In addition to parroting Putin, Trump’s storm of angry lies about Ukraine is no doubt part of his pressure campaign to extort half a trillion in Ukrainian mineral rights he can dole out to his cronies. Corruption is usually behind the curtain.

While Musk’s rampage has been feverishly covered, the scope of its impact remains largely underappreciated. Experts say it can’t be measured in weeks or months or even in government services affected. It will be felt over the span of decades.
