Watching Musk torment Fauci is a warning to all of us. Never mind why he’s doing it, it doesn’t matter. What matters is he’s doing it. Organizing insurrection aimed at random individuals and their families. When it’s your turn, there’s nowhere to run. Keep your head down little citizen. It doesn’t matter if you’re Speaker Pelosi or a highly respected medical man. He’s the man with all the power, you could be next.

Let’s file this in the “the told you so” file. If you are a regular reader, then you might remember I wrote about why Musk would want to buy Twitter. It gives him a bully pulpit. “He needs his bully pulpit to have enough people believe in his way of thinking so that hundreds of millions flow into his projects and thus enable his vision of the future,” I wrote. “It seems behind every tweet, there is an agenda.”
These days the agenda is to be viewed as the friend of the “reds” so he could sell them his cyber trucks, keep getting tax credits, and not get locked out of lucrative government contracts. P.T. Barnum would be so proud.
