Seems to me that it’s mostly revenge; dismantling any government agency that has ever thwarted him, or that the right wing does not like. But, I certainly don’t trust his motives…

    Setting things up to allow him to become the world’s first trillionaire.

    The important stuff is about crippling regulatory mechanisms, opening up huge government contracts, and dismantling workers rights. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.

      ^ This answer. He wants the US Treasury for his own. But also, he knows money is just a way of keeping score. If he wants to accomplish great things, he needs a slave race working blindly for him. (Musk having been raised in South Africa, apartheid was a real thing. Small white ruling class with all the money over the black native population who were treated like dogs). His goal is to bring that here and D.T. will help him.

      They are both broken people inside. Something is very wrong in there and I pray it gets fixed/better.

    Ketamine. He’s doing ketamine mostly, everything else is just stuff he hires someone else to do. So I guess hiring people whilst doing ketamine.

    Pretty obvious. Destroying free elections and democracy. US is toast. Now they just need the Nazis elected in Germany (which he’s actively manipulating) and the EU falls apart and all we’ll have left in the worlds major powers is dictatorships.

    He’s privatising the government and remaking it to his own technocratic specifications, a corpocracy but with racial foundations (whites at the top).

    Elon is wiping out any opposition or oversight into what he does while he’s also gaining access to the inner workings of other companies whether they be rivals or potential takeovers. He will also use some of that information to get back at individuals that he has a grudge with.

    Ketamine high on power actually believed half the bullshit he deludes himself to.

    That and/or he’s being pressured by Russia as well. But he definitely off his head on ketamine and dissociatives hit hard.

    Basically what theyre doing together is destroying the US because they were Russian enemy nr1.

    Not any more. Putin controls the US more or less now.

    He is a one man ponzi scheme, he would buy tesla stock,increasing his cash,the Ln spend that cash on buying stock. Its a really terrible idea because it means you conning yourself. Which is where he is now,so his trying and failing to but time and to beef up his value. Think about it, before is worth about half as much as musk,but amozon sells millions of kg of physical stuff everyday,so ya he should be worth billions. What does Elon sell? Why is his car company worth twice as much as Ford? No one is buying his shit but the stock value keeps going up? Well its a one man ponzi. Well now the walls are closing in,so what’s a billionaire to do? Buy the walls. But he needs to be stopped otherwise he’ll swallow the whole us economy

      The first step to him taking over America and misusing the military to take over other countries until he has world domination and requires everyone to use 𝕏 accounts as government ID, banking, and the only source for news, communication, media, education, and entertainment.

    I’ll link a video about it I found both interesting and depressing. It gives insight into at least part of the reason he’s doing this. The other part is that he blames the left for taking his trans daughter away from him even though he was an absent father to begin with. He’s fucking delusional.

    He’s mad we don’t like him enough. He’s a spoiled asshole rich kid knocking down our block castle because he isn’t getting 100% attention and love. He’s pathetic and it’s terrifying he has any power let alone dictatorial power.

    Not playing whatever that game is that he said he’s really good at but actually doesn’t even play
