Kingdom Come
The much anticipated royal presidency of Elon Musk has arrived ahead of schedule. Using the social media network he purchased on behalf of the presidency he purchased, Musk lobbed in a cool 150 posts demanding “that Republicans back away from a bipartisan spending deal that was meant to avoid a government shutdown over Christmas. He vowed political retribution against anyone voting for the sprawling bill backed by House Speaker Mike Johnson.” Proving that he is still aligned with Trump, Musk “also shared misinformation about the bill, including false claims that it contained new aid for Ukraine or $3 billion in funds for a new stadium in Washington.” False information. Chaos. Oligarchical rule. Welcome to the new reality. NYT (Gift Article): Elon Musk Flexes His Political Strength as Government Shutdown Looms. Flex and Balances… We’ve traded our democratic superpower for a Cybertruck.
