The revenge of the elites on Elon Musk: don’t you vote Dem? I’ll kick you out of the green “Good Lounge”

In the end, the world of democratic elites and their “good, good and green” money is a small club that you can easily get kicked out of if you don't blindly and absolutely obey their recommendations, no matter how much money you have. Elon Musk, quite exhausted from personal attacks on him by the Democrats, made it clear on Monday that if he had previously voted Democrat, he would now have voted Republican.

The reason is simple: in the US, as in Europe, the Dem party has become one of hatred and division. After all, the various racial policies, those of "Historical cancellation", of exclusion attempted by this political party in the USA, but also in Europe (just think of the policy of true hatred unleashed by certain media towards those who were simply skeptical about vaccines) are under for all to see.

Inside is Procter & Gamble, there is Amazon, which from a social point of view is quite controversial, but there is no Tesla. Among other things, as an index it will be socially good, but it does not have a particular profitability, having had the same profitability as the normal Sp500 …

That is, it lost 6% in one year. being green costs…. In one year the S & P500 “Energy” sub-index, with oil companies inside, grew by 53%, but they are ugly, dirty and bad. I'm sure you all prefer to lose 6% and be praised by those celebrating in Davos rather than gain 53% …

This was the big punishment, then there were the scattered looting: for example in Corriere, which, with its typical parlor nonchalance, passed the accusations for alleged harassment of an employee to a conviction for abuse, without being not even passed the court. The Courier can …

(But who is the assistant of VOLTO? A Makke Up Artist?)

What does this story teach? That freedom costs, even in terms of money. Would you be ready to pay the price?
