I was late to the latest, as always, this particular latest being Elon Musk's twitted exhortation that his fascist followers be kinder, gentler fascists. I had read this secondhand, hence I believed it to be a joke. But, being the researching corroborationist that I am, I took to Mr. Musk's fascist site to see for myself. And by God there it was.

I'll not squander your time and insult your intelligence by noting in any detail the irony of that post following his other post, "Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face."
In truth I found that one rather comical, quite aside from Elon's unintended, everyman wish: If only we could fuck ourselves in the face.
No, what disturbed and annoyed me about Elon's F.Y. i. t.f. post was the wretched English which trailed immediately after: "I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend."
Never mind its Trump imitation, but lawdy lawd did he ever butcher the predicate. Elon meant to say we cannot possibly comprehend the übermanly way in which he would go to war — we can; daily he comes across as a pantywaist crybaby — but he botched it by referring instead to "this issue."
Hundreds of billions of dollars and he can't write an intelligible sentence in his mother tongue. Worse, with all that money he could hire an editor, yet hasn't.

Surely you don't mean the dreaded "cancel culture."

The already here civil war between the Steves (Bannon & Miller) and their MAGA base vs Elon and his darker sidekick, Vivisect Ramalamadingdong, will be fun to watch. But, sadly, it's probably all a fight over who gets to steer the Korporate Klown Kar. I doubt much in the way of legislation will get done given the miniscule GOP house margin and the kerfuffle over who's going to be Speaker, so I expect the coming administration to be mostly about performative cruelty to appease the base while making major exceptions for the visa program and farm workers.

Take away Leon Skum's corporate subsidies and then see how rich he is.
