Elon Musk is Trump’s Rasputin. This will not end well
I only know I have this power. I have always had this power. I can feel it burning within me, driving me on. — Grigori Rasputin
Elon Musk not Donald J. Trump is currently running the United States of America. That this unelected ketamine-addled rogue billionaire and child of apartheid South Africa, has managed to inveigle his way into the corridors of power in Washington; this says much about the state of the republic in the year 2025.
Under the guise of his self-styled Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — something right out of George Orwell’s classic dystopian novel 1984 — Musk is currently rampaging around Washington with gleeful abandon, barging his way into various government departments, demanding access to classified files while announcing on his X platform that some should be closed down. All he needs is a leather trench coat and long leather boots to complete the picture.
Building rockets that don’t work and electric cars that go nowhere, the man is an evil genius straight out of a 007 script. Along with his ownership of the largest and most popular social media platform in the world, Elon Musk is living proof that money controls everything in this world, up to and including presidents and countries.
