kunstler seems to hit the target on a regular basis;
It seems unfair that the earnest polymath Elon Musk should go broke
in the electric car business while Kylie Jenner becomes a billionaire at
age 20 hawking lip gloss on Snapchat, but that’s how the American Dream
rolls these late days of empire. Perhaps the lesson here, for all you
MBA wannabes, is that Mr. Musk could switch his production facilities
from cars to lip gloss. Of course, to successfully market his new line
of cosmetics on social media, Elon might have to consider sexual
“reassignment” surgery — unless he could persuade American men via
Facebook and Twitter, that lip enhancement boosts male self-esteem
almost as much as the purchase of a Ford F-450 pickup truck at a
laughable fraction of the cost.
Which raises an interesting question: if President Donald Trump’s
most winning personal feature is that magnificent golden hair-do, why
doesn’t he (or his family) get out of the pain-in-the-ass hotel
business, with all its construction and maintenance issues and dirty
sheets, and just put out shampoo? He is obviously adept at Twitter
marketing and surely scores high in global brand recognition.
