    Bezos could single handedly destroy a city And Musk actually did this with Boca Chica.

    Also the power to launch a nuclear strike is shockingly consolidated. The president can if they decide to, and they’d likely get positive support from military command.

    Anyways, I’m in full agreement even if I’m poking at your examples and metaphors.

      Last i heard military murican command on the news, the vibe was “That’s not quite true.”
      There’s a whole bunch of steps for that to happen and no guarantees the chain of command would acquiesce, given the orange clown is in the white house.
