Why has Elon Musk sent the Establishment into panic mode? — I’m always wary of people with a lot of money. I’m not talking about entrepreneurs who become multi-millionaires by starting a trendy clothing line or creating a cool app. I’m talking about the uber rich.

When a wealthy black man commits an act of violence in front of millions of people, his punishment is limited to light shaming — What happened at the Academy Awards on Sunday speaks to so much that’s going on in America now on so many levels.
