Nothing Stops This Train?
Don't Trust, Verify
Elon Musk in 3 acts.
Act 1:
In 2021 Elon tried to appease the Democrats by paying the largest tax bill of all time - quite a bit more than he actually needed to pay. He verified that you could not tax your way out of the overwhelming debt problem.
Act 2:
In 2024/25 Elon tried to appease the Republicans by campaigning for Trump, forming DOGE, and suggesting a narrow possible path where we could cut our way out of the debt problem. He verified that the right only gives lip service to fiscal conservatism.
Act 3:
Elon has been well aware of libertarian/bitcoiner arguments for a long time. But he needed to verify that in fact the system could not be fixed from the inside, he has now done that. I believe Elon will now turn towards the only actual solution to the problem - Bitcoin.
