If there is one thing for certain in these crazy times, it is that Elon Musk is just an imposter. He takes to the social media empire that was once called Twitter, and claims he is making the user the media. And in reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Musk has turned what was once a thriving social media empire, and turned it into a propaganda soapbox for Donald Trump.
Elon uses his god like power of X to decide what
accounts get pushed and those that fall into the abyss. If you blindly push the
narrative Elon subscribes himself to, you will find yourself re-tweeted by social
media monarch who has more in common with Charles Foster Kane, than he does
Woodward and Bernstein. If you dare to question the almighty Elon, your account
is suppressed and your interactions dwindle.
One of the grossest and most unholy alliances ever
thrust upon the public in modern times is that of Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Elon
proudly served as Trump’s megaphone, as Trump dropped breadcrumbs of approval.
Perhaps Elon always desired to sit at what he felt was the cool kids table.
Maybe Elon always wanted to hang out with the so-called cool crowd. Instead,
the mocked and laughed at him. They never gave him the approval he sought.
In Trump, he found a man that, as long as you gave
him your obedience, he will sing your praises. He will pat you on the back, and
thank you. As long as your useful to Trump, he will pat you on the back. Typically,
Trump bores of people in his inner circle. Or they will not give him the 24/7
devotion he feels entitled to. Or perhaps they will commit the greatest crime
in his eyes. They will simply have a differing opinion.
In Elon, Trump found someone he can easily exploit.
Devoted to Trump the way Waylon Smithers is devoted to Montgomery Burns. Elon
will never cross Trump. And Elon had no problems turning Twitter into a soapbox
for Frum, his followers, and their fascist beliefs. And do not get it twisted;
fascism is exactly what they seek to bring to America.
Donald Trump has always admired strongmen. While
Kim Jung Un of North Korea personally oversaw the murder of Otto Warmbier, Trump
exchanged what he infamously called “love letters” with Kim Jung Un. He smiled
as he shook Un’s hands. The thought of freeing Otto Warmbier never was a
thought in Trump’s mind. Just like freeing Paul Whalen from the chains of
bondage in Russia never crossed his mind. Instead, Trump eschewed the reports
of U.S. intelligence agencies. And merely accepted Putin’s version.
And that’s perhaps where Elon Musk and Trump have
their greatest connection. Trump fancies himself a strongman. He wants full
control over what Americans think. Trump wants full devotion. It was in the
rhetoric of his social media followers. When Kyle Rittenhouse dared question
Trump, the rest of MAGA shamed him into reassuming his blind loyalty. With Kyle
being forced to take to Twitter and apologized for having an independent thought.
And that’s where Elon has his connection. He
desires the power of using media to control the narrative. The combination of
Trump and Musk seeking to force upon Americans blind loyalty, with the media
serving as a propaganda arm.
And this is where everyone needs to grasp how
dangerous the next four years are going to be. America is soon to have a
sitting president that questions any elections his party loses. A sitting president
that that is friendly to the very idea of suspending the U.S. Constitution. A
sitting president warm to the idea of deporting countless immigrants whose
biggest crime is seeking a better life. And all the while, his partner in crime
is going to be Elon Musk.
So, don’t be shocked if Trump does fulfil his
promise of bringing back the Alien and Sedition Act, making it a crime to speak
out against the government. And do not be shocked when Elon provides the platform,
he needs to make that idea popular with his base. Kyle Rittenhouse is an
example of what the combination of Elon Musk and Donald Trump can do. And that
was before Donald was re-elected.
In the last several weeks, Musk’s thirst to control
the media, and be an asset to Trump have been on full display. Musk as re-tweeted outright lies and debunked
theories and stories. Musk as assisted Trump and the Republicans war on women.
Assisted in the war on free speech. And assisted in the unified goal of Trump
and the GOP to make Christianity the official religion of the United States.
They next goal of the unholy duo of Trump and Elon
could really be anything. It might sound hollow, and lost the meaning it once
had, but there is one thing that is truly clear. There is a danger that Musk
and Trump represent. And if they have their way, America will be changed
forever. And not in a good way.
Imagine a country where you must sign yearly loyalty
oaths. A country where what you viewed in the privacy of your own home is at
the whim of the federal government. A country where you may be unable to marry
the person you love. A country where the government exercises full control over
a woman’s uterus.
