Sadly, Time Magazine Got it Right
If you haven’t seen it, the latest issue of Time Magazine’s
cover depicts Elon Musk sitting behind the Resolute Desk. The truth is, Musk is
running America, and running it off a cliff.
I never believed it possible, but Musk actually knows less
about governing our country than the old, obese man who was illegitimately
elected twice.
Most billionaires/oligarchs are accomplished at one thing
only. When they get out of their lanes, they reveal their ignorance,
incompetence, and arrogance. Musk is the richest of them all. He is not only
out of his lane, he took the offramp which is leading our nation towards total
destruction.
America has become less of a country and more of a business.
Most of our nation’s citizens are focused on wealth and the unnecessary
possessions which follow.
Musk created an agency for himself. He calls it DOGE, the
Department of Government Efficiency. His idea of “efficiency” is the eliminating
of hundreds of millions of dollars from multiple agencies without a thorough
investigation into their process or success rate.
Recently he cut millions of dollars in grants for medical
research. His ultimate goals are the elimination of the Department of
Education, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans benefits.
Down to basics. Musk is just another oligarch. His ambitions
are the only issues of importance: damn the working class. He considers himself
more important, more intelligent, and more worthy of living a life of luxury
and privilege than anyone else. He is the enemy of the people.
My question is “how is it possible that a man who was not
elected, knows nothing about working in any level of government, controlling
the future of 340 million people?
My country has “left the building.” I don’t know what “this”
is, but it’s not my America.
