Do not fight a bully; surrendering to him is better
إبراهيم جلال فضلون (1)

"If you cannot fight a bully, surrendering is the best way," summarizes the events of the relationship between the two adversaries (Trump the ruler and the hypothetical ruler Musk), as expressed by Jeff Bezos. You may never be listed among the most famous great journalists, but you will live to fight the battle another day. 

Just as Musk previously laid off thousands of employees at Twitter (now known as X), which some describe as "chaotic"—with drastic staff reductions and a restructuring of the company—when the blue bird, carrying a kitchen sink, entered, he repeated this act hours after Trump’s victory confirmation, publishing a fake image of himself inside the Oval Office while once again holding a kitchen sink! This indicates the potential for tens of thousands of government employees to lose their jobs under Donald Trump, specifically 75% of federal government employees. Musk's experience in reducing platform staff represents a model that could be applied to the federal government, which many see as "draining the swamp" of bureaucracy. This is something that Ram Asvami, a former Republican presidential candidate, described as a "healthy evolution." This could happen through the re-implementation of Trump’s executive order "Schedule F," which removes job protections from certain civil servants.

Experts warn that Musk's appointment to a high position could weaken essential regulatory agencies, and with Trump’s victory... the opportunity is ripe for Musk to direct federal spending. Musk, who leads a group of major global companies such as SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and the X platform, is now closer to stronger ties with the White House administration, which will benefit from massive contracts worth billions of dollars and tax incentives, along with federal regulations that may positively impact his businesses.

Indeed, as Trump described it: “a shock” to the U.S. government system, seeking to reap "risky gains," where the greatest danger to the American nation emerges, far from ISIS, terrorist organizations, and others, in the Middle East, which has collapsed due to the actions and lies of Freemasonry and selfish America, including its leaders. Trump’s arrival seems to be paving the way for another dictator like Musk, as if Musk took it as a phase or manipulated a chess piece as he moved the space world with his companies, aiming for control of the White House and America. Strangely enough, however, Musk cannot be controlled; he doesn’t like orders as Trump does, so will he respond and submit to that? He has already done so, being domineering in achieving his intended goal. 

It’s as if I am watching a film about Freemasonry, composed of a single phrase on "X," "Ministry of Government Efficiency," followed by another post, "Threat to Democracy? Of course not... it’s a threat to bureaucracy." His choice to lead the new "Government Efficiency Agency" has sparked widespread debate due to what may be seen as a conflict of interest. However, he interpreted the situation better, transforming in a surreal moment from one of Trump’s moderate critics to a literal advocate of the long-standing president, secretly displaying childlike joy at being part of the mob since the moment he carried a kitchen sink in his hand.

Musk has imposed himself as a judge of the opinions of 350 million people or more after supporting Trump with nearly $119 million and hosting him in an exclusive interview on his social media platform "X." This way, he triumphs somehow in the chaotic space he has created, as if all major media outlets evoke an obsessive disgust and are of no value compared to that platform, making all media a disgrace while he controls matters more and turns the chess pieces to his liking, becoming an increasing threat due to his relationship with the new president and his controversial communications with Russia, along with his growing political and economic influence through his companies.

Undoubtedly, it is a ludicrously exaggerated idea, reminding us of our finest Arab films, but virtually presented. Nonetheless, there is something in common between the personalities of Trump and Musk, as two traders—the first an administrative real estate developer and the other a technical manager, as director Armando Ianucci seized this moment to launch a theatrical version of the classic horror-comedy film "Dr. Strangelove," which dates back to the Cold War, featuring a U.S. Air Force general suffering from paranoia who believes that adding fluoride to the U.S. water supply is a Soviet conspiracy aimed at poisoning Americans. He then orders the bombing of Moscow, putting the world on a path towards nuclear annihilation. 

In a similar way, the new rulers of the world may place our humanity in reality at risk of a covert war whose extent we will only know through upcoming events. 

However, the pressing question now is: who will control whom? Or who will depose whom? Will we reach the point of assassinating one to allow the other to govern? Musk may be
