      Musk doesn’t need to run for office. He’s the richest man in the world. With Trump as president, Musk can just call him, offer a few million and get whatever he wants.

        Musk has enough money to change whatever rules he wants and tie up all the government lawyers for years fighting over all the rules he might want to break.

        Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

          Funny how this reflects exactly my train of thought.

          Oh god, what if that asshat runs for president next?

          Oh, wait, isn’t he from Africa or something?

          pew

          Wait, doesn’t his buddy run the country, his party and the supreme court?

          *panic intensifies*
