on the body the huberous is located. I think it’s an excellent name for a body part but I digress . .

I don’t think Musk is a fall guy. I think it’s pretty simple really. Trump loves him some money and he found the biggest pile on the planet. But he doesn’t like work, or thinking, or learning stuff. He needs somebody to actually do the mucking around while he plays golf. For his part, Musk couldn’t ask for a better setup. He gets to throw around levers of power, steal the most valuable data sets on the planet, milk foreign dignitaries and the US govt. for contracts and set himself up as a sacred totem of maga. A strong US government is a terrible impediment to his dreams of being a superpower unto himself. He was running out of time, turns out, all he had to do was hire a president.

On a side note: the fact that Musk is able to spend so much time with Trump proves conclusively - he’s not a genius.
