Is Elon Musk heading on the same path as Kanye West? The two are known to be part of controversies and were former allies since Musk reinstated Ye’s account, but had to ban in back after a barrage of anti-Semitic comments. The entrepreneur purchased Twitter for $44 billion and made quite a few changes to the social media site.

Despite being the richest man in the world, he struggles to get a mass favor from the public. Even after having so many projects, he manages time to make random public appearances. In a recent one, the Tesla owner got up on the stage during Dave Chappelle’s show. Now, that along with other factors may lead him to lose a chunk of his wealth.

How Elon Musk may be walking the same path as Kanye West

Kanye West lost his billionaire status thanks to his controversial statements. Brands like Adidas, GAP, and Balenciaga ended their contract with him, halting a part of his incoming wealth. Now Musk may be following the same path. As per a source, his company Tesla is seeing a downfall in stocks and closed at $167 recently. A lot of time, stocks are a market of emotions. When an entity of a company suffers, so does the company and its stock value.

A lot of people protested against Musk’s opinion when he criticized Dr. Fauci on Twitter. Talking about him, he said, “My pronouns are Prosecute/ Fauci.” That comes as a taunt to both Fauci and people who prefer different pronouns. Dr. Fauci had a lot to say during the pandemic and urged people to wear masks as well as get vaccinated. Regardless, no repercussions seem to stop Musk from expressing his opinions in public.

While Musk has been an advocate for free speech, it has cost him a bit of the debate between the right to speech and the right to offend. As the viral video from Chappelle’s show spreads, it will be seen how the whole ordeal affects him and whether he will suffer the same fate as Kanye West.
