    I had this discussion with people IRL recently, wondering who the real power behind the throne was, because when they let him do interviews on his own, it’s clear the orange figurehead is too far gone with dementia to be this organized and focused on the transition. I hope that the real power behind the throne is Leon, because he’s so stupid. Dangerous, yes, but not as insidiously dangerous as somebody smart.

    In any case, I want this to be true. It’s exactly what I would’ve predicted, so I’ll keep calling him President Musk.

    • wondering who the real power behind the throne was

      prolly the more blatant, dirty-handed millionaire, billionaire, if not trillionaire powers that be

      Eg. Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Donald Trump

      Though I would say political power has now been divvied up like stocks to shareholders

      Then again, Biden’s admin still holds ground (under the other power), until January 20-21st, of course

        He has always been an idiot but he isnt able to focus much anymore. Its hard to tell though since he was always running at half cylinder and is now running at a third.
