It is pretty obvious, so why can't/won't the whole media and corporate establishment acknowledge it?

Is it because they are also full-in on it?

Has Elon been shorting Tesla stock through some cronies of his?

Yes, but a lot of us already understood that America no longer has a functioning judicial branch so expect nothing less from our highest office. The judicial system in America is simply a stack of bribes and a lobbyist in a trench coat. More or less the only system of justice in America is whoever spends the most money wins. It's a system of pure evil run by money and the most corrupt attorneys, known as judges.

Our family court system is broken beyond repair and the simple fact that we lock people up based on their skin color should be proof enough to anybody that America is simply corrupt to the core and has been for a generation. The court system is broken and corruption is incentivized at every step of the way. Even a good judge would turn bad in the face of so much money.

If anyone in the media and corporate establishment acknowledged it they’d be “in El Salvador”

That's a side project.

Trump has trashed allies and alliances. He has turned the people of Europe, Asia, Mexico, Canada, and other places against American products and services. He is trashing our universities, further undermining the foundations of innovation and risk capital formation.

That damage will consume everyone.

I made more money from stocks than I ever thought since Trump became president. Make of it what you want.

It's open season for grifters. Who's gonna investigate?
