I Look at Elon Musk, and I See a Failing Autocrat
I look at Elon Musk, and I see Donald Trump.
I tracked broken norms and our near descent into authoritarianism during the Trump era, and I find the similarities between these two men astounding.

I sounded the alarm for authoritarianism in 2016, and I am sounding it again
On January 20, 2021 we were finally able to exhale, believing our near brush with authoritarianism was behind us, and that with President Joe Biden taking office, our country and political system would return to normalcy. The ensuing months proved otherwise. Elected Republicans continually questioned the 2020 election results, and attempted to rewrite history, including casting the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol as a mere “tourist visit.” Rep. Liz Cheney, a critic of former President Donald Trump, was removed from House leadership and replaced by a loyalist, Rep. Elise Stefanik.

AFTER (January)
I am grateful, with all your input, to have continued this project through inauguration. Since I started tracking Donald Trump in November 2016, I have posited that he cared about two things: making money and staying in power; admittedly, events in this final list caught even me by surprise.
