Why did Elon Musk Bribe His Way into the White House?

On occasion I am compelled by some outrage to ponder how and why it could be happening. This is one such occasion, and one of the few for which I can report having formed a convincing hypothesis.

The Outrage

Elon Musk bribed his way into the Trump White House, and is calling the shots on where and how tax money should be spent, dismantling programs to combat climate change, disease and pandemic prevention, and government support for millions who need it at home and abroad. Why is he doing this?

My Hypothesis

Musk has persuaded enough politicians and billionaires to help him establish a city on Mars, as insurance against one or more impending global catastrophes (climate change, plastic pollution, loss of biodiversity, pandemics, supervolcanoes, asteroid collisions, etc.) that can render the Earth uninhabitable. They will collectively throw 99.99% of the human race under the bus, so that 0.01% can emigrate to Mars on his fleet of space buses.

Supporting Evidence

1. Musk is determined to realize his "inspirational idea", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT65zFgnHtg

2. He built up SpaceX, Tesla, Solar City, Neuralink, and The Boring Company, which developed some of the technologies needed to build a liveable city on an otherwise hostile planet. SpaceX is building its Starlink constellation of tens of thousands of satellites for global internet, to help fund his Mars ambitions.

3. No Democrat would have gone along with his cockamamie plan, but Musk realized that Trump could be bought, so in 2022 he switched parties. He bought Twitter (now X), which was instrumental in spreading enough disinformation and propaganda to get Trump elected President in 2024, and he spent at least $277 million of his own money on Trump and the GOP, just to make sure. 

Prospects for Success of Musk's City on Mars

Zero, according to Robert Zubrin of the Mars Society,

and according to most scientists,

So if Elon Musk succeeds in realizing his "inspirational idea", the human race will be left with no habitable planet.

What Does Elon Musk Have in Mind?

I had trouble sleeping last night, pondering the mind of Elon Musk. Why is he hijacking the Dept. of the Treasury? To divert however many trillions it will take to build his refugee city on Mars? I tried to look at the bright side of that scheme and finally fell asleep.

This morning while reading Alton Frye's "Nazi Germany and the American Hemisphere 1933-1941" (Yale University, 1967), Elon's mind started to make sense. On page 12 Frye quotes what Frederic William Maitland, the "patron saint of historians", once said:

"It is very hard to remember that events long past were once in the future."

Reviled as he is today, Elon Musk is thinking of those future days after he has built his city on Mars, when he shall be hailed as the prophet who foresaw the catastrophes that would engulf the Earth, and built a fleet of Arks to deliver humanity (it's richest 1% at least) to a safe haven.

Now I wait for the armed forces to declare martial law, round up all the domestic enemies of democracy - Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Republican Party leaders and their billionaire financiers - and detain them for violating their pledges to defend the Constitution of the United States, and for endangering the lives of the 99%. They can be moved to Guantanamo Bay for their own safety.
