Incredibly, E. Musk is revealing himself to be arguably even more despicable and dangerous to society than D. Trump. And old timers like Goldwater and Nixon seem like angels in comparison. Live long enough and you'll see almost everything.

@lauren Unlike Trump, Musk has actual money.

I'd wager he has more soft-power to throw around than Trump also, though that *might* be a toss-up. Trump's real power, as we have come to see, is in connections; we've watched people throw away careers and reputations defending that man for otherwise-inexplicable reasons (because Lord knows he doesn't actually get around to paying them).
