Worth more than $200 billion, Musk might just accidentally leave a billion dollars in his pants pocket and run his trousers through the washing machine.<\/p>\n<p>And Musk is a busy \u2014 very busy \u2014 man. As the founder of Tesla, he\u2019s taking the world into the era of electric cars. As founder of SpaceX, he\u2019s taking mankind to Mars (one day, maybe). And now he\u2019s \u2026 buying Twitter?<\/p>\n<p>Like all billionaires, Musk\u2019s ego is enormous. Even though he should have more than enough to do every day \u2014 and not a minute to spare for social media \u2014 Musk has been getting into Twitter spats with almost everyone, including Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Musk last week slammed Biden, saying he\u2019s not really in charge. \u201cThe real president is whoever controls the teleprompter,\u201d said Musk, who added that he has voted in the past \u201coverwhelmingly for Democrats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe path to power is the path to the teleprompter,\u201d he said. \u201cI do feel like if somebody were to accidentally lean on the teleprompter, it\u2019s going to be like Anchorman,\u201d the CEO added, referring to the 2004 film in which Will Ferrell\u2019s character Ron Burgundy will read whatever\u2019s on the teleprompter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis administration doesn\u2019t seem to get a lot done,\u201d Musk said on the \u201cAll-In\u201d podcast. \u201cThe Trump administration, leaving Trump aside, there were a lot of people in the administration who were effective at getting things done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musk also blasted the Democratic Party as \u201coverly controlled by the unions and by the trial lawyers, particularly the class-action lawyers.\u201d The party, he said, goes against \u201cthe interests of the people. In the case of Biden, he is simply too much captured by the unions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The billionaire also took aim at two-time loser Hillary Clinton, calling her campaign\u2019s 2016 allegations that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to alter to election outcome \u201ca Clinton campaign hoax for which their campaign lawyer is undergoing a criminal trial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, Musk said he has seemingly changed parties. \u201cIn the past, I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party,\u201d Musk tweeted. \u201cBut they have become the party of division &#038; hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And it didn\u2019t take long for that to happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA former flight attendant working on a contract basis in the cabin crew for SpaceX\u2019s corporate jet fleet accused Musk of exposing his erect penis to her, rubbing her leg without consent, and offering to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage,\u201d Fox News reported just a day later.<\/p>\n<p>The alleged incident took place in 2016. After the woman made the allegation to the company\u2019s human resources department and Musk, SpaceX paid a $250,000 severance to the woman in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Musk fired back, calling the initial report by Insider a \u201cpolitically motivated hit piece.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I were inclined to engage in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the first time in my entire 30-year career that it comes to light,\u201d he wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens \u2014 this is their standard (despicable) playbook \u2014 but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>The Insider report cited a \u201cfriend\u201d of the former attendant as the source, prompting Musk to tweet, \u201cthe \u2018friend\u2019 in question who gave the interview to BI is a far-left activist\/actress in LA with a major political axe to grind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The sex allegation also came after Musk defended Trump while again blasting Biden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though I think a less divisive candidate would be better in 2024, I still think Trump should be restored to Twitter,\u201d Musk tweeted, later adding: \u201cBiden\u2019s mistake is that he thinks he was elected to transform the country, but actually everyone just wanted less drama.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Banning Trump \u201cwas a mistake because it alienated a large part of the county, and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice,\u201d Musk said, adding that the decision was also \u201cmorally bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So now, Musk has a huge target on his back, with the Securities and Exchange Commission announcing a new probe. And it\u2019s all going to get worse, simply because Musk is dissing Biden and Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>But Musk is clearly a multitasker. He decided to buy Twitter in part because he didn\u2019t like how the platform was squelching free speech, and has vowed to return it to a forum featuring a free exchange of ideas.<\/p>\n<p>So liberals better tread lightly with Musk, or maybe he\u2019ll just decide to go into politics, run for president \u2014 and change everything. At a billion dollars per campaign, he can do so until<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Biden raised more than $1 billion from donors for his 2020 presidential campaign, the first candidate in history to do so.
