LETTER: Musk has made government his personal gaming system

To Ozaukee Press:

Elon Musk, in consequence of $277 million in support of a presidential campaign, has a brand new gaming system called the U.S. government.

Features include unrestricted access to the trillions of dollars worth of U.S. government assets, including the personal information of over 300 million human beings. This game can be customized at will. Feel like deleting agencies? Want to fire people arbitrarily and just see what happens? Can things go wrong? Sure, but it’s hungry children, victims of disease and anyone who expects government to deliver the services citizens have paid for who will suffer, not the game players.

The game is an upgrade from the previous version. No annoying checks and balances to constrain the executive. The screen may display tiny pixellated images of a Ron Johnson or Glenn Grothman, but just for laughs, since they have given away their own powers.

Another fun feature of Elon’s game is the chat room where players compete to post the most ludicrous and malicious justifications for their actions. This is where you will see the stories like the one about USAID spending $50 million on condoms.

No need to think these things up yourself either. Right-wing internet trolls and conspiracy theorists provide all the content required.

Elon is playing the game in accelerated doom mode to quickly destroy the conditions for continued human life on this planet. When he gets bored, he will go to Mars.
