Trump’s $2.2 billion in personal earnings during his presidency has been met largely with silence from his MAGA base,
which has been increasingly willing to revolt against policies they view as an abandonment of his promises to put everyday Americans first.

Does anyone else have the foreboding thought that this SpaceX IPO is that pivotal moment that defines America's transition into new phase of autocratic rule or a true American oligarchy? The impending transfer of wealth into some of the world's worst people has me really worried. I think the only hope is that it gets so bad that it ends in a people's revolt.
