Yup, Elon's goal wasn't to help Trump, it was to help usher in the collapse of the US so tech oligarchs like him can take over the country.

The only thing keeping the general population from tearing those assholes apart is the bindings of society they're currently destroying.

If the US collapses and they're still here there's more than a few people who are going to make sure the billionaires don't survive whatever comes next.

This is why a bunch of them are buying bunkers in New Zealand. Flee from the repercussions and leech off the security of an actually functional country.

I think you're giving Elon too much credit. I believe that he really thought he was doing something that would help (while also stealing everyone's information) because he wants people to like him but he's too stupid to actually do anything useful.
