He’s an absolute piece of shit. But if you think he stands above Donald Rumsfeld or Steve Bannon or George Shultz or William J. Casey or Samuel Alito on the Evilness Spectrum, you’re suffering from profound recency bias.
The history of evil shits running this country goes back a long, long way. Elon’s just the latest to claim the mantel. And its safe to say he won’t be the last.
What sets him apart is the recklessness and the fecklessness of his actions. He’s jamming code updates into a 60 year old system without bothering to bug check them first. Very real possibility he bricks a significant portion of the Treasury software suite before he’s done. Prior administrations had an eye towards continuation of careers and legacy of their terms. This administration is treating the term as a Smash-and-Grab, with an eye towards fully expropriating the functions of the federal government to the private sector.

Well, if we’re talking about “this country”, he may be the last.
