KEY POINTS

Elon Musk said he would form a new political party called the “America Party.”

Tesla shares fell Monday after Musk’s announcement.

Tesla shareholders have wanted Musk to stay away from politics, especially after his stint at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which many have said damaged the automaker’s brand.

Can we skip to the good part where is 100% bankrupt and no other billionaire bails him out and he ends up being arrested by a rookie cop doing his first drug arrest as Elon nearly ODs on illegal street ketamine and literally no one in the legal system cares when he is given a life sentence?

I'd settle for "dies a 90 hour non-instrument rated private pilot flying the Beech Debonair he just bought VFR into IMC by slamming into a hillside trying to fly under a 300 foot ceiling."

But he wouldn't pass a 3rd class medical certificate, would he?

I have a message. Elon Musk’s plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan. It spun in. There were no survivors.
