KEY POINTS

Elon Musk said SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft “immediately” because of threats by Donald Trump to cancel government contracts with Musk’s businesses.
Musk’s announcement on his social media site X escalated a war of words with Trump that began after the Tesla CEO criticized the major tax bill being pushed by the Republican president.
A SpaceX Dragon capsule brought two NASA astronauts back to Earth in March after they were stranded for months at the International Space Station by a Boeing Starliner capsule.

Ah but you're basing this analysis on competent historical fascists

Find me a fascist movement/party/figure that's formally controlled a state for more than 20 years, that's outlasted its big special leader boy... you know, a 'competent' one.

Mussolini's lasted 21 years, and he was waaaay younger than Trump when he started.

... Are you going to call Mussolini 'competent'?

Fascists are definitionally incompetent and irrational, they are literally anti-Truth with a capital T, the philosophical, as close to objective and reasonable 'truth' we can get.

But, they are also very well definable by understanding that if they fuck with the money too hard, the money will fuck them back.
