there is a real answer to "who is the richest man on earth right now" and it's either MBS or Putin, and if Trump continues along the path of personally annexing portions of the US state, it will be him.

he can put that absurd pay package up as collateral to get more debt, but at that point he's just conning a bank into giving him their assets. this is fraud. any bank that goes with it is abdicating their responsibility.

"musk is a trillionaire he could be using that money for good" he is not a trillionaire. he does not have that money. at absolute most, he has a low dozens of billions in realisable liquid cash.

the primary reason rightwingers will never control culture is because everything they do is hinged upon it being a reaction to the broader culture. the TPUSA half time event would not exist without it being a representation of their grievences

It’d be more accurate to say Starmer was elected by lying like fuck to audience after audience about his intentions, and it looks very much like a big chunk of the press were very well aware that he was lying and declined to inform the public. In that sense, yes, Streeting is the natural successor.
