   Anyone thinking this Trump/Musk lovefest is going to last long needs to think again. Biggest setup for a punchline everyone can see coming in the history of bad jokes. #politics #Trump #Musk

     @WarnerCrocker I care abt Elmo's affection for Trump bec it gives #Trump an unlimited war chest to do evil thru chaos, a common goal to both #Musk

     Much more concerning is Elmo's reaction to his first time feeling the heady addictive #power of crowd approval. He's never been on a stage wi that level of police and reporter attention #uspol

     He's a mentally unstable man with addiction problems. Nothing is more addictive than adulation

     He's going to rig access to more, like Heinrich Himmler #nazi

     @3x10to8mps Yup. Things will burn brighter and hotter for awhile, but in the end the heat will consume them both.

     @3x10to8mps It may not happen soon enough to prevent mass pain and suffering, but history and mytholgy prove that all wanna-be super-villians who think they are super heroes end up as burnt toast in the end.

     @tantramar Sadly, lots of cloudy mornings before we will see that one.

     @WarnerCrocker You know that's interesting to consider. We don't have a reference point for evil winning all

     I am of two minds: on one hand, the pendulum always swings back. Everything has been cyclical across history to this point

     But man is not inherently good despite what religion and art says. We're just another species here, and capable of illogical self-damaging behaviors that other species don't do

     So I don't have your faith at this moment that might be a brand new inflection point 🙁

     @3x10to8mps I think these two will collapse in like all others evntually do. Whether or not that leads to an inflection point, as you say, history doesn’t suggest so. The story of the long arc of justice is a good one, but it is by an large a story given the duality of human nature IMHO
