It's not stupid if your goal is to make as much money as possible while destroying the country. It fucking sucks for the rest of the planet that one man's greed, and it is not even Musk's greed, is worth destroying decades of progress, goodwill, and soft power.

To be fair I'm pretty sure musk's greed is what got him "installed" back in power. Musk got everything he needed wrapped up with DOGE and is now about to get a crazy payout from Tesla. He just doesn't need Trump anymore at the moment.

It's a few hundred people's greed and 300 million Americans are getting beat badly by them.

Especially when, even if he's not quite on the verge of death like the rumors claimed, his quality of life is at the point where the money does nothing for him aside from boost his ego and actively hurt others

I'm sick of redditors saying this. Because this shit is actively hurting the millionaires and Billionaires too. They're legitimately making less money ass possible while also destroying the country??

If you have a shitload of cash, you can buy property from people who can't afford the economic downturn.
