This quote from @samknightwrites.bsky.social's article on Cummings has stuck with me because it's so much more accurate than what normally gets said about America's system and it came from a freaking Brexiter. https://www.liberalcurrents.com/elon-musk-is-working-his-hardest-to-make-a-chinese-century/

I think some rich and powerful people who don't like Musk or Trump but don't want to risk their necks are willing to sacrifice being a big fish in a first rate country for being a big one in a third rate country, but many don't realize that's the trade https://www.liberalcurrents.com/elon-musk-is-working-his-hardest-to-make-a-chinese-century/

Do NOT relent on the messaging that Musk is killing American children, because that is going to be one immediately consequence of their actions https://www.liberalcurrents.com/elon-musk-is-working-his-hardest-to-make-a-chinese-century/

Everything Musk does is approved of by Trump and Vance.

The rot is in the soul of the American body politic, and I think the future mediocrity is long past baked in.

I can't believe something so fatalistic. Agree that obviously Musk isn't the *only* problem though I'd argue he's the most important short term one. And thinking of what comes next is too far off. But I believe we can rebuild https://www.liberalcurrents.com/an-american-reconstruction/
