You think Musk doesn't have counterweights? If you're looking for dictatorship, look to Obama, Harris, Soros, Schwab, Zuckerberg, Pichai, and those tech bros.

What we have is two groups fighting for dominance. Both want global dominance. I believe it become inevitable if DJT does not win the election. Just look at the tyrannical impulses that were realized around the world in the last 4 years, with the US leading the way. It has been both jarring and breathtaking.

For the moment, at least, Musk is more oriented towards freedom than his adversaries.

Kellen: Strongly disagree with most of these your assertions. Where to start?

1. Obama ran for president, was re-elected, and left office. Hardly the hallmark of a dictator.

2. Harris is running for president. There’s no indication that she, if elected, would strive to maintain that position for life. She’s exhibited no evidence of authoritarian tendencies throughout her lengthy career as an elected official. Like Obama, she’s not a broligarch. Nor has she shown herself to be empowering of the same.

3. Who’s Schwab again?

4. Soros? Really? https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-49584157.amp

5. Zuckerberg is a destructive force. Agreed.

6. The U.S. is hardly blameless but that’s not exactly a new feature that emerged suddenly in the past 4 years. Try the past 70. And that doesn’t mean we who live here should then be OK with an autocrat—which DT has said outright he would be.

Musk is no ally to “freedom.” He’s a libertarian oligarch who holds some abhorrent views, particularly when it comes to people of color, women, and his very own transgender child.

Freedom for oligarchs to have all the money and power, damn the rest of us, if that’s a definition of freedom that suits you.

Marthe, keep up the sanity. Kellen, WTF???

1) It is widely reported that Obama is the one running the country behind the scenes. That sounds like a dictator wannabe.

2)Harris isn't nearly smart enough to be a dictator. She's just a puppet being installed, so Obama can continue his control. Biden was a puppet.

3) Musk is, as I said, "at the moment" more oriented towards freedom. So you substantially misinterpreted my statement on him.

4) DT's statement is taken out of context. He said it, jokingly, referring to his first day in office only. Kinda like Biden and all his exec orders on day 1. I know the left desperately wants to paid DT as a dictator but it is simply in accurate. There is nothing in his first term that indicates this tendency, and it is Dems who want to abuse their power to take away rights, not the least of which is parental rights. And that, Marthe, is the foundation of dictatorships: place the state between parents and children.

5) Freedom, as I define it, would result in money and power moving away from oligarchs and towards "the rest of us".

6) Soros - first George, now Alex - are dictatorial globalists. There is absolutely no question about that. All you have to do is look at the politicians he has supported for office. They are all marxists.
