America has a systemic issue, they were handed the tools to start fixing it. Abolishing the electoral college should be doable now for example. Also lying to congressional committees should carry a penalty.

I’ll see after the next presidential election if they’re worth forgiving.

    It’s baffling how becoming a billionaire changes someone. They don’t see the world like normal people do.

    Imagine him spending the same money starting schools around the country. “Elon Musk school for the gifted” or something, get the best math / programming / etc students there to receive first rate education and then pick the best ones to work for your companies.

    With that money he could fund a bunch of schools perpetually. And he’d be remembered for a long time as a philanthropist.

    But nope, he’ll rather buy a DOGE leader position and then try to buy elections. And beg to get on Epstein Island
