   Elon Musk and his fascist friends now have control over government payment systems and databases that, if misused, could destroy countless lives.

   To call this a clear and present danger to the nation understates the case.

     Is “digital coup” a thing? Because it smells like it’s about to be.

     Few are willing to use the word coup. But make no mistake; this is a “soft” coup with potentially enormous negative impacts.
