A FLY ON THE WALL

‘Satire is traditionally the weapon of the powerless against the powerful.’ – Molly Ivins

El  no Tuskmusk to Mars on high, sigh …
rockets in his pockets, Spacex no wimpy latex
Earth’s too mundane, drives him simply insane
not enough lanes for Tesla’s electric cars, a pain 
this what a fly on the wall heard him tweet neat

His TBC Boring says humans are asleep, snoring
Starlink is soaring with Neurolink probing robotic chips in brains’ dips, humanoid robots devouring 
X’s bitter, Twitter as name was not enough for astounding fame, freaking wacky wealth game !

I loved this take on our 'bondgenoot', Musk. But it was a tight fit for the 10-line limit set. It would make a great Spoken word, Ghairo. He will go down in history as the guy who could have ended world hunger, but chose to buy Twitter instead.

Ok. ThkU for comment, Su. I counted lines on my device, but not on a counter. I have mixed feelings about him. We must admit he is a phenomenal visionary & how he goes down depends on who writes the history book. Xx.

Uh woah, lol. Kinda too much for me to grasp it all, but I know it's very well thought and probably borders genius, cool writing, Ghairo I might come back and try a hand at reading it again
