"Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interest, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions." -- Founding father Thomas Paine (2/9/1737 - 6/8/1809), in his influential 1776 work "Common Sense."
The words of Paine are prophetic when considering former bros the Malignant Fascist and South Afrikaner druggie Elon "Leon" Musk. Both have minds warped by their megalomania, narcissism, bigotry and thirst for money and power. The MF in particular fits the characterization of "the most ignorant and unfit" to serve at the highest levels of government, while Musk's chainsaw approach displayed his lack of curiosity and concern for the people and projects he and his DOGEbags decimated.
