I can see what you're saying, but at this point Elon is the most powerful person in the US, and certainly more powerful than any politician (even Trump).
I don't think everyone realizes how unbelievably, dangerously rich Elon is. The dude is a moron, but he has enough money to buy out all of our politicians many many times over.
Sadly I didn't take that into account...
Elon might have the world's most kickable-dick, but his money spends just like anyone else's. Only difference is he has a lot more of it, it's his googolplex to our zilch and that's not good. How'd he even get that rich, I know he had an Emerald Mine, but fuck was it a Chaos Emerald mine or some shit?
