    It would seem the oligarchs support fascism.

    Is anyone surprised?

    TIL Musk didn’t already publicly declare it. The guy has been acting the part for a long time already.

    Anyone Elon Musk dislikes is a friend of mine.

    Anyone Elon Musk likes is my enemy.

    Anyone else remember when Trump walked into a room of hyper-wealthy donors and said something like, “I just saved all of you a LOT of money!” after his Tex cuts were signed into law? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

        I think they’re implying that if MAGAts are idiots and execs can be MAGAts, some execs are therefore idiots.
