    Oh, I don't expect bankruptcy to actually impoverish Muskrat, corporate BK doesn't touch his personal wealth, and even if that was somehow attached, I'm sure he has plenty of money stashed in offshore numbered accounts in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland.  It's mainly the symbolism involved.  His reputation as an "influencer" is already tarnished, and that's a good start.

    Far as AIM goes, the standoff with the FBI and the persecution of Russell Means and Leonard Peltier are concerned, I'm well aware of all that stuff, even going back to my years in Pirate Radio, when I talked about it on my Talk Show, where I played mainly protest songs from the 60s by Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez et al.

    Has Elon's success been partly engineered by the Deep State?  It's possible, I wouldn't be surprised if it was anyhow.  Doubtful that could ever be proved though, it's another bit of conspiracy theory.  What occured at Wounded Knee however is a matter of public record, including the trial of the AIM leadership which was a total sham.

    One thing also true is you'll never find a tech Billionaire who is truly left wing in his politics, because to get that rich you have to be a capitalist.  You might find one among the ranks of trust fund babies with inherited wealth, but even that I doubt.  You'll find some like Bezos ex-wife who support social programs that have some left wing goals, but they're not anti-capitalist.  They just assuage their guilt by setting up philanthropic organizations so they can claim they help the poor.  It's a nice tax dodge also.

    The main point is the symbolism of icons of capitalism like The Donald and Muskrat failing publicly at the thingthey claim to be geniuses at, which is making money.  Neither of these guys really makes money, they're actually the world's biggest debtors.  The debts are of course all held corporately as commercial paper, so those BKs don't touch their personal wealth.  The Donalds problems are that besides the fact his corporate debt is a big house of cards, he's also liable for criminal penalties for fraud and tax evasion.  That couls bankrupt him personally as well, and all he'd have left is money stashed in offshore accounts.  Musk doesn't have those kind of legal problems as of yet.  Tesla however is swimming in debt.  the only thing keeping them afloat is they are TBTF.  That may not be enough though if the stock price keeps dropping and they don't sell enough carz.
