Elon, Billionaires, and the Common Man

Posted on by M.C. Atkins

Elon Musk is a force of nature.  That rare man that possesses enormous ability and energy, who appears to grasp the great forces of his times, and who manages to gain the trust of the Common Man and harness his unstoppable power.  Julius Caesar and Napoleon come to mind.

Elon also appears to be inspiring a whole new class of billionaires, namely anti-woke patriots who want to be loved by the Common Man as he is.  After all, to be loved by the mob must be intoxicating.  Just ask any movie star. 

A case in point is Great Britain’s tycoon Nick Candy who recently joined Nigel Farage’s Reform Party (akin to our Maga movement) as its treasurer. 

Unlike your billions, to serve the Common Man is to produce an actual legacy and it is how the very rich ought to conduct themselves.

I have six wee bairns who are all seventh-generation Henry County, Tennessee, and all from the same doe. It is the people of Henry County that I most want to reach but I am writing to Southerners generally. I am without credentials but rather dare to speak by the same authority as the little boy who cried 'The king has no clothes!' My core belief and starting point is that like everything, we humans have a nature, it is not so hard to understand, and to pretend that it is other than it is, is to jump off a cliff. Which is what we Americans have in fact done.
