"Bannon has ideological goals; Musk has personal, vaguely psychosexual desires. If the federal government was going to be run by one of these guys for a year, it would be better for everyone if it was Bannon."

What makes me mad is when I was still on Twitter, I spent all my time arguing with MAGA about Steve Bannon. Ppl would tell ne " he's in prison " or " old news he's no one " implying he wasn't in the picture anymore. So why are we talking about him again?
NEVER thought that I would root for Bannon to be closer to trump and musk. LOL we already saw how incompetent Bannon really was. Musk is dangerous in so many ways that we haven't even figured out yet
THE WORST effort by The Bulwark to date.
Talk about a distraction from EVERYTHING we face right now!
And to actually offer readers a WINNER in that horror show.
No matter what happens, both are the enemies of democracy.
Trump may keep only one publicly; the other will be unleashed on the world.
It’s amazing how quickly it went from “I’m not voting because neither of the options are good” to the two worst possible people fighting for influence and control over our government.
Stop associating evil people with “neurodivergent” Most ND people have a strong sense of justice and desire for egalitarian. People can be evil by choice or at most they’re Narcissists and/or sociopaths who never heard “No” or refuse to hear it. Personality disorders are also not a form of ND
Well of course. 🙄 I did not say 'all neurodivergent people are evil.' I have a whole family of neurodivergent people, last time I checked they weren't evil. Just saying Musk is one.
You may posses nuance because of your life experience. Most people do not and paint with broad brushes. They make associations and apply them everywhere.
This and the only proof I’ve ever seen of Mysk’s ND is his admirers defending him from criticism despite the fact they regularly harass & bully people who are different. There can be a lot of causes of awkwardness that aren’t ND.
Ancient Greek mythology has a good tale for this choice. In Homer’s Odyssey, Odysseus must pass between Charybdis, a treacherous whirlpool, and Scylla, a horrid man-eating, cliff-dwelling monster. Take your pick as to which is Charybdis and which is Scylla.
Machiavellian. One is a blabbering lunatic while the other is a blathering idiot. In Musks defense, they already spent his money. I’m sure if he were bankrolling Stevie four shirts, Stevie would be whistling a different tune, or not saying anything at all. It’s not like either one is principled.
This is the worst kind of mechanical journalism. There’s no way Bannon is better than anyone to do anything besides make up insane conspiracies and crate a new breed of ultra psychotic fascism. Musk isn’t worse than that, he’s no different at all. His insanity simply expresses itself differently.
No. It would not. Because Bannon's goals are to destroy the existing governmental structures, not to "run" them. And he's smarter than Musk. And he has a team of allies here. And global connections.
I trust Bannon about as far as I can throw him. Now he’s talking about how important diversity is? Like…he has been a racist ass for years. Where did that come from?

Musk is just out for himself
I go with Robert Reich, the biggest threat now is the uber wealthy that seem to have no end to their ambitions. We can do this without the racism.
