Summary
Elon Musk has emerged as a key enforcer of Donald Trump’s agenda, warning Republicans against opposing Trump’s policies and Cabinet picks.
Musk’s political action committee, America PAC, played a significant role in Trump’s election victory, spending heavily in swing states and funding groups like RBG PAC to broaden voter appeal.
Musk has hinted at funding primary challenges against GOP lawmakers who resist Trump, creating a “naughty and nice list” with ally Vivek Ramaswamy.
With allies in Trump’s administration and influence through his platform X, Musk’s political clout is growing rapidly.
That’s a true nightmare, when the oligarchs finally don’t have to suffer the indignity of death like the common rabble. It’s the only great equalizer we have left.
Eh I dunno. I like to imagine some hackers could find a way to pull a “Black Mirror” and trap their consciousness in a virtual prison for all eternity.
Their lives sure must be fantastic for them to want to live that way for eternity.
On a physical level they sure are. Having obscene wealth means you want for nothing in that regard. Mentally it’s another matter. Money only buys happiness to a certain point - you don’t even need a million a year to reach maximum happiness. Anything over that doesn’t make things any better.
