History is replete with examples of people who learned from their mistakes and changed their disastrous course. In fact, it is human nature to make mistakes. Only the wise, however, learn from such mistakes.
The world’s richest man thinks it’s unfair that people aren’t as interested in his products due to his far-right political views. Elon Musk took to the social media platform he owns Monday night to vent about his alleged mistreatment. But Musk had his own answer in mind. “Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls,” the Sieg heil!–waving billionaire wrote. Tesla shares continued to tumble on Monday as one of its Chinese competitors, BYD, unveiled a system that could charge electric vehicles for a range of 249 miles in just five minutes. Tesla comprises the majority of Musk’s net worth—but the carmaker’s ongoing eight-week slump is largely due to a global brand boycott. Company stock is down by 50 percent so far this year, and analysts have faulted Musk’s reputational shift for the automaker’s financial woes. “My companies make great products that people love and I’ve never physically hurt anyone,” Musk posted. “So why the hate and violence against me?” YAHOO FINANCE from THE NEW REPUBLIC.
At least Musk has enough sense to recognize the boycott of Tesla’s automobiles and the violence directed at dealerships re-targeting him. But does he have enough insight to understand that all of this pushback results from his ill-advised actions? Or is he simply too arrogant to know that these unwelcome developments are predictable consequences of his ineptitude?
In scripture, we are encouraged to change our evil course and reform our lives.
“Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.” Isaiah 55:6-7 (NKJV)
The answer is quite simple, Mr. Musk: You have perpetrated acts of hatred and violence against innocent people who have never done anything to hurt you. All they’ve done is gone to work in the service of the nation, and they’ve done so for many years. You rewarded them by throwing them out of their jobs. Depriving them and their families of income, financial security, and peace of mind. While claiming that what they were doing was fraudulent. Up to now, you’ve provided no evidence that such alleged fraud exists.
A teachable spirit and a humbleness to admit your ignorance or your mistake will save you a lot of pain. However, if you’re a person who knows it all, then you’ve got a lot of heavy-hearted experiences coming your way.”

“Many times what we perceive as an error or failure is actually a gift. And eventually we find that lessons learned from that discouraging experience prove to be of great worth.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway
“Living is a process of developing oneself. Without experiencing pain from disconcerting periods of our lives, we would be different person, perhaps a lesser person.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.” Galatians 6: 6-10 (NKJV).
Elon Musk took to his social media site X to claim that “terrorism” was the reason behind a series of Tesla car fires at one of his Las Vegas facilities Tuesday morning. The Tesla CEO’s one-word outcry came as a response to another post that showed a video of the cars ablaze at around 2:45 a.m. on Tuesday. Authorities have said that the fires were set intentionally, with the unnamed suspect using Molotov cocktails and at least one firearm, according to KTNV Las Vegas. It has not yet been confirmed how many people were involved in the incident. Las Vegas Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren stated that five vehicles were damaged and two were set ablaze in what he believes was an isolated, targeted attack.
Elon Musk, the billionaire adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, said: “The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.”
Mr. Musk’s fundamental weakness is that he lacks empathy. One reason for the French Revolution was that the poor had no bread and were on the verge of starvation. Widespread riots erupted in England after Mr. David Cameron’s election in 2011 because social services to the poor and needy were slashed. Does Elon Musk want to re-enact the mistakes of history in American cities? May God save us all from such a brutal dilemma.
- A budget plan in Congress would likely slash hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid, which provides health care coverage to 83 million people.
- Many of the Americans on Medicaid are low-income adults and children, seniors and people with disabilities.
- Medicaid covers a wide range of care, including 41% of births in the country, nursing home care for millions of seniors and medications for people with mental illnesses.
- Children are a large percentage of Medicaid recipients, and many disabled children have Medicaid for complex medical issues.
Health care coverage for millions of Americans is under threat if federal lawmakers move forward with proposed spending cuts.
House Republicans adopted a budget resolution that would require the committee that oversees Medicaid to come up with $880 billion in savings over the next 10 years. If that resolution passes the finish line, there’s no way for Congress to reach that number without significant cuts to the health program, the Congressional Budget Office confirmed in a letter Wednesday. 4:WASHINGTON: Medicaid: Who has it and what could happen if the feds make major cuts? By Gina Cook, March 7, 2025.
Mr. Elon Musk has been publicly vocal about his intentions to cut federal spending on the services provided by federal employees and decimate programs such as Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security. His arrogance is unbelievable. One would have thought that all the power he wields in the companies he owns and runs would have satisfied him. But apparently not. His lust for power is insatiable. His ultimate ambition is to run the country. Giving all of us a full demonstration of how he would upend and ruin people’s lives is exactly what he’s been doing for the last two months.
