Your comments bring two thoughts to mind. One, Musk would really like to become president; fortunately, he wasn't born in this country.

Two, I can't help thinking that we are reliving the period of the robber barons when such entities as inter-locking directorates and monopolistic companies became the norm in the late 19th and early 2oth centuries. Musk and a few others seem bent on taking control of far too many companies (media and otherwise). Where is a Teddy Roosevelt to combat such actions?

Love your financial acumen but hate your politics. Think you would do well to stick what you're good at and leave political opinions to those in the know!

Hi Fred, Not sure you know my politics. I don't have any. Please read my book (at kotlikoff.net) called You're Hired. It's a free download. As for this piece on Musk, it's not political to say the guy needs to behave like an adult and that he can easily lead Twitter down the tubes if he keeps emitting stupid/awful/ridiculous tweets. In any case, just read me for the economics and ignore the rest. best, Larry
