absolutely batshit crazy levels of delusion.

does the richest man in the world think... the "resistance" is... tech billionaires?

does he believe the group recklessly wielding sweeping executive powers, directing raids of homes and schools, imprisoning, threatening, black bag kidnapping dissenters off the street, and deploying the military to the borders.... that they are the resistance?!

i know playing the victim is a standard gaslighting fascist rhetorical maneuver... but if he really thinks of himself as a "rebel" outsider. god help us. this man's continued metabolic equilibrium puts us all in grave danger.

No one believes themselves to be villains. Hollywood has ruined everybody with their black and white delineations between “good” and “evil”. And of course, we as a whole have eaten up the lie; Musk claiming to be the resistance - in my eyes - proves this.

To be fair, one of the points of the Hunger Games was that the rebels were just as bad as the Capitol. Maybe that's the resistance he identifies with.
