TRUMP – The God of Money
Donald John Trump has achieved it all: President of the United States, but already for the second time.
Why is that?
I have a possible explanation.
Consider how churches work. Now consider all the equivalents of “God” in these religions. You can see that today’s society is not much different with money.
Money is god.
And there’s the duality of the market and the state.
Elon and Donald.
Sometimes they love each other, sometimes they hate each other.
Yin-yang of bromance and absolute bitches.
From now on, we will endure a constant up and down, like a sine curve. The richest man and the most powerful man in the world, rich and powerful, like Jack and Jill.
But Donald has one big advantage, at least so far: He owns the Federal Reserve, but Elon doesn’t even have a proper bank.
Elon just has a single family office called “Excession LLC”. That name "Excession" comes from the 1996 science fiction novel Excession by Iain M. Banks. In the novel, an excession is an incomprehensibly powerful and mysterious object—something vastly beyond the technological or intellectual capabilities of most civilizations. Musk, a fan of Banks' Culture series, likely chose the name to reflect ambition or control over complex, high-level systems.
I find it confusing that Musk doesn’t own a bank yet. He doesn’t seem to realize where actual wealth lays.
But also, when Musk has his own bank, probably he will cause so much inflation because he will produce money infinitely (not by printing money, but by issuing loans), leading to a worldwide economic crisis. Hooray!
