Elon Musk Will Become a Central Figure for Democrats in 2028

But Elon Musk makes me feel a little better about that. While Trump will be out of office for good by the end of his term and, due to his age, may not have that long of a runway left, Musk is still young, highly influential, and something of a memlord with a lot of what we internet denizens like to call "f**k you money." 

Trump is currently the most influential person in the world. There's no getting around that, but once he's gone, it'll be Musk, and it won't matter who takes the Oval Office afterward. In fact, I sometimes wonder if it's not him already. 

If you even tossed aside every single other business he owns and you only boiled it down to X, his influence is felt far and wide and in ways that both terrify and enrage global leaders. Well, the ones that want authoritarian control to a degree that is antithetical to Western values. They try to find a new reason to limit X's reach in European countries every Tuesday. 

In my last article, I detailed how Democrats are trying their absolute best to kick-start a riot over the death of Renee Good, the woman who was shot when she attempted to use her car to harm an ICE agent.

If this were five or six years ago, it might've worked. In fact, Democrats might have had a few riots under their belts after the last BLM, but thanks to Musk's X, this has become a tough thing to do. The narratives that used to be fostered on Twitter that helped foment these riots across the nation and galvanize Democrat votes died the moment Musk purchased it and turned it into the social media platform you know and love/hate today. 

Facts and stories that were once actively censored (and at the behest of a Democrat administration, no less) now roam freely online thanks to X, and now, the lie can't travel the world three times while the truth gets its pants on, because the truth can just post while it's still under the duvet. 

In fact, a lot of Democrat narratives can't seem to find purchase, as most Democrat narratives go, they can only survive in an information vacuum. Once put, it's dragged kicking and screaming into the light to be scrutinized by a free society with a free flow of information; it looks pretty silly. 

The January 6 memorial circus from last week is a very good example of this. 

The only solution is to bring censorship back, and that means Elon Musk has to go. If they can bring him down, then the world will be ripe for the pickin's again. 

This is exactly what Medhi Hasan proposed last week. 

"The next Democratic president has to be ruthless... [they] should run on a plan to prosecute Elon Musk... there has to be accountability... the [next] Democratic president has to put the fear of God into their Republican opponents" - me

Hasan blames Musk for the Somali embezzling scandal being exposed and believes that the next Democrat presidential candidate should run on a platform of prosecuting Musk, and that anyone who does will shoot straight to the top of the list. 

I'll be honest, I don't think he's wrong. I think any Democrat who does promise this won't just win favor with radicals in the party; they'll get endorsements from important Democrats, and most importantly, large amounts of donations from donors. 

I think Musk will become a central focus. He's too much of a liability for the Democrat Party, and with Trump out of the way, they'll need a new lightning rod for their narratives, and Musk will fit the bill. The closer he drifts to being a trillionaire, the more the narrative will strengthen, too, and he's definitely on his way to being one.

But no matter what excuse they give, it'll be the collapse of X that's the true goal. 

Mark my words. You're about to witness an all-out assault on Musk that might make the one on Trump look tame.
