Elon Musk eyes radical overhaul of US gov’t as ‘Secretary of Cost-Cutting’

Tesla and SpaceX CEO stands to gain a cabinet position if Donald Trump wins the US presidential election.

Deifict hawking in the US in 2024? Sounds great for global capitalism. US is THE consooming engine.

Atleast Argentina is a smaller country. Atleast Russia was disconnected from rest of the capitalist world pre 1990s.

And it's by no means "radical". Bill Clinton the neoliberal establishment guy ran budget surpluses in the 1990s, sucked money away from the (mainly poor) people and increased household debt.

    I’m starting to think that they won’t allow Trump to win this time because you don’t want to screw with the imperialist machine.

    Which would unironically probably cause a civil war

      You really think so? I'd think they'd just have him actually assassinated and just have Vance (he's a chucklefuck with no principles anyway, he'd be easy to blackmail) held by the balls to do what they want wrt imperialism.

        If they do off him, I don't think it's off the table. It'd be seriously destabilizing.
