Elon Musk, the controversial billionaire who famously acquired Twitter (and renamed it X) in 2022 and purportedly wished to protect free speech there, amplified a post over Labor Day weekend that called for democracy itself to be replaced — with a group of “high status males.”

Musk remarked of the post Sunday: “Interesting observation.”

The comical screed was originally written on 4chan — the anonymous message board whose users have been responsible for high-profile hacking scandals, celebrity nudes and election interference — and was shared as a screenshot on X by the right-wing account Autism Capital.

[…]

“Only high T alpha males and aneurotypical people (hey autists!) are actually free to parse new information with an objective ‘is this true?’ filter,” it added. “This is why a Republic of high status males is best for decision making.”

The post concluded: “Democratic, but a democracy only for those who are free to think.”

So only those with money know how to run government, it is not only Musk but also…

Why America’s plutocrats are lining up to pay Trump's legal bills

It’s simple: Keeping Trump out of jail is cheaper than paying their fair share

During his first presidential run back in 2016, Donald Trump’s credibility as a “populist” rested largely on the fact that he was a billionaire. Unlike his opponents, who he accused of being “controlled” by their donors, the New York real estate developer claimed to be entirely self-funded and therefore free from any kind of outside influence. “I don’t need anybody’s money,” he bragged at his announcement in 2015, where he disparaged his opponents as mere puppets to plutocrats like himself. 

This was a paradoxical yet also powerful message that ultimately helped propel the billionaire to victory.n. Trump’s Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, embodied the Washington establishment and had a long history of courting big donors to fund her political career. This made her particularly vulnerable to his attacks. While Trump could claim with some credibility to funding his own campaign, there was little doubt that Clinton was the preferred candidate of the donor class. Big donors weren’t necessarily thrilled with the prospect of a Clinton presidency, but most considered Trump too much of a wild card to get behind. In any case, few thought he had any chance of winning. 

Fast-forward to the present, and Trump is no longer the outsider that he was back in 2016. Though still something of a wild card (for democracy, at least), many of America’s economic elite are no longer filled with the kind of trepidation that they had about him eight years ago. And unlike in 2016, Trump is heading into his third consecutive run for president as the clear favorite in the polls. 

There is another major difference in Trump this year that has become increasingly obvious in recent weeks as the former president has struggled to pay his legal fees and other costs related to his ongoing criminal and civil trials. Trump no longer appears to be the financially independent anti-politician that he was in 2016. Indeed, if any candidate appears to be desperate for big donor cash this year, it is Donald Trump.

Now “The Donald” is beholden to all the billionaires who are paying his bills… the selling of the Presidency to the highest bidder.

We cannot let the billionaires buy this election for Trump! Vote Blue and avoid all this drama!
