    Elon’s playing capitalist Jenga with the last guardrail protecting peasants from loan sharks. Shocking. The CFPB’s $20B consumer clawback merely proves how systemic the grift is – that number’s a rounding error compared to Wall Street’s annual looting spree. Libertarians always rage against the one regulator occasionally doing its job while ignoring the Fed’s permanent corporate welfare spigot.

    Billionaire death cultists want us to believe consumer protections hinder “innovation.” Translation: letting payday lenders algorithmically repo kidneys would boost GDP. Democracy’s just the AI-generated hologram masking oligarchy’s firmware update.
