This is why they’re giving more tax breaks, incentives, and contracts to their co-conspirators. Tesla sales dropped? Looks like Grok needs another $200B to integrate with and optimize air traffic control. If Congress doesn’t turn off the spigot (it won’t be this Congress, that’s assured) and the courts don’t hobble his efforts the only thing left is to stop sending money to DC.
Individually no, that won’t fly. An entire state would have to take the extraordinary measure to stop the transfer of funds to the federal government (also not gonna go off without a hitch) or the black market economy needs to take off.
Oh, no, that stuff sounds scarier than traditional fascism. You can avoid giving Microsoft or Amazon money but the government gets it’s hands on your money before you do. If the Federal government is working against you you need to find ways to sustain yourself without giving them money.
