Make No Mistake, Trump Is Just The Figure Head [View all]

Months ago I said that Musk was more dangerous than Fox Noise. I have a new proclamation: Musk is more dangerous than Trump.

The pecking order in the United States is:

Putin
Musk
Trump.

Trump wants to be dictator to make money.
Musk already has money. Musk wants to be dictator for power.

Who out there is going to take Trump's side over Musk's side? I haven't heard Steve Bannon talking about ripping Musk's face off lately.

Putin and Musk own little Donnie Trump. Trump will be allowed to grift and tear down our institutions, but when Trump crosses Putin/Musk, he will back down.

At this stage of Trump's senility he doesn't even make a good Putin/Musk parrot.

If Trump hangs out at Mar-el-Loco, Musk will hang out there. If Trump hangs out at the White House, Musk will hang out there.

Musk is already the richest man of the world, he now wants to become dictator of the world.
