Running out of companies to own, Elon Musk is moving on to countries. First up: Saudi Arabia, absorbed for a mere $2 trillion in Dogecoin.
Musk’s first royal decree: a rebranding. Saudi Arabia is now ArabX. Google Maps and Apple Maps have already embraced the change. The Persian Gulf, recently renamed Arabian Gulf by President Trump, has been re-renamed the Gulf of X.
Philosophically, Musk sees ArabX as prototype Martian community. A place where he can experiment with new technologies, cure the woke virus and bend social discourse to his will. “This is going to be the coolest country ever,” he said, laying out his vision.
Camels are out, Cybercamels are in. Test models have already been spotted in the wild, with only a handful of fatal accidents reported.
Turning streams of pilgrims into streams of revenue, Hyperloop trains will get worshippers to Mecca fast.
Most important, ArabX will be the first nation to institute “free speech government,” using X as its foundation. New laws will be determined by X polls. Registering to vote is as simple as putting a heart on any post from Musk.
But free speech has its limits. Musk warns that lawbreakers will be punished without mercy. Anyone referring to ArabX by its old name will be arrested and marched into a public square—where their X account will be summarily suspended.
