The article critiques the recent actions of Elon Musk and Donald Trump, emphasizing a concerning trend in U.S. politics where extreme proposals become normalized. Musk's dismissal of USAid and Trump's controversial Gaza plan—proposing the removal of its population and U.S. control—have left both political elites and the public reeling. The dialogue now accepts previously unthinkable scenarios as viable options, raising alarms about foreign policy and military interventions that mirror past calamities, highlighting a shift towards reckless governance and discourse that places American lives in jeopardy.
"Elon Musk bragged that he was feeding the life-saving USAid international development agency into the wood chipper, and yet that was not even the most outrageous event of the week."
"He's not just opened that window, but smashed the glass, knocked out the frame and taken out the wall that used to hold it. Now everything is thinkable and, therefore, permissible."
