Yes, even after the foul, putrid stench of Trump has been extinguished, there's still the real bad guy in all of this that needs to be dealt with - Elon Musk. The richest man in the world and his billionaire tech bro ghouls are some of the worst human beings alive. Musk has been using his ill gotten fortune to spread hate and violence throughout the world. Just look at what he did to Argentina, Turkey, the UK, Hungary, and Italy as proof. He tried it with Canada and failed, and he will again.
And since Trump has taken office, Elon's fortune has only doubled in size, while the minimum wage has not increased in over 15 years, so let that sink in. While many will point fingers and say that he cut ties with Trump, you are wrong. He was spotted at Mar-A-Lago shortly before the highly illegal Venezuela invasion, which means that he must have had some influence in the outcome of this illegal exercise. And he's probably got some pull with what's going to happen if Trump tries anything stupid with Greenland. Remember, Greenland is full of valuable minerals that would greatly benefit Musk.
The richest man in the world and his tech bro billionaires are not your friends. They are out for absolute power and wealth beyond their wildest imaginations. They are using their power and influence to flip democracies to fascism in order to carry out their ideas for whatever weird tech utopia they're envisioning.
What Elon Musk did to Argentina is unforgivable. What he did to flip and turn people against Vladimir Putin's illegal and immoral invasion and occupation of Ukraine is unforgivable. What he did to flip and turn people against COVID measures and the amount of people who died as a result is unforgivable. The way he cruelly got Trump to cut half of the government and especially USAID is unspeakably cruel. As is the way he elevates online shit stirrers like Catturd, libsoftiktok, Tucker Carlson, and so on.
The richest man in the world is an unspeakably cruel, inhuman psychopathic monster. He must be dealt with to the maximum extent that the law allows when this is finally over, if it is over. He's starting wars and turning people against each other because he thinks it's funny, and also to profit greatly. He is the real bad guy.

(107,580 posts)Or at least influenced it. He seems like the kind of person who would have fucked around on 4Chan back in the day. He's the kind of person who thinks his online friends are his real friends, which is sad.

(107,580 posts)Look at Argentina, Italy, Turkey, the Philippines, the UK, the list goes on. He attempted to flip Germany, Canada, and Japan but failed there.
And look what he did to Ukraine. That's James Bond villain level evil.

(82 posts)I would hope that ICE coughs him up a bit before deporting him to some tiny island in the pacific. Hopefully some entity will debank him at some point as well. How satisfying would it be to see the wealth he's hoarded unto himself being used to benefit the poor?

Stephen Miller and others behind Project 2025 are the real bad guys. They are using the useful tools to implement their strategies. Neither Musk, nor Trump, have the brains for the complex structure (both legal and tactical) comprising this fiasco.
