, which gives Liberals a narrow majority. They'll now have a 4-3 majority, which could prove crucial if it decides cases about abortion, Unions & bargaining rights.

There has been a lot of smug clamour over Elon's net worth supposedly tanking, however the truth is that there was just a partial correction to the crazy spike he experienced post-election, followed by a "back to normal service" steady increase.
On November 5th, his net worth was US$251B, it peaked at US$480B in mid-December after which it dropped for a bit, and it is now at $US387B and climbing (increased by US$6B yesterday and another US$8B today, according to Forbes).
Despite what the Democrats, and their supporters, would desperately love to be true, I don't think Elon/Tesla share price is actually suffering as a result of his political involvement. Instead, the market just got a bit too carried away in the post election hype, that hype has now been corrected, and we're back to a steady increase.

We are, are we? Whoopee!
I'll tell Robert Reich who is currently on my youtube screen explaining a few tax truths about the US to whoever will watch. I recommend it, he is very entertaining. And has done the research.

Since when has it been 'smug' to comment that someone who gives every impression of being unable to muster even a shred of empathy for others has, thanks to his own actions, lost some of his pathetically vast fortune...

Which he would be unable to spend in this lifetime even if he wanted to. That is simply the definition of insanity.

It's the Trickle Down in action - and some say it doesn't work.
