Next thing you know, Musky will order staff to create entirely false tweets on official accounts and lock the accounts so the false tweets can't be deleted. He will burn that entire company to the ground to get TFG back in.

Which, if that worked, would be a spendy but powerful play for turning the US into a one party autocracy.

Benefits (for musk): He doesn't need to manipulate elections anymore

Hazards: He now needs to manipulate the new regime.

Also the one party autocracy is not popular and depends on fascist rhetoric, eventually a war to keep the social unrest manageable. That doesn't work long term, and Musk is a clear collaborator

TFG? The fucking ghoul?

At this point I'm convinced that Musk fully intends on world domination. The man is psychotic, he subscribes to the idea that we all live in a simulation and further that he's the only real player.

Him and Thiel are literally the people that all of the conservative NWO conspiracies worried about and somehow the conservatives are lining up to suck their dicks.

I hope some crackhead with the same beliefs as Musk who is just poor fucken shanks Musk, preferably with a triangle bayonet.

Because there's only thing worse than a new world order, and that's not being at the top of the new world order
