Social Security is $63 trillion in the red, and will run massive cash-flow deficits inside a decade. Hence, we’re at the end of the line.

Elon, when this happens, you’ll be thrown to the dogs — just another of Trump’s road kill. Call Rudy to understand the end game. Tesla will be a dirty word. X will be a dirty word. And SpaceX, which seems to be exploding on its own, plus your other government contracts will be terminated. You won’t even be given the chance to write an email explaining what you did of value last week before you’ll be sent one of your own fired for underperformance letters.

Elon, you’re looking at becoming the single greatest flameout in economic history. You will have taken your investor’s money and spent it on, what? Your ego. Can we call this a Ponzi Scheme? Why not. Language, as you’ve shown, is flexible.
