Musk As Trump’s Downfall (Maybe)

By Shelt Garner

I just don’t see any endgame in the severe crisis we’re in where things go “back to normal.” Either we become a plutocratic autocracy or we collapse and are reborn as a Third Republic in some way. That’s all I got.

The thing about Elon Musk is he’s doing all this shit that Trump is too lazy, stupid and unfocused to pull off. What gets me is all these fascist tech bros who are coming out of the woodwork in ardent support of Emperor Musk. It’s all very surreal.

I suppose it’s within the realm of possibility that Musk will do something so dumb and dramatic that even Reds will get upset. But we have a ways — a long ways — ahead of us before that happens. The end of February is going to be a big deal because that’s when Social Security checks go out.

If they, for some reason, fail to materialize, a lot of people — even Reds — will be upset and start to appoint blame. It’s possible that that will be the moment when Trump cuts Musk loose, but it will be way too late.

I can just see it now — we learn that whatever Musk’s tykes did to prevent Social Security checks from being cut will take months to fix and the thinking is that by time everyone will stop being angry and figured out how to live without that regular source of income.

This Can’t Last

They say when you come to a fork in the road– take it. I suspect that at some point between now and mid-April, some pretty fucking dramatic things are going to happen.

Probably martial law will be declared and Trump — and Musk — will rule as a full blow tyrannical dictator. The rest of the government will continue to act as if they have some sort of purpose, but in reality they won’t be jack squat.

One thing we need to keep an eye on is who is going to get arrested for no damn reason in the near future. I think Trump might start to arrest a lot of people he just doesn’t like and they will officially be political prisoners.

But I do think we need to keep an eye on Elon Musk’s skullfucking of the government. When those Social Security checks don’t go out as expected, that’s when the shit will hit the fan. That’s when martial law will probably be declared.

We just have to accept that the America that we once knew is imploding and something new is going to take its place. Either an autocracy or some sort of new, Third Republic. Regardless, things are probably going to get very, very messy.

I’m kind of trapped in the United States at the moment, so it’s not like I can escape. But I am, in general, a survivor, so, lulz. we’ll see.

Collapse: Chatter Is, Social Security Checks Are In Danger

There is chatter online that the cutting of Social Security checks might be in danger. So, in a sense, we have about a month before we find out if Elon Musk really does want to destroy the social fabric of the United States.

Something like that is what would cause severe upheaval across the United States. Given that old people vote and they usually vote Republican there is a SMALL CHANCE that a lot of very conservative people might have their support for Trump and Musk…fray just a little bit?

And, yet, MAGA is a Nazi death cult at this point so….maybe even the loss of something as basic as Social Security checks might not even budge things. It’s going to be interesting to see how things develop.

I just don’t know. At this point, it could go either way. It really could. It could be that we will be a true dictatorship with perfunctory elections. If that happens, then we would be a lot like the early Roman Empire.

The United States Is In A Severe Crisis

Holy Shit. I have to say, in a sense, that I predicted all of this some time ago. And, yet, I didn’t. The part that I missed was that it would be Elon Musk , not Trump, who would go full tyrant on us.

Or, I suppose, it’s a combination of Trump and Musk — TrumpMusk, if you will. Mump? Trusk? We need some sort of pithy nickname for this particular diabolical duo.

Another thing I missed is how much political slack Trusk has. These two malignant ding-dongs pretty much have complete leeway to do whatever the fuck they want for the time being.

What’s more, there is going to come a point where it becomes clear that Trusk is going to defy the courts to the point as to moot their power. That will be the moment when things really get out of whack because the traditional blunting and mitigating force of the courts will no longer apply and people are going to start to get angry.

That’s the thing I don’t know about — how much can the populace take before something really bad happens. We are in a crisis with no obvious endgame. Relative to the WW2 analogy, I would say what’s going on right now is the Fall of France – 1940.

It’s going to take a while for the Good Guys to get the fucking act together. And while they do, a lot of crazy bad shit could happen. And, sad to say, I fear for the Good Guys to be victorious, they’re going to have to become Radical Moderates.

They’re going to have to show some grit in the real world. This is not going to be settled in the court of Twitter opinion — this is bigboy shit in the real world where people have to risk their lives and sacred honor.
