This seems like a pretty conspiratorial view on how society operates.

  How so? The richest man in the US just bought himself a president. And now he intends to dismantle half the federal government.

    You think Elon Musk swung the election all by himself?

      It's certainly plausible: https://mastodon.social/@carnage4life@mas.to/113617945750132483 https://mastodon.social/@carnage4life@mas.to/113617945750132...

        Except Harris outspent Trump overall by a significant amount.
        • archagon 2y ago
          But would Trump have won without Musk's support? The answer may well be no.
          • bpt3 2y ago
            Polling indicates that his support didn't move the vote totals that much. Wouldn't the major Harris donors have bought the election if you are correct though?

  Don't be naive. Try to look at everything throught he lens that considers money is speech and corporations are people, and that the flow of wealth always, without exeception, flows from the poorest to the richest, and you will understand why it's a fallacy to think there is any good will involved, or that the ultra-wealthy are going to let you or I, the peasants, fuck up their plans.
