I'm just trying to figure out what his endgame is.
He has so much wealth and now power and wishes to influence multiple countries this is truly terrifying to think about what he could do with all the wrecking balls he has access to.
My son turned me on to 'Silo' Amazon series based on the books by Hugh Howey. What if the endgame is WW3, with the privileged, whites-only, elite on their way to repopulate Mars? Musk is that egomaniacally insane.
The immediate endgame is just to disable the federal government. Why? I don't think he's thought that far mostly because he (a) doesn't know what most of the federal bureaucracy does for ordinary people and (b) he thinks ordinary people should just go away. Is that rational? Nope. But he probably thinks of what he's doing as repeating what a certain AH accomplished during the first six months of 1933. Once the bureaucracy is gutted and demoralized it will be very difficult to rebuild it.
Recommended reading to understand the ‘endgame’ (if one would call it that) — it’s not a fun read, but it is truly a revelation: Ungoverning: The Attack on the Administrative State and the Politics of Chaos, authors Russell Muirhead & Nancy L. Rosenbaum (2024)
"...the rest of us care, and if not enough people do, then they have to be shown what’s being destroyed." That’s the key, making clear to people what these govt agencies do and why they should care. I guarantee not nearly enough do or will unless someone makes the case, repeatedly.
He makes Luigi Mangione’s victim look innocent by comparison.
