We gave him our dollars, our knowledge, our launchpads, our tech. While people ration insulin, he’s on track to be the first trillionaire—and Democrats are cheering him on.
By Corbin Trent, America’s Undoing
What if I told you we’re creating the world’s first trillionaire with your tax dollars—and the Democrats are in on it?
The Democratic Party doesn’t just tolerate privatization—they’re ideologically committed to it, even when it means gutting the very tools we need to solve our biggest crises.

They want us to reject candidates like Zohran Mamdani, warning that anything else would be a gift to MAGA. These establishment Democrats are the same ones calling for a return to the middle.
Meanwhile, voters and non-voters alike are asking a more basic question: Are Republicans and Democrats really all that different when it comes to the core economic stuff? If Democrats had total control of state and federal government, what would they actually do?
Because when it comes to our biggest weapons against monopolies and corporate greed—public competition, public ownership, public production—Democrats are in lockstep with Republicans. Neoliberal economics — the idea that the market should run everything and government should stay out — has become a religion for both parties. This is one of the biggest reasons Democrats can’t compete with MAGA. They gave up on government as a builder.
And when you give up on building, you end up outsourcing — to people like Elon Musk. Instead of rebuilding NASA, we privatized it. And now we’re creating the world’s first trillionaire with our own tax dollars — and Democrats are on board.
