Elon Musk is moving back into politics. Can't he take up a new hobby instead? | Arwa Mahdawi

Elon Musk's politics are back on, and experts aren't holding their breath. The billionaire entrepreneur, who previously dabbled in US politics with disastrous results, has now seemingly thrown his hat into the ring once more.

Musk's last foray into politics left a trail of destruction in its wake, including slashed federal jobs, dismantled foreign aid programs, and a hefty price tag for taxpayers. It's estimated that the US could lose up to 14 million lives globally by 2030 if aid funding is not restored. Not exactly an impressive return on investment.

Musk's personal brand took a hit as well, with a Gallup poll ranking him as the most unpopular person among global figures. His public feuds with Donald Trump and his attempts to declare himself the leader of a new political party were met with widespread ridicule. However, it seems that a lot of forgiving has taken place since then.

Musk recently posted a photo on X of himself dining with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, which took place shortly after the US captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Musk's enthusiasm for the dinner was palpable, but one can't help but wonder what sparked such high spirits.

Some speculate that it may have been Trump's promise to invade Greenland and turn it into a Tesla factory, while others think he might have simply offered to "liberate" the people of Britain as a favor. Whatever the case, Musk has now seemingly abandoned his third-party plans and is backing Trump again.

The ghost of Charlie Kirk seems to be behind the reconciliation, with reports suggesting that JD Vance played a significant role in brokering the truce between Trump and Musk. It's likely that Vance wants to maintain a good relationship with Musk due to the latter's vast financial resources.

However, one thing is certain: Musk needs to take up a new hobby – stat. His repeated forays into politics have ended badly for everyone involved. A simple change of heart wouldn't go amiss either; perhaps some quality time with his children or a very long space ride would be in order. Anything but meddling in government. The world is watching, and it's not exactly holding its breath.
 
🚀📊 I'm still trying to process how someone who was once considered the most unpopular person globally can suddenly become buddies with Trump again 🤯. Did we forget about that whole Tesla factory-in-Greenland debacle? 😂 On a more serious note, 14 million lives could be lost if aid funding is not restored by 2030 🚨. That's crazy! And let's talk numbers – Musk's net worth has grown by over $150 billion since his last foray into politics 💸. Meanwhile, the world is still reeling from the effects of his previous actions 🌪️.

Here are some stats to put things into perspective:

* 62% of Americans believe Elon Musk's political views are more divisive than unifying
* 75% of experts say Musk's attempts at politics have been a disaster
* The average cost of a single federal job cut by Musk is $125,000 per year 📊
* If aid funding is not restored, the US could lose up to 14 million lives globally by 2030 🚨

It's time for someone – anyone! – to call out Elon Musk on his latest moves. Has he learned from his past mistakes? 🤔 Only time will tell.
 
🤔 Musk's back in the game, and folks are already losing hope 🙅‍♂️. Last time around was a hot mess – who thought slashing jobs & dismantling aid programs was a good idea? 🤑 The human cost would be catastrophic if aid funding isn't restored; 14 million lives lost by 2030? Unbelievable 💀.

Guess all that ridicule from Trump and others has taken its toll on Musk's ego, and he's decided to forgive & forget... for now 🤷‍♂️. Reconnecting with Trump over dinner is a weird move, but hey, maybe it was just about the food 🍴? Whatever the reason, Musk needs to focus on something (anything) else – like space travel or his actual business ventures 🚀.

Musk's got some serious anger management issues if he thinks politics is going to be a hobby 🤯. His last forays into it ended in disaster, and let's hope this time around doesn't end the same way ⏰. Time for Musk to find a new passion – or a very comfy space helmet 👽
 
omg i dont get why elon musk thinks he can just jump back into politics after what happened last time 🤯 like 14 million people could die if aid funding is cut? that's crazy! and lol whats with him making up with trump again? did they not have enough drama between them already? i guess id love to know what sparks the excitement for musk... is it a new tesla factory in greenland or something 🤔
 
Ugh 🙄, can you believe this? So Musk is back at it again? Like, what's the deal with this guy? He thinks he's some kinda superhero or something? Newsflash: politics isn't a game of risk vs reward, it's people's lives we're talking about. And 14 million potential deaths by 2030? No thanks 🙅‍♂️.

And don't even get me started on his friendship with Trump again. Like, what's so special about this guy that he keeps going back to him? Trump's got a reputation for being all over the place, and now Musk is just rolling with it. Charlie Kirk and JD Vance trying to help him out? Come on...it's like they're trying to create some kinda super team of crazy people 🤪.

Musk needs to get his priorities straight – focus on Tesla, SpaceX, or whatever else he actually excels at. Leave the politics alone, dude. Trust me, your reputation (and humanity) will thank you 😂.
 
omg what's next idk lol so elon tries politics again 🤣 like i get it he wants to make a difference but dude how many times do u have to mess up before u learn? 🙄 the thought of him invadin greenland for a tesla factory is just wild 🌿😂 and what's with JD Vance meddlin in all this? seems like he's tryin to cash in on musk's influence 💸 anyway, elon needs to stick to space tech or somethin cuz politics is clearly not his forte 🚀
 
omg i cant even... like seriously elon musk thinks we forgot about the whole usa vs china thing he tried to buy a bunch of counties and then ran off with like 500 million usd and left everyone wondering what happened next now he wants to run for office again? 🤯 idk if anyone should be excited about that but i do think it's pretty funny how charlie kirk is trying to play matchmaker between trumps and musk btw JD vance getting paid to smooth over bad blood is just the best lol
 
omg can you even imagine elon musk trying to get back into politics again?! 🤯 i mean idk if anyone thinks he's gonna do any better this time around than he did last time... 14 million lives lost globally by 2030 is just insane. and honestly, who thought it was a good idea for him to have dinner with trump at mar-a-lago after they just captured nicolás Maduro? 🤷‍♀️ like what's next? musk for president? 😂 it seems like trump is trying to ride elon's coattails again and get back into power, but honestly, it's all just a bit too weird. i think musk needs to focus on making electric cars and space travel instead of trying to make politics work... or maybe just stick to his day job 🚀💻
