    This is fake. I mean, fuck the guy, but he didn’t say that. This is the actual screenshot before the edit.

      Well yeah, USA being able to run such a huge deficit was definitely related to countries around the world trusting/respecting/fearing them. So now that that’s gone, bankruptcy is indeed on the table.

      And it was Trump who caused it. I’m sure Elon helped.

        Honestly? No, not entirely.

        Those crawls at the bottom of the screen can be written in a way that take liberties in order to get a viewer’s attention.

        Plus the guy saluted on national TV. He also tried pinning the Twitter hack on Ukraine. I put almost nothing past him.

        In this reality we live in? It was better for me to spell out that it is indeed a joke before someone else takes it seriously.

        Satire is entirely dead so probably not. However it’s him and his MAGA buddies that killed it so I’m totally fine with them paying for it with some misinformation.

      I think if this immigrant wants to stay in our country he should have to pony up his billions to help with the deficit. He can make more of a difference than literally anyone else.
