The reality is that US government has always been a private club for the billionaire class, they just used to have the decency to hide it behind closed doors. Musk’s real crime is skipping the velvet rope and letting us all see the sausage being made. Bravo, Elon, for finally making oligarchy transparent.
I’d argue that Trump and Musk are exposing how the system actually works to millions of people and disabusing them of the delusions about democracy. I very much agree that the job for communists is to leverage disillusionment, and to help people see this as a systemic problem.
