Trump is the closest with the populist appeal and the loyal base. Elon Musk has transformative vision like Octavian.
Discussion
Elon may also be the only one with the appeal and resources to reinstate order should a civil war follow Trump's death, whether natural or by assassination, just like Octavian. And yes, he is clearly equally willing to redesign Rome as the younger, adopted heir of the late leader.
Interesting. So Elon is Augustus.
What do you think is more likely. Civil war, natural or assassination for T ?
To answer with a question: has Elon realized this himself?
That a vial of poison in Trump's slushy is already enough to trigger the civil war that makes the Musks our Emperors? That all he needs is a bit more power and borrowed legitimacy before pulling the trigger?
Has he known that for a while?
If not, Caesar was murdered by the parts of the establishment that had supported his ambitions when they realized he was serious about D.O.G.E.
Just sayin'
He does tend to gravitate as close to power as possible… I’d say it’s a 60/40 wether he knows or not.
