Big corporations own both parties to some extent, but this is complete capture of government by the billionaires. Democracy is gone. Musk will cut whatever he feels "He" doesn't care about, Trump will go along because he's got dementia, and the House Republicans will eventually vote to make it all legal.
In another year or so, we will hear Trump demanding his lackeys come up with a plan for him to run for a 3rd term. By then, voter suppression in the Red states will be ramped up to 11 (with Supreme Court approval) so that no-one with the wrong skin color can disrupt their white nationalist takeover.
There’s already a plan. Trump can’t run for a third term, but he can serve a third term. Like this:
Vance gets the nomination and chooses Trump as his running mate. Vance wins, immediately resigns, and Trump is elevated to the Presidency (the relevant amendment says that no person can be elected to more than two terms).
