has over a prime minister (a four-year tenure, significant direct executive power, the fact that the US is a sublimely vast, internationalized, financialized economy the like of which the world has never seen) enable him to get away with his version of Truss's attack on what she called The Blob?

Subplot: X is down for real, Tesla stock is heading for fair value (which isn't zero, but it isn't 500, either), and Mars exploration isn't likely to be profitable any time soon. Is it too much to hope that the AfD's most famous supporter might also be disciplined by the markets?

(I get that this is all premature and excessively optimistic of me, but a man can hope.)
