Elon now has real political power to flex and as we know he is a dumbass extraordinaire. Now he's come out railing against a stopgap funding bill that's chock full of pork because that's how you grease the skids
We are in for a rough four years

I've heard rumours that when Zimbabwe funally pulled the plug on their old currency, only a fairly small number of people got access to the $100 trillion notes.
This has constrained supply and is why they sell to collectors now for well over $50, when most retired hyperinflationary notes (Germany in the 1920s, Hungary in the 1940s, Yugoslavia in the 1990s) are $1-$5 junk-box items.
So I await seeing how they metagrift this grift.
