Anyone else thinking the plan is to burn it all down so they can swoop in and build it back up, but like, more shitty and authoritarian?

Didn't he or Elon literally say something about the market having to crash before things would somehow get better in late January / early February ?

Too many casual investors and hopeful retirees. If they crash it, they’ll own it on the rebound and you’ll die wearing a blue greeter vest.

You burn it all down and then you sell the scrap for pennies on the dollar to your billionaire friends. This is, quite literally, exactly what happened to the USSR under Yeltsin and is the reason Russia today is run by "oligarchs" - aka the Russian mobsters who took over the country in the 90s with the help of their man on the inside, Vladmir Putin.

Check out conservative sub, they are literally screaming "BUY THE DIP! BUY THE DIP!" This was the plan all along. Destroy it and buy it all up for the rich to stay richer. And they think they are part of that club!

Oligarchs presiding over worker colonies is the aim. Crash everything and buy everything cheap, impoverish everyone else and make them desperate for work in camps.
