Turns out the UFO cover-up was real—just not the aliens part. Since the 1950s, the U.S. military has been feeding America fake UFO stories to hide new spy planes and other new technologies from Russia. We lost public trust, fed a conspiracy culture—and ended up with Trump. Great trade.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

The best thing about the Trump/Musk beef is the threat to nationalize SpaceX. If only there were a government agency dedicated to building spacecraft 🙃
