The mainstream media has been so silent as to be complicit. There was an election last fall and Elon Musk’s name was not on the ballot. Yet there he is, acting as if he was the winner in November.
A man worth $426 billion spent a mere 1½% percent of his fortune ($285 million) to buy the presidency! It is as if there has been a silent insurrection greased by dark money to facilitate a Russian coup.
The Russians had always hoped to destroy the United States from within, and to do it without firing a shot would be optimal. When the Supreme Court gave rich people the right to buy politicians, it gave the Russians an in.
They had been grooming Trump since the 1980s, and Putin never forgot, so when he became the Russian president, he so corrupted Donald that he never failed in doing his bidding.
And, of course, since Musk helped him buy the office for the second time, Trump has been all to compliant in allowing the unelected man to perform the prescribed tasks destroying the government while Trump continues signing previously drafted 2025 executive orders.
And it should not go without saying that Musk has met a number of times with Putin surreptitiously in the months leading up to the election, enough so as to deny him any security clearance.
This insurrection appears to be a silent, successful coup.
