Must Read The end of Elon

Image
  Perched on the elevated platform of his grandiose project, the billionaire renowned for captivating a fervent following through extraordinary engineering and unwavering determination appeared notably diminished. Elon Musk oversaw the initial deliveries of a Tesla truck, a venture that, akin to much under his influence, exceeded both budget and initial shipping projections. Adding to the narrative, Musk's recent public dismissal of advertising partners only compounded the already bleak fate of another of his enterprises. Characterizing him as visibly diminished is an understatement. The Cybertruck launch, aligning with Tesla's delivery events, lacked substance. Colleagues with greater patience have effectively detailed the proceedings. Musk extolled the virtues of his extravagant stainless steel creation before demonstrating the non-obvious method to open its doors, followed by enigmatic statements about its future presence on roads. While I previously highlighted Musk's p...

The 33-year-old musician reportedly declined an offer to perform at the coronation concert on May 7th, as she was engaged in her Eras Tour in Nashville during that period. Swift wasn't the sole high-profile artist to turn down the invitation - Elton John, Spice Girls, Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, and Adele also reportedly refused. Organizing a concert lineup was described as a challenge, yet Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, Andrea Bocelli, and Take That performed at the London event. The reporter highlighted the deeper implications of these refusals, citing the perceived lack of gravitas around King Charles III. While Perry and Richie expressed excitement and awe at being part of this historic event, the refusals sparked discussions about celebrity involvement in such ceremonies.
