Love him or mute him, you cannot look away from Elon Musk. He is the richest man on the planet, firing rockets into orbit before lunch and picking internet fights by tea time. He built an empire on sleek electric cars and dreams of colonising Mars, but these days he treats the entire culture like his personal playground.
It started when he cashed out of PayPal and gambled every penny on Tesla and SpaceX. Now? He owns the digital town square, renamed Twitter to X, and turned late-night posting into an extreme sport. Every move starts a fire, and let's be honest, he wouldn't have it any other way.
