Once workers become detached from jobs or businesses detached from regular operation, recovery becomes much harder & longer . Just consider how much effort is spent finding a job or starting a business. All of that effort is evaporating #economy
And just like that, everyone stopped asking about the espionage allegations surrounding #JaredKushner, or how the Trump establishment keeps turning political power into private profit. Funny how fast a scandal disappears when the whole machine benefits from the silence.
ELON MUSK OFFERED TO BUY HIS FATHER A CAR. HOW ABOUT A JEEP? BUT HIS ANSWER SURPRISED EVERYONE... "I WANT SOMETHING DECENT. I WANT A BENTLEY" — ERROL MUSK
Vlad asks Errol a simple question: your son is worth almost half a trillion dollars. does he help the family?
Errol starts with "I don't really need help. I'm self-supporting"
then he tells the story anyway
Elon suggested buying him a car. the first idea was a Tesla. but shipping one to South Africa, in Errol's words, the price was "astronomical", and there's no service where he lives
so the family comes back with a practical option:
"why don't you get a Jeep or something?"
"I don't want a Jeep. I want something decent"
"so what do you want?"
"I want a Bentley"
"so Elon said: sure. Bentley"
there's a Bentley Flying Spur in his garage now. he hasn't even put the number plates on
and the car is the small part
according to Errol, the family company pays every single woman in the family a monthly income. married ones get "a little bit of help". his ex-wife gets a monthly income too
when his medical bills came to almost a million and insurance covered 600,000, they paid the gap
his summary: "if you ask them, they help you. it's as simple as that"
now remember who's talking
this is the father Elon publicly called "a terrible human being". the one he said had done "almost every crime you can possibly think of"
and he's driving a Bentley his son paid for
for the record: this is Errol's version, from Errol's interview. nobody in the family has confirmed the details
but it shows something about money at this level that nobody puts on a Forbes list
a half-trillion net worth isn't one person's money. it's a whole family's payroll. ex-wives, siblings, a father he barely speaks to, all running on one balance sheet
you can cut someone out of your life. at Elon's level, you can't really cut them out of your money
the richest man on earth can say no to his father. he just didn't say no to the Bentley
@lefkofsky seem like he can’t can’t stop selling his $TEM right before earning. Tells you everything you need t know and what’s gonna happen in few day.
🇺🇸Obama calls out Trump for using his time in office to cash in BILLIONS
"He has made billions of dollars while in office. Understand this has not been done in modern times and not a single Republican in Congress has done anything to hold him to account.”
At this point, nobody can keep count of whether Trump has cut more deals or dragged the U.S. into more conflicts.
