I hope they get the justice due to them

I am not a fan boy... I don't believe in Elon Musk rather the sum of his accomplishments

What goes around comes around

How quick is CNN to tie every issue to race, gender, LGBTQ+, etc.. Only to create division and destruction. Most corrupt name in News. elonmusk
