How do you stop a man with - half a trillion dollars. - his own satellite internet network, capable of starting and ending wars. - his own rockets and satellites. - himself a media behemoth - “I am the media now” he means to say, not X - with access to hundreds of millions of people every day, - with full control of the world’s most powerful country’s president and even more… …how do you stop such a force from disrupting your political process as a country? Has the world ever seen a more powerful - supposedly private citizen?

Full control of the president is pushing it...I would say, "has large amount of influence on the president". However any day their egos could clash and that could change, Trump is a lot of things but I don't see him letting anyone control him. I agree he would be hard to stop, it's too much power for one man to have, that much power would corrupt anyone it's human nature. That's why we shouldn't have huge governments that have tentacles reaching into every single aspect of our life, it's too much power in one place as demonstrated by the amount of power Elon has gained by simply positioning himself near the president.

Most powerful human ever on Earth so far IMO. Which is very sad for humanity... And I think people are still underestimating him. Starlink V2 and Starship are pivotal technologies for humanity, massive game changers and all under the control of one Oligarch.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think it’s Australia which limited donations to political parties from individuals to 20k. It’s a step, at least.

Congress could easily stand up to him by passing legislation limiting his power. Will they? I think it just depends on how much he pisses them off.

the whole "stop this man" to me is a question than a statement, and its answer depends on whether one would actually go to lengths to disrupt the due process and one's motives to do so if the motives are net good, and the results of them are beneficial to the country as a whole, why stop them? american revolution comes to mind. btw, there are more powerful people than Elon who we've not even heard of, who exploit existing systems to benefit themselves and their buddies i'd say recent "medal of freedom" laureates are a case in point here

By spreading knowledge among people with zero political knowledge! Honestly, all the dictatorships have been made by people of the society overtime!
