Musk fatigue

Everyday I feel like I am subjected to the gasbag that is Musk. Apparently being the richest man in the world enables his every diseased thought to be broadcast to the world. I am so so sick of his antisocial anti democratic posturing.

He is an odious person who wishes to make the world into his hideous image. The GOP populace may wish to be enslaved to this creature but man do I long for a day when Musk is no longer part of the national and international discourse.

What the hell happened to our country? Rhetorical I know.

Who knows what nefarious crap is being cooked up behind the scenes while everyone focuses on this bouncing buffoon.

9. Others are surely using him, but his own nefarious nature is all that is required

given the fact that he sees himself as the Earth's formost oligarch, which he is. He’s not looking to control this country, he’s looking for the one ring that controls them all.

2. Look on the bright side

Everyone else feels that way too - including many within MAGAtry itself. Considering that he’ll probably create an international crisis within hours of rump ascendancy, it wouldn’t surprise me to find him arrested somewhere in the world. The whole world is sick of his fuckery, and if there were cooperation, he could be made poorer by far.

Just kidding. Sort of. Actually, the thought of his paranoia alone over getting arrested is deliciously laden with schadenfreude.

Justin Trudeau resigned. He's mingling in the UK and Germany. He flipped Argentina. We know he used his ill gotten gains to help Fuckface win the election. This guy is a mad man and he needs to be stopped at all possible costs.

They are now ruled by one who is happy to give them the 2 fingered salute.

If you turn on a European news station, you're going to hear Europeans telling Musk to stay out of their affairs and stop financing neo Nazis and far right groups. It's so sickening what this guy is up to.

15. "Primary-ing" our representatives? Are they really our representatives anymore?

What does it say when rich guy gets to threaten "primary-ing" our elected representatives, when it's supposed to be the voters who are deciding whether their representatives are working for them? We've crossed the point where money is determining our government, not the voters. And it's all out in the open / out loud as if this is how it should be.
