Elon Musk. It sounds like the name of a fine Italian fragrance. But don’t be fooled, as it really reeks of roadkill skunk.
This gazillionaire, who just bought a presidency, is not interested in the welfare of “the people,” rather in furthering his own enormous wealth and ego. Constitution be damned, the combination of Trump and Musk can buy whatever laws they personally want to impose on our country.
Wake up, folks. What happened to “government of the people, by the people, for the people”? (A. Lincoln). It seems to have perished.
