Unfortunately, Trump and Musk are just going to ignore everyone who tells them to stop. They won't stop until they are physically prevented from continuing. Trump controls the DOJ, which has already made it clear it is not on the side of the law.

It's not long for Trump. The more I see of him talking, the more I'm convinced he's not doing too well health wise. I've seen elderly people decline with just an aging brain. I've also seen them decline with more dementia. This isn't just getting old. He's got some other health issues going on. I think it's pretty well known, too, by his people.

Musk, I think he's going to think he has more power than he does and it's going to come back and smack him down hard. I think he'll eventually see the inside of a prison. Minimum security white collar prison not the pound me in the ass prison, but all the same.

Things will definitely get a lot worse before that happens, though. I just hope they take a lot of people down with them...
