A vote for Donald Trump next week is a vote for Elon Musk , says Simon Tisdall .

Trump, if he wins, will do to the nation what Musk did to Twitter : the US will be e-Muskulated.

He would gain what capital has sought since workers acquired the vote: the truncation of democracy.

The centrist pact with capital has worked as follows: we might seek half -heartedly to improve the lives of people at the bottom, but we will do almost nothing to hold down those at the top.

As a short-term tactic it worked: Rupert Murdoch and other members of the plutocrats’ trade union struck an uneasy truce with Tony Blair , Bill Clinton and their ilk.

But the long-term result is that the ultra-rich became so wealthy that they could present a direct threat to sovereign nations.
