Musk, Trump and Bezos have led me to reconsider my stance on eating the rich Opinion

Opinion by Rex Huppke, USA TODAY

The early days of the new billionaire-heavy Trump administration are making the French-Revolution-era phrase “eat the rich” great again, leading some to ponder the hypothetical palatability of oligarch meat.

Billionaire Elon Musk, looking tastier by the day, appears to have effectively purchased the presidency of the United States and assumed the role of the federal workforce’s “Worst Boss Ever.” Probationary employees and career federal workers are being fired willy-nilly, federal contracts are being axed right and left, vital aid to other nations has been cut off and funding for medical research into diseases like cancer has been dropped like it was a magazine subscription America forgot to cancel.

The dictionary definition of “cruelty” could now be accurately updated to read: “see Musk, Elon.”
