Elon Musk is emerging as the most dangerous man in America, thanks to the weird kinship he has formed with the next president of the United States.
Musk, as we all know, is the world’s richest man. He has filled Donald Trump’s vacuous noggin with notions that he can fix what’s wrong the federal government. He — along with right-wing blowhard Vivek Ramaswamy — leads a government reform project, or some such thing, that seeks to cut trillions of dollars from the government coffers.
Americans have elected Musk to no political office. He has no political standing other than his strange relationship with Trump. Musk has emerged as a sort of de facto co-president, if you dare swallow that bit of information in one bite.
The guy frightens the hell out of me. He ought to scare the bejabbers out of anyone who has this sort of love affair with good government. That should be all Americans who prefer that the president and Congress go back to what the late Sen. John McCain would call “regular order.”
There is not a damn thing that is “regular” about the way the next POTUS and Congress are getting ready to take the reins of power.
Trump figures to rely on the machinations of Musk — and, of course, Ramaswamy — as he proposes spending cuts.
This dude Musk, though, is one scary son of a … well, you know.
