The lament of a modern Prometheus
In the vast expanse of wealth and time,
There lived a fool, in his prime,
Whose folly grew with every day,
A peddler mad, in disarray.
With all the riches one could dream,
He drifted far from wisdom's stream,
From genius hailed, to merchant mad,
A tragic shift, both sad and bad.
A submarine for children's plight,
He claimed would bring them to the light,
And called the brave "pedophiles" in scorn,
A move from which his name was torn.
He bought a company, price too steep,
A thousand percent, a foolish leap,
And sued another, claimed betrayal of kind,
When it was jealousy that clouded his mind.
No greater fool our age has seen,
With power vast, and pockets green,
His daily follies, a constant stream,
In search of attention, his endless dream.
Yet one day, they'll speak of him with grace,
As time conceals the fool's embrace,
But remember, as we recall the dead,
The foolish paths, where once they led.
Oh Elon, one must be profoundly foolish to transition from a status of "revolutionary genius" to that of a "mad peddler" despite possessing all the wealth in the world. We are discussing a truly unparalleled individual, a textbook idiot, an egomaniac who embodies the traits of a perfect fool: intellectually deficient, arrogant, and craving attention.
There is no ridiculous scenario he cannot create or exacerbate; from suggesting a submarine for a child rescue operation and labeling the rescuers "pedophiles," to purchasing a company at a 1000% markup by mistake, or even suing a company for "betraying humanity"...when there is clear evidence that his only grievance was that it was others who had allegedly committed the betrayal.
There is no greater fool in our generation, for his capacity to act foolishly seems almost unlimited, as are his resources to sustain his daily nonsense. And I am certain that one day, he will be spoken of in glowing terms (aside from the current praise he receives from a horde of mindless followers), but this will be no different from the positive things said about any deceased person.
