...he's being deliberately deceptive by falsely implying that corruption is limited to financial gain.

People who say this are living in some kind of weird world. Billionaires are rich because they are greedy. I believe they have a hoarding disorder. Musk sees all that money in the US treasury and he’s like “oh I could do so much with that”. Never mind that that’s not what Americans want. A little bit like when people say, “he wouldn’t rape anybody he doesn’t need to, he can get all the girls he wants”. Same kind of shit.

The greedy never have enough, they always want more, when they get more, they want more. I wonder how long before they devour each other? Could we be that lucky. If we ever get control of the government back, we should do away with money and make it illegal to have more than a certain amount.
