QOTD: A Farewell To Harm

 

The Guardian's Marina Hyde writes a farewell to the South Afrikaner fascist and cheating druggie sociopath Elon "Leon" Musk from his botched mission to destroy the entire Federal Government: 

"Musk arrived in government promising to slash spending by $2tn. He leaves it a mere $1.86tn short of that target, even by his own estimations. Meanwhile, the president’s new tax bill is set to add $2.3tn to the deficit. I imagine Musk thought his government finale would be a spectacular extravaganza – “you’re welcome, Washington!” – involving 2,000 chainsaw-wielding chorus girls. Instead, it’s a tweet. And yes – we DO all still call them tweets.

Ironically, the thing that Musk has been most stunningly effective at slashing is his own reputation. Think about it. He arrived in Trump’s orbit as a somewhat mysterious man, widely regarded as a tech genius, and a titan of the age. He leaves it with vast numbers of people woken up to the fact he’s a weird and creepy breeding fetishist, who desperately pretends to be good at video games, and wasn’t remotely as key to Space X or Tesla’s engineering prowess as they’d vaguely thought. Also, with a number of them apparently convinced he had a botched penile implant. Rightly or wrongly convinced – sure. I’m just asking questions."  (our emphasis)

His warped, arrogant, reckless self-importance came out vividly in his cruel zeal to dispose of thousands of civil servants like so much used tissue paper (or "deleting" them, as he would put it).  The lasting images this real-life Bond villain has created for himself will be him joyfully waving a chainsaw and giving the Nazi salute. He's welcome to it and as bleak a future as possible.
