MElon (MUSK, Elon) is a Trillionaire Like Penguins Are Mammals

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 14, 2026

At a post-inauguration rally, Elon Musk made a gesture compared with the Nazi salute

Have media outlets told the truth? Has MElon just become a trillionaire? Wait, the key question is, can a company that only loses money really be "worth" trillions? If the answer is no, then no... MElon is definitely not a trillionaire.

Many people already wrote rebuttals and debunkings, focusing on what some private (now public) company claims to be "worth".

We covered this last week in relation to slop companies that lose trillions of dollars while falsely claiming to be "worth" trillions.

The rebuttals we saw from some famous columnists correctly point out that MElon is just a "successful" scammer and a lot of his companies (remember "Boring", "xAI" etc.) deliver nothing and circle down the drain (even Tesla).

The corporate media needs to do a better job at reporting this, but remember it is owned by aspiring trillionaires who censor critics and call “more disciplined” a man-child who wants to have gladiators (UFC) doing a White House gig to celebrate 250 years of independence, sponsored by private companies.

The children run this asylum (White House) and the failing (fake) economy, which champions the dictator's friends/enablers. To these people, "the economy" is theirs only; everyone else is an instrument.
