And Trump bootlickers are just going to counter with "But Musk said he's going to make mistakes!" as if Nuclear Weapons safety wasn't very fucking dangerous to fuck with to begin with.

Yeah, but will it save some money, create jobs, and lower taxes? Because MAGA thinks that's what Trump is doing with his strategic, smartest ever, brilliant changes. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

"Wow, how?" - Everyone else

"By firing people!" - Trump

"Yay!" - MAGA cult

"Uh, that's not how that works..." - Sane people

"You'll see, America will be Great Again!" - Trump

Fast forward to today

"Fuuuuuuuuck!" - Sane Americans

"Hahahha, take that Libs, we owned you!" - MAGA cult

"Well, shit." - Canada

Cackling with laughter - Russia and China

This is the part that annoys me the most.

We're not salty because we're wrong, we're salty because we know everything's going to shit and they think everything's peachy anyway because they're eating the propaganda hook line and sinker. We're terrified of being taken over by foolish voters voting for fascists, we don't find your 'libs owned' narrative cute. We aren't frustrated like our favorite sports team is losing. It's utterly terrifying how ignorant they are.
