A Tale of Two Giants

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are both billionaires. They both are very intelligent, competent negotiators and visionaries. The above graph based on information provided by a Grok query show a major difference between their wealth: Trump’s is flat and Musk’s is on an upward trajectory unlike anything in the history of our planet.

Trump has sacrificed much to serve this country. Here is what Musk has sacrificed according to Grok:

Elon Musk lost approximately $113–151.5 billion in net worth from his peak of $486 billion in December 2024 to a low of $334.5 billion in June 2025, with $113 billion commonly cited for the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency. These losses are attributed to:

  • Tesla’s stock decline (33–45%) due to tariffs, competition, and public backlash against Musk’s DOGE role.
  • A $34 billion single-day loss during the June 5, 2025, Trump feud, part of a $26.7–100 billion loss by July 2025.
  • Protests and vandalism targeting Tesla due to Musk’s controversial DOGE actions.

To put it another way: Musk lost 18.8 times Trump’s current net worth supporting MAGA. And that does not include the cost to buy Twitter and save free speech. It doesn’t matter if Trump is jealous, envious or just plain arrogant. We should not be forced to choose between the lesser of two evils. We should not have to choose between two people who are trying to save the country. If I had to choose, the decision is simple.

Massie will receive tens of millions with zero help from Musk. 80,000,000 voted for principles, not big spending celebrities.

That is due to change once the Israeli coast is cleared for a string of luxury hotels and golf courses. How many Congo diamonds will find a new home? Any other piece deals coming? Pieces of eight that is. It always comes down to the booty doesn’t it. To the victor go the spoils… Sometimes you don’t even have to fight.
