The reason we are getting destruction of the government and no plan for what governance we need is because Musk and Trump see the power of the presidency as a means not to governence but to private gain.
Neither Trump nor Musk want to be president. It is only a means to what they do want.
Trump wants to turn the world into a real estate deal-making zone, so he wants to convert politics into a market where he can buy and sell and trade and get richer.
Musk wants to destroy the government that exists to free up the tax money that supports them so he can use that money to get to Mars and get a leadingplace in history.
The rest of us are left without a government. History suggests that it is time for a new constitutional convention, but in the context of climate change, it will be very hard to do.
