Summary

Elon Musk’s fortunes have plummeted by $148 billion amid Tesla stock plunging nearly 50%, government protests, and setbacks at SpaceX and Starlink.

A White House event with Trump, meant to boost Tesla, instead highlighted Musk’s growing desperation.

Musk’s other ventures are also struggling—SpaceX rockets have exploded during tests and Starlink lost a Canadian contract.

His role leading DOGE is generating backlash, with Musk appearing increasingly defeated in public appearances.

His reputation, which previously weathered controversies, now faces unprecedented challenges due to his political alliance with Trump.

      Nope. Luigi is clearly innocent

      And turning off the sarcasm for a moment… They found a manifesto and a murder weapon at McDonald’s on a guy who dropped a backpack full of Monopoly money in central park? Then got away? He doesn’t even look that similar to the security cam videos… It’s too convenient, I have legitimate doubt

        Yes. Me too. I think they planted the gun to a random guy just to make rich people happy that the police is efficient in finding the culprit.

          Especially because they apparently improperly searched him, which could make it all inadmissable

          It’s amazing for quick everyone was to talk about him like he did it

          Like, he can get acquitted, do a press conference and say “guys the police tried to frame me. It really wasn’t me” and no one would believe him. People would go “riiiight” winking at him and doing finger guns
