    The sheer audacity of watching a hostile takeover of democracy packaged as “government efficiency” would be hilarious if it weren’t so dystopian. Musk’s entire playbook relies on the legal fiction that a man with tentacles in every federal contract can magically compartmentalize his self-interest. Spoiler: he can’t.

    Dismantling oversight isn’t innovation—it’s arson. Burning USAID while they investigated Starlink? Liquidating the CFPB as he plans to monetize payments on X? This isn’t draining the swamp; it’s redirecting the sewage into his offshore accounts, filtered through red-pilled tech bros cosplaying as revolutionaries.

    The $250 million Trump donation wasn’t philanthropy. It was a corporate coup downpayment. Citizens United’s “no quid pro quo” fantasy now stares back as Musk holds press conferences in the Oval Office, dictating which agencies get fed to the woodchipper.

    Accountability? GOP lawmakers cower like kicked dogs, while courts move slower than a Tesla on empty. Democracy isn’t broken—it’s been jailbroken, and Musk’s running the bootleg firmware.
