Read it all.

America's bureaucratic machinery now runs through Elon Musk's smartphone. A man-child who tweets about dogecoin controls $6 trillion in government payments, holding enough control over government operations to reward allies, punish competitors, and reshape federal policy to benefit his own enterprises. If you had "the world's richest shitposter has quietly become America's shadow government chief" on your bingo card, congratulations. You've won the stupidest prize.

He has access to everything and enormous control.

Mild-mannered techies are under the thumb of Atilla the Hun.

The era of careful corporate influence in Washington died the moment Musk's team gained access to Treasury payment systems.

Big Tech faces a new reality: their most powerful competitor has become their regulator, with access to their government contracts, spending patterns, and federal relationships.

The guy who cheats at videogames is cheating at everything else, and winning.

Whatcha gonna do?
