The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus
Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.

Beware, Mr. Armie Hammer. Elon Musk has made you and the anti-immigrant movie CITIZEN VIGILANTE available to millions on X. He has given rocket fuel to your personal comeback. But Elon’s motive is pushing fascist bigotry. Do not let Elon use you to promote that. Rockets can come crashing down.
