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.
