Exceptional. But Read The Fine Print
If the American exceptionalism narrative vis-à-vis markets feels exhausted -- ad nauseam -- to you
Referring to this and your weekly, we can only hope that the ongoing takeover by Musk and Theil & his accolades are thwarted by Trump’s petulant ego. That’s mighty comforting, aint it?
Yeah, but I’m starting to wonder if Musk is transcending traditional definitions/roles of/for oligarchs. He’s turning into something out of a science fiction movie where, you know, he’s a Wizard of Oz-type or Jeff Goldblum’s character in Thor: Ragnarok
He has moved beyond simple wealth accumulation and/or the confirmation of his genius that may bring. It looks like he believes that he alone can rid the world of stupidity?
Come on Donald, do you really want to be ridiculed as Elon’s butt boy?
Elon wants to rule mars, the Dems wouldn’t make it easy, but trump will
Elon wants to rid the world of stupidity?!??!! The first task will prove to be the hardest — how to remove it from that stubborn mirror??
I am so glad my nerd friend group talked me into watching that movie. It’s so perfect. For one thing, Taika Waititi is a comedic genius. The whole thing is just hilarious. I was not expecting that. Then as a bonus, I get to watch Anthony Hopkins chewing on the scenery. Such a gifted actor in such a cheesy movie, it’s chef’s kiss emoji.
If the Musk and Trump bromance makes it to next fall it would be a shock.

I’ve told several friends that I set the over/under at Valentines Day. Have not booked any bets yet but there are some who are considering.
It appears to be a contest between Trump and Musk for the dumbest most egotistical statement of the year 2024 . More to come next year .
To me, Elon Musk has always been one of these villain in old James Bond movies. The one that felt so unrealistic with their wealth, technological advance, or army of foot soldiers apparently ready to die for their nationless leader. EM is actually even more powerful than these unrealistic fictions. What a world!
