On Thursday of this week right-wing influencer and billionaire Elon Musk took time out from his constant battle to keep the proletariat from unionizing Tesla to watch another of his companies, SpaceX. launch a massive "Starship" rocket into space - and this time, the third attempt, it actually worked! Starship, the largest rocket ever built (standing at nearly 400 feet), launched successfully and made its way into orbit, but was lost during reentry. The flight was still regarded as a success though, especially since the rockets on the first two attempts last year had exploded shortly after takeoff.
But Elon's week was not over. On Friday he focused on another of his business ventures, X, formerly known as Twitter, and managed to get involved in the current gang violence and government chaos in Haiti. Musk, in what some see as an attempt to stem the flow of non-white asylum seekers to the United States, posted a tweet that purported to show cannibalism being committed by some of the Haitian gang members. The video was unverified and X decided that it was likely based on misinformation and took it down - even though it had been posted by the boss!
(It turns out that the same video had been posted on social media two years earlier, well before the current civil unrest in Haiti.)
It's the weekend now, so perhaps Elon can focus on the things in life that give him pleasure, like spending quality time with his three ex-wives and eleven children. He can get back to the grind of trying to control the world on Monday.
