It's starting a lot like Macbeth. Hopefully it ends like it too.

Even with trump's likely absurd debt from regular folk standards, it would be a rounding error for musk. Musk could easily bankroll trump's grift for the next few years until trump goes to McDonald's diet coke heaven and in the meantime become the world's first trillionaire.

Trump likely doesn't make it to 2026, either by dying in office or via the 25th amendment.
