The Era of Musk

Co-President Musk is moving fast to solidify control of key governmental functions. He is using the authority of Co-President Trump to move in on the Office of Personnel Management, the General Services Administration, and the Treasury Department using methods described as like those of a hostile corporate takeover. Musk personnel, including individuals who were key in his takeover of Twitter, are taking physical control of servers.

Musk's effects on all of our lives will last longer then Trump the First's reign.

By the time it becomes apparent to the general population of the changes it will be to late to do anything about them. Already is to late, the only way out of this is by going thru to the bitter end.

"Trump the First." Yes, I predict future president-emperors will be known as 'the Trump,' just as Roman emperors were known as 'the Ceasar.'

Speaking of Musk, something I wonder about. There's no shortage of bots and trolls on social media and in online comments to news articles. Mainly praising/defending felon and Musk. Spreading lies and riling up a certain segment of the population. Said riled up segment eagerly repeating all the crap they've been injesting. It's been thought that Putin was responsible. This was probably true to a point but I'm wondering if something else is going on. In my mind the simplest explanation is it's Musk's doing. Who ele benefits the most from the constant shit stirring an MAGA rousing? Right now he's trying to weasel his way behind the scene into Germany's politics and trying to interfere in the UK as well and he's already bought his way into influence here. Political leaders can have limits but those behind the scenes have little accountability. Leon it seems wants to enjoy the limelight. I may be batty but simplest explanation and all that.

I agree, Putin may have had or has some influence, but IMO Muskmelon is the guy driving it.
I'm not a conspiratorist, but remeber Trump's comment about Pennsylvania and how Musk was such a smart man especially with voting machines?

I would'nt be surprised if he did hack them, just like he's worming his way into the federal computing system & federal payment system.

We need to watch and see if anyone around Leon that knows something starts having "accidents" like faling out of open windows or simply dissapearing.

Having bought access by buying tRump Musk is now pulling a government takeover. When you control the money being spent you are in control.
