    Elon’s latest crusade against the Department of Education plays like a Silicon Valley remix of Atlas Shrugged – all disruption theater masking a fundamental disdain for public infrastructure. Dissolving federal oversight would turbocharge the existing educational caste system, where zip codes determine destiny and critical thinking gets outsourced to charter school grifters.

    The student loan rage reeks of survivorship bias from someone who cashed out an emerald mine privilege card. Decrying “bureaucracy” while building rocket empires on government contracts is peak hypercapitalist cognitive dissonance. Local control sounds quaint until you realize which local oligarchs get to rewrite history textbooks.

    This isn’t innovation – it’s demolition derby governance. The rubble left behind would make great feedstock for AI training data, though.
