        It’s possible, but it also could play out the same way as in Russia where people just sucked it up, and then Putin came in and reigned in the worst excesses stabilizing the system.

          Except Trump is a petty moron who is incapable of achieving any of that. He just gave the keys to the henhouse to all the techbro capitalist wolves.

          Something tells me they are going to use this as a last ditch effort to make as much money at everyone’s expense.

          The fact that Musk has access to the treasury payments system is a massive overstep and conflict of interest. The US people are funding his plans to get to mars and play astronaut while the rest of the country burns.
