      Sure, here’s a sci-fi space-themed country song:

      “Stars in My Whiskey”

      (Verse 1) Out here on the edge of the galaxy’s arm, In my rusted spaceship, away from the farm. I’m missing that old Earth, its green and its blue, But the stars out here sparkle like morning dew.

      (Chorus) I’ve got stars in my whiskey, and tears in my eye, Drifting through the cosmos, under the infinite sky. Missing my home, where the red rivers flow, Out here in the stars, with nowhere to go.

      (Verse 2) I dance with comets, race with the moon, Sing to the void, out of tune. I dream of cornfields and that sweet country song, But the universe is vast, and the nights are long.

      (Chorus) Stars in my whiskey, a heart full of ache, Wandering the heavens, for my old love’s sake. Under the glow of the distant sun’s light, I’m a space cowboy, lost in the night.

      (Bridge) Met a Martian girl with eyes like fire, She mended my heart, filled me with desire. But Earth’s sweet memories, they call me back, To the old wooden porch, the long dirt track.

      (Chorus) With stars in my whiskey, and dreams in my head, I think of Earth as I float in my bed. The galaxy’s wide, but my heart’s still there, In the sweet country air, without a care.

      (Outro) So I’ll keep drifting, with my space-bound blues, Chasing the horizon, in my rocket shoes. But no matter how far, or where I roam, My country heart still calls for home.

    He’d be pretty happy about the space ship blowing up though. If it had crashed into the launch pad or something on takeoff, then it would definitely count.

    Here’s a better one:

    Title: Cosmic Blues on a Starry Trail

    (Verse 1)
    Out on the edge of the Milky Way’s glow,
    Lived a billionaire with a heart turned to stone.
    Forty billion stars in his name,
    But in the cosmic dust, they just faded away.

    (Chorus)
    He lost his love, his kids, his dreams,
    In the black hole where his heart used to be.
    A spaceship crashed, a fortune gone,
    Now he’s singing this lonesome interstellar song.

    (Verse 2)
    He built his dreams on Martian sands,
    A titan’s castle in the stars’ expanse.
    But what’s a kingdom with no queen or heir?
    Just a lonely throne in the cold, silent air.

    (Chorus)
    He lost his love, his kids, his dreams,
    In the black hole where his heart used to be.
    A spaceship crashed, a fortune gone,
    Now he’s singing this lonesome interstellar song.

    (Bridge)
    Under the glow of a distant sun,
    He wonders what he’s really won.
    Forty billion stars don’t shine,
    Like the love he lost in another time.

    (Verse 3)
    In the taverns of a spaceport town,
    He drinks to memories that swirl around.
    A family photo, a fading trace,
    Of the life that vanished in space.

    (Chorus)
    He lost his love, his kids, his dreams,
    In the black hole where his heart used to be.
    A spaceship crashed, a fortune gone,
    Now he’s singing this lonesome interstellar song.

    (Outro)
    So here’s to the man with everything,
    Whose tears are hidden beneath his wings.
    In the silence of space, he’s left to roam,
    A billionaire wandering far from home.

    He’s a successful scammer, for sure, but at the end of the day still a scammer who got fired for incompetence and then got lucky.

        A scammer who used his money he made through scamming to become CEO, and then to scam even more:

        • Scams his employees by paying too little or not at all

        • Scams his money lenders by breaking their investment

        • Scams his customers by asking premium prices for underperforming products

        • Scams governments out of funding

        • Scams new tech startups by suing them in order to be called a founder

        • Scams every person in every country his companies operate in by not paying the taxes he is owed

        He spent a bunch of dough on that hair. I believe he is likely aware of his appearance. He is pale and overweight because he spends a bunch of time playing video games, being a nazi in his failing social media site, and (based on this picture) eating french fries.

        Maybe at some point his vanity will compel him to get liposuction or just go full orange man with spray tan and wear baggy suits with ties that are too long. I don’t see him being like Bezos or Zuck and getting into shape.
