Elon Musk is the top 1% of Billionaires. Do the math. This-for-That-on-impulse Trump is secondary at best.
If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame.
You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way.
If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.

He has the entire GOP shaking in their boots they might get on his bad side and he'll send a wave of money at their opponent next election. There are no profiles of courage left in the GOP doing what's good for the country, all you have left is synchophants and suck ups. This will not end well.
What’s hilarious about this is that this is exactly how Musk operates. He buys the thing, then removes the creators or founders of said thing and sets himself up the inventor, founder, mastermind or genius behind the thing he just used his generational wealth to buy.
