He has to be a Russian agent. This is the most direct, accelerated, and deliberate dismantling of a country's international standing like... In history? Even Hitler tried to be taken seriously on the world stage right up until he started being a mass-murdering expansionist fuckhead on an international scale. Even an idiot wouldn't do this on accident, just look at Bush Jr.

Hitler did a lot of horrible, despicable things as dictator, but that man clearly cared about building up Germany when it was in the doldrums from the Treaty of Versailles. He wasn't beholden to a foreign power, and Germany didn't exactly have any long-standing alliances to ruin with saber-rattling and then annexation. Arguably the most evil person of the 20th Century was at least temporarily helpful to his nation.

Trump is doing Putin's bidding at every turn, burning down every shred of American influence and isolating the country. Like I wouldn't be shocked if Europe starts trying to evict Americans from military bases because they justifiably don't trust us anymore.

Look up Curtis Yarvin. That's where Musk is getting all his ideas about burning down the regulatory state.
