The following are not my words copied from elsewhere...
Suppose this was the headline three years ago;
“Biden adds George Soros to his administration as a “Special government Employee” gives him a TS Security clearance, an office, a staff and a budget, and gives him the authority to cut funding from any federal program he desires with no Congressional oversight.”
Then two days later;
“Soros hires 5 programmers in their early 20’s to modernize the Treasury Department computer systems. They immediately begin writing and installing code.”
Then two days later;
“Soros gains access to the private financial information of everyone in the country.”
Would you be OK with this, or be in a ”Sheer panic?”

It wasn't a Nazi salute he put his arm out to indicate flying to Mars.
They made something from nothing.
Watch the video it's only short.
Has he bought himself a president with all that money or has he bought himself a presidency?
The internet YouTube etc even Trumps own party are up in arms now about Musk having access to government the way he has.
This is not going to end well.
You’re right, it won’t end well. He didn’t buy Twitter and make over 250 million dollars in ‘campaign contributions’ out of the goodness of his heart.
He bought 47 the ability to play at being president again (for the time being), and in return 47 gives him total carte blanche to completely upend and rip the US government apart. Especially all the government departments that are/were investigating him and his business interests. There’s a reason USAID was the first to go under his sledgehammer - it seems USAID was investigating Starlink in relation to Ukraine.
Aside from his unimaginable and obscene wealth, the guy’s head just ain’t wired right. That makes him extremely dangerous, imo. 47 would be an even bigger fool to try and cut him loose. For the first time ever, 47 has no choice but to accommodate a sociopathic ego every bit as gargantuan as his own.
Best case scenario: Elon gets a kick out of shredding and breaking shit, and he has a short attention span. So, hopefully, he’ll eventually get bored and move onto the next shiny thing.
I don’t even want to try and imagine the worst case scenario…..
Trump is sending out messages to China and Russia and the rest of the world...
If you want to invade annexe steal force then do so.
He's also sending out a big clear message that NATO is on the verge of serious
infighting amongst it's members.
If Canada call on NATO support NATO will respond along
with a lot of commonwealth nations.
Putin and Jinping must be rolling about laughing.

America is rich in light crude which it's refineries can't handle.
They export their oil.
Canadian crude is heavy and ideal for its refineries.
If Canadian crude stops crossing the border then America have a problem.
Changing the infrastructure will take years.
So Trump and president Musk threaten to invade.

Once you've shit on your friends and allies getting back the trust is near impossible.
When Canadas oil and timber and rare earths are going elsewhere
they won't be coming back to the USA.
All that foreign aid is American soft power... all up in smoke.
Thousands will now stop receiving aids drugs and die unless China steps in.
Clean water projects education and food... China will step in.
Engines pumps transport etc China will step in because it gives them presence and influence.
Soft power gives you friendly faces and spaces around the world... all up in smoke.

I'm not even concerned about other countries or their governments.
We have money to buy shit. People will sell it. Commerce will roll on. Look how much bullshit we import from China and we hate each other.
I'm talking about burning down my government. That's where the problem lies..
Like I said it's not that simple.
Money doesn't get you what you want when contracts have been signed with others and
those contracts are being fulfilled and honoured.
Not to mention the change in infrastructure that's being paid for.
This view of money is definitely American.
You don't think we are going to continue to get our Chinese made shoes and cell phones?
Money talks. Always has, always will..
You've always been overly dramatic about the US..
If we crash and burn it will be because of our sovereign debt. Not because of our foreign policy (except for how fucking expensive our foreign policy can be)..

Why are you switching the conversation to cheap shoes and stuff?
There are countries lining up to take Canadas rare earths which America really need but will likely end up in China
the way president Musk and his sidekick are going.
Getting angry isn't good for your health... neither are those statins you're taking.

Secondly, it's a global economy. There's nothing we can't buy, because there's always someone willing to sell it to the largest consumer on the planet..
