Elon Musk is what happens Before Revolutions
Elon Musk is not a revolutionary or a Nazi trying to become a dictator. Instead, history shows Musk is what comes before revolutions.
Musk and President Donald J. Trump Senior (R-Florida) are making a clumsy effort at reforming the federal government. All sane Americans know the federal government is in desperate need of reform. Many basic institutions, including the presidency, the Electoral College, and Congress, no longer work.
Worse, leaders such as Trump, former President Joe Biden (D-Delaware), and most members of Congress, who refuse to acknowledge the nation’s problems, win most elections. The list of problems our leaders refuse to deal with is long and grows daily. Problems our leaders ignore include Climate Change, poverty, oligarchy, homelessness, Chinese competition, healthcare, technological unemployment, industrial collapse, an aging population, inflation, our government’s lack of tax revenue, and our military’s many deficiencies.

Trump and Musk’s clumsy efforts are a crude attempt at reform. Frighteningly, there seems to be no plan or strategy. Just Musk’s childish Silicon Valley philosophy of move “fast and break things.”
