> the California High-speed Rail project The state government of California was doing a bang up job of destroying this project on their own. He didn't really need to help them. Moreover given the rise of remote work I'm not sure it has as much value as it would have had it been constructed when it was designed. > but he's not dumb enough to actually believe all the bullshit he spouts. Yet he's not afraid of the consequences either. This seems more telling to me. | ||

The consequence of becoming the world's richest man? Oh, the horror. The very wealthy do not face consequences for their actions. He lies every day about his companies, and no one ever does a thing about it. DOGE killed a few hundred thousand children for no reason at all; it didn't even save money. He did it purely for the joy of killing black and brown children in the global south. No one with any power to deliver has ever suggested he should face consequences for it. Why should he be afraid of consequences? There will never be any for him, as long as he is protected by unimaginable wealth and a power structure designed around serving those with wealth. | ||

He has never faced an actual meaningful consequence, of course he isn't afraid of them. | ||
