Trump, right? He’s president-elect.
Wrong. Even after Trump is inaugurated, he less of a threat than Musk.
Elon Musk can buy his own country if he wanted it. Whether he is a benevolent tyrant with the people can be measured by his handling of “X,” also known to many as Twitter. There are massive numbers of people and businesses using Twitter. How have they been treated? Musk claims total control of the website and its policies. He said that himself in live interviews.
Let’s say the Free World ostracized him, cancelled passports, and citizenship and the only place he could go was back to South Africa. How much of a threat is he now?
Elon Musk has all the characteristics and capacity of a sovereign country. Don’t think for one minute he doesn’t know that. He not only knows that he bought a president because he can’t run on his own. That damn constitution gets in the way.
But, he is capable of spawning his own bank, his own economy, and his own national defense as well as space exploration. His rockets can be loaded with nukes or dirty bombs.
Nope, Jeff Bezos is not the same. Bezos has never attempted to undermine the greatest democracy in the world. Subversives often have that agenda. Jeff Bezos asked Captain Kirk to take a ride to promote his space tourism. It doesn’t get more American than that. Besides that Bezos is not interested in overtaking NASA’s agenda. He has his own and it is based in business practices.
Elon would like to take over NASA and immediately engage in permanent residences in space stations. Sort of like t he enough of Battlestar Galactica. Such a venture would be a human tragedy and everyone would get sick and die. We are not remotely there yet. Trump isn’t bright enough to understand that though. He would just be seeing dollar signs.
So, is Elon Musk a financial equivalent of a terrorist? I think he is far more dangerous to the USA national security than any terrorist contemplating jihad.
