Hill Op-Ed posits Trump-Musk feud might "break" America

I think all it would break is their unholy influence. Don't tempt me with a good time.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/opinion-trump-musk-bromance-breaking-183000256.html

When billionaires feud, the repercussions rarely stay confined to their personal disputes. Both Musk and Trump command vast influence, shaping entire industries, political ideologies and cultural movements. A public falling out between these two powerhouses risks exacerbating existing societal divides, potentially stalling progress in crucial areas of innovation and policy.

-SNIP-

Musk’s legion of tech-savvy futurists, who hail him as a modern-day Tony Stark, pitted against Trump’s loyal traditionalists, who view him as the guardian of American values. Such a schism would not only deepen ideological fractures but also risk turning cultural and policy debates into entrenched battlegrounds, paralyzing collaboration.

The richest country in the history of the world.
The most successful modern democracy in the world.
The most powerful country in the world.

And the citizens seem hellbent on destroying it.
