First, an act of foolishness or supremely daft idea. Second, in relation to buildings, a structure that’s ornamental and serves no practical purpose other than to indulge one’s ego.
Construction stopped when McCaig died in 1902 and his family challenged his will for further lavish building plans including a tower and statutes of himself and family members; it would seem they’d more practical plans for his money.Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter is a classic example of what happens when an ego goes unchecked and has no boundaries.
Add to this the fact Musk has spooked a lot of his big corporate advertisers including General Motors, Audi, United Airlines, Volkswagen and Eli Lilly, the big pharma company. With 15m votes cast it was 52% for reinstatement, with 48% against. An eerie echo to the disastrous UK Brexit voting result back in 2016.Yet, this was simply impressions and will likely include many of the same people coming back again and again to check the voting tally.The translation of this Latin phrase is “the voice of the people is the voice of God”. Now, there’s an ego out of control.
Of course, the finance deal was funded personally by Musk but also by a wide range of big financial investors, let the buyer beware might be a concept those investors are acquainted with soon. Trump is reminiscent of O Henry’s 1904 novel, Cabbages and Kings. A collection of stories set in the fictional banana republic of Anchuria – the book coined the term “banana republic”.
