This guy needs to be made an example of when we’re done with this flirting-with-fascism phase. It’s a blessing these men are all absolute morons who were born into their stature and wealth and do not have the ability to re-make the government into project 2025 or whatever they’re going for. They’ll try; but we’ll try harder. Don’t lose faith in the government or institutions that 100k’s of us work for, that is their primary goal. Billionaires like Elon want to have an uncontrolled ability to buy anything, even the sovereignty of the state. They won’t come close. Avoid doomerism and keep your heads up

As always, when actual fascism arrives, suddenly the populace sobers up to the cancer that’s festered within.
