In ten years time Elon Musk will live in a hermetically sealed penthouse apartment, too obese to leave even if he wanted to. His only companion Trump's brain in a jar, hooked up to a voice box, that makes small screeching noises every 42 seconds and occasionally tells jokes

If ever there was a symptom of a nation's stark decline, it's having a deranged conspiracy-addled freak like RFK Jr. in charge of your health policy, or anywhere near government. The Trump regime really is the last gasp of weird old white guys clinging to power, privilege and the past.

Wall Street is admitting that human extinction is likely, and instead of trying to stop it, their primary concern is maintaining their profits. "We now expect a 3°C world," Morgan Stanley analysts wrote earlier this month, citing "recent setbacks to global decarbonization efforts."

The unfolding horror of the Musk-Trump administration is not a ghastly aberration of US political culture, but rather its apogee. It is what the US embrace of capitalism is in essence, once all the empty rhetoric of "freedom" has been discarded. This is how it was always intended, its pure form.

Trump and the broligarchs want to facilitate an economic and political crisis in the US, which he hopes will lead to civil unrest severe enough that he "suspends" democratic elections and introduces martial law (one of the reasons Hegseth was elevated). It really is a fascist coup.
