    Democracy is dead: Elon Musk becomes world's first TRILLIONAIRE with SpaceX IPO

    Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire, with the IPO of his company SpaceX. He is a symbol of how the United States has become an oligarchy, where elections are bought by rich elites and large corporations, and extreme wealth is concentrated in a few hands.

    Before the AI bubble pops, billionaires want to loot your retirement funds

    The AI bubble has caused the most concentrated and overvalued stock market in US history. The billionaire CEOs of Big Tech corporations fear it may pop soon, so they changed the rules on Wall Street so that, mere days after their IPOs, SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic will be given "fast track" inclusion in major index funds, despite the fact that they are losing tons of money. These corporate oligarchs want to use average retail investors as exit liquidity, looting pensions, 401(k)s, and other retirement funds, all so Elon Musk can become the world's first trillionaire. Ben Norton explains the scandal.

    To fight China, USA literally plans to colonize its ally

    The US government is desperate to create a new supply chain that cuts out China, through its Pax Silica initiative.
