Will Elon's coup succeed or fail?

[NameAlreadyTaken]

And why?

I think it's doomed to fail even if it nominally "succeeds," because where is he going to find people with the expertise to run all these specific functions in government? Is he going to use AI to run it? Will it be a "self-driving" sort of government? How is he going to implement his wild fantasy of a techno corporatocracy? He doesn't even know how anything works in government. What if it all crashes like one of his self-driving cars? Then what?

1. Stay tuned

for the next episode of American Oligarchs and find out! Wish we could change this channel.

2. Musk's goal is to destroy the US govt.

So far he is doing quite well.

[malaise]

3. It will fail

and blowup like his ugly vehicle

8. 100%, Techno Fascism is literally

Libertarian masturbatory fantasy.

The first parts, destroy the government and destroy democracy are doable. We are halfway there already.

The part that delves into fantasy is where everyone rolls over for the serfdom part. Good luck with that Elon.

10. It's already failed in my opinion...

Mostly due to the reasons you cited.

The damage has been done though. I don’t see the glass putting itself back together any time soon. Every response I see is reactionary and without direction.

11. This is one of the deepest dives on what is going on with Musk and the Techno Fascists

I keep passing it on because it is completely on point as to what is going on.

12. Good resource. n/t

13. People talk about the need for a shadow government and my prayer

Has been that one is established and prepares for an emergency/disaster response when the adults regain control (adults regaining control is part of the prayer, too before anyone if’s me).

[JCMach1]

22. Dems need to lay it out and call it Restore America...

And Leadership needs to catch on quick about Techno Fascism.

This isn't Grandpa's GOP

[Alice B.]

23. And they need to speak directly and honestly to us.

As for Techno Fascism , the absolute soullessness and absence of any kind of ... well, good.... in it, is really hard to comprehend.

17. The WankPanzer or the

Swasticar?

Or both?

[malaise]

18. Bwaaah

Pick one😀

[Bettie]

19. I was told (and laughed hard at that point) that WankPanzer

is the term for the truck-thing and that Swasticar is only for the car version!

Terminology is important!

[Hugin]

20. There's also...

IncEL Camino.



I’d be hard pressed to pick a favorite or use either with a straight face.

[Bettie]

21. Oh, I like that one too

we need to get our laughs where we can.

[Mr. Sparkle]

4. It depends whether the institutions hold or not.

[Buckeyeblue]

5. It has already succeeded

We found out how fragile the infrastructure of our government actually is.

We should be disrupting the disruptors. I think the only way to beat Trump is to create more chaos than he does.

People are trying to find order to his chaos. It just makes him stronger.

You must fight chaos with more chaos.

[Johonny]

6. Yes, the more he succeeds the more the system

Will fail. Musk is creating a disaster thar will cost a lot to fix.

DOGE will lose 100 billions before it is over.

[Meowmee]

7. I don't know but I hope he and it fails miserably

So far it is not looking good at all. Why anyone is listening to them, they have no authority, is what I don't understand. Apparently this is really just a nation of cowards now to be blown over by the slightest wind. I can't say here what I really wish would happen. May they all get what they deserve.

[Happy Hoosier]

9. Depends upon what you mean...

Ultimately, he'll be kicked to the curb. He's just too much of an asshole with no actual ability to lead.

But he will succeed in trashing the economy, which was probably hs actual goal, since he'll snap up a ton of assets at fire sale prices.

[JustAnotherGen]

14. I think the longer it goes on

The harder it would be to fix.

He must be removed.

[elocs]

15. To whatever degree, it will succeed.

But the United States of America will never be the same again. Our allies don't trust us anymore and have formed new trade relations. We will be a pariah with nukes. So Musk wins.

[XanaDUer2]

16. Fail

But he's gonna fuck up tons of shit
