#ElonMusk bought Twitter/X for $44 billion, and it lost 80% of its value within 2 years. He evaporated almost $1.5 billion per month. This is the “genius” running the US now.

I am dealing with someone like Trump: controlling, manipulative, dishonest, vengeful, defamatory, conflicts of interest, plays victim when they don't get their way, thinks "I alone can fix it" when asked to step aside, pivots immediately to a new attack when the first doesn't work. It's exhausting.
