Honestly this is just propaganda in action paying off. decades of anti-education rhetoric have some people literally believing partisan political commentators are more trustworthy than the academic community.

It's the core of why we are where we are.

It’s what Musk and the techno-fascists want, to destroy universities, so that they can control the populace. These nerd are just absolutely sure that they’re better equipped to rule than anyone else. I find it very telling that the can only take control if everyone is uneducated.

I doubt theres anything more to what they (Trump & Musk) are doing than just growing their own wealth.

I doubt they have any master plan about controlling people - they are already in control. Now it's about the money. Decimate government departments, cut state funding, and then find ways of funnelling into their personal funds. It's so shallow it's repulsive. But it's definitely not smart and it's definitely not a surprise.

Argh...... I'm not even American and I am so angry about it.

Musk is so unbelievably wealthy, I think it's grown boring for him. Yes, more money is good, but what they want now is power and influence.
