Plan A is certainly staying in power, absolute power, in the US.

Plan B might be escaping prosecution for corruption, pedophilia, rape, ... but still with a bigliest bank account.

This is madjo's complete lack of surprise. As soon as he announced his stupid board of piece of shits I knew it was another grift. That money was always going to go into his own bank account, because he only became president to stay out of jail and to make himself rich, and the republicans will just excuse this away as they have with all the other corruption that's been happening from the Soiled House.

The US is a failed experiment.

Why bother with this grift when you can just nationalize Elons companies and then gift them to yourself?

No he isn't.

The last year has proven that the Epstein class is untouchable here in the US. They may have to make some kind of symbolic gesture, like Larry Summers' resignation, but that's all it'll be.

And all Democrats will offer is sternly-worded letters in "opposition".

Perhaps ShellMonkey means that they themselves are preparing to flee the US

He's mentally impaired. A malignant and grandiose narcissist wants more money, attention, fame, and so on for themselves no matter what they have.

You mean the East Wing where they used to molest all the children? Demolished so all the evidence is gone. Many boys, particularly during the Bush era, could explain in intricate detail what the rooms looked like, how many stars were on the ceiling, describing the moldings. It is common to dissociate when getting molested and hyper focus on your surroundings.

Nah, I would see it like another commented, plan A is taking over as a full dictator, but failing that he would likely try and run to avoid any punishment.

Elon's companies aren't actually worth anything though. Their perceived value is from people believing Elon's blowhard lies.

He might look it, but not feel it. There's a LOT of eyes looking at the big chair and saying "wow Trump is doing a shitty job, I could easily do better if only he'd move out of the way."

Just imagine how all of this will read in the history books.

Also, let's recontextualize how much money $10 billion is, because written like that it just feels like "yeah big number idk"

If you started spending $100k every day, which is a decent amount of money to spend in a day, starting right now, how long would it take you to reach $10B? Take a second, guesstimate in your head.

answer

274 years. At a full $1M per day, that's still 27.4 years to reach $10,000,000,000
