How did they describe him at the Nuremberg, I mean Madison Square Rally?
“The greatest capitalist in the history of the United States of America.”
The adoration, the lack of historical knowledge and the phrasing says it all, really.

I find TPM’s take to be disturbingly plausible; it really is worse than it seems, and it’s going to get ugly:
Trump is following. He’s trying to pretend otherwise but he’s following. And unlike all of Trump’s other bad hires or hires he gets tired of, he can’t just shitcan Musk like all the rest. Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollars. He’s got a bigger megaphone. And he’s got his own brand. I’m pretty sure there will eventually be a really big and really ugly falling out between the two of them. But it will take a while to get there and the costs are potentially quite large for both of them.

I’ve been trying to tell people around me that he is the most dangerous person on the planet for a long time now, and not just due to his wealth. All of his industries and his love of sci-fi dystopias/villains in those stories combined with his connection to the incoming administration really worries me for the future.
That the person who had xitter’s algorithm altered when someone else got more likes than he did is in charge of the brain chips (that horrifically injured the primates tested on), and has an open disregard for regulations has this support is one of the things that makes me feel sick to my stomach when I think about what the future holds. People around me think I’m over-reacting, but all the things that the husk has his hands in combined with what Project 2025 wants to do really concerns me for what’s in store.
I’m glad to be someone fascists want dead, you couldn’t give me a higher compliment, and I look forward to furthering that by standing against them; but when I think of what is to come in the immediate future I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sadness.

Trump is literally dying in front of our eyes. He’s a husk. It’s already been elder abuse. Iirc what led to the extremity of the great depression was the sheer economic rape that occured in the power vacuum of a weak and corrupt government. Trump is weak and corrupt. We have a puppet president controlled by foreign powers who have absolutely no interest in the welfare of the people in the US.
Trump can’t do anything. He shits like a tubeworm. He’s basically a walking corpse. Elmo is gonna weekend at Bernie’s the whole country unless the goddamned army stops him or something and that isn’t likely.
Some one convince me otherwise please?

And I suspect even their falling out will somehow end up being ugly for the rest of us. I don’t know how, but I believe they’re export the misery somehow.
I think you’re right, unfortunately, except Elno won’t be the only billionaire running things through Trump.
