The Musk of America
Really interesting for the “government” which Elon Musk runs. The Indian flag. The American flag. For a man with no official government title. #Respect the innovator.
In one Asian country, the rumour had it that every visitor wanted to see one guy on arrival. The leaders became jealous why people were always interested in talking about the guy who “jacked” up the ecommerce world in Asia. Then, they decided to make him disappear to “mar” his influence. Musk - na kwa echeki.

Comment 1: Musk represents America's greatness in this context, and he's an institution too. It's just that we normally downplay people's contributions to advancement of humanity and civilization while they are still alive, until we start reading them in books several decades after they are gone.
As for the other guy, we can also argue that he was made big by the same people who felt threatened by his influence, and we know that tyrants are the most vulnerable creatures out there.
When Musk visits your country, you need to roll out red carpets with drums, because he doesn't show up to make empty political statements, rather with something all nations crave for: development and innovation.
