The nerd from accounting. Spoiler of dogs, lover of select people, digger of gardens, plinker of piano and plunker of bass, sometimes tinkerer and always learner. I care deeply about democracy.
Of course, thereβs more:
Trumpβs National Security Adviser Michael Waltz and his team used personal Gmail for government business.
One of Waltzβs top aides even sent highly sensitive military dataβpositions, weapons systems, and war intelβover Gmail.
But Hillaryβs emails are the real scandal.

This is just further evidence that for Elon the world is full of NPCs and he can hardly wait until he gets to Level Apocalypse. Except IRL he's just a dorked-up Zorg.

This would maybe have worked in the 1950s. Problem is, colonization has gutted those societies and left their systems corrupt and vulnerable to other bad actors like China and Russia. We can't just drop them like we did Afghanistan. They need proactive, long-term help, which is costly.

This underfunding is, IMO, the original sin that left our systems vulnerable to Musk's attacks.
