The richest man on Earth is setting himself up as dictator of the United States.
Excerpt:
“An unelected individual, whose sole qualification for office is spending about $44.2 billion on the last election—who is in fact ineligible to run for president—is making wildly illegal budget, staffing, and policy decisions throughout the government, and stacking federal agencies with his cronies who are all doing Watergate-grade crimes about 300 times per day. Most recently, they straight up stole $80 million in duly disbursed FEMA funds right out of New York City’s bank accounts.”
Excerpt:
“The danger is real. But that doesn’t mean Musk is guaranteed to win. The greatest difference between Stalin and DOGE is the speed at which everything is happening. Stalin was a monster, but he was also extremely clever and patient. It took him years of careful planning and intriguing to consolidate his regime.”
“Elon, by contrast, is barging in and trying to do everything all at once before he has key institutions under firm control. The legislature is not completely subordinated, neither is the judiciary, and he has not yet set up systems to defraud elections. Most critically, he does not have DOGE commissars at all levels of the military. On his current path, sooner or later Musk will have to order American troops to fire on their fellow citizens for attempting to exercise their constitutional rights, and he will need loyalists down to the unit level to force them to do it, not just a few pet generals.”
