It is a truism that people are more inclined to accept something they don't like if it comes from someone they consider to be a friend.
Or at least not an enemy.
Will people who like and trust Trump be more accepting of digital money if it comes from Donald Trump?Trump has said things that suggest he likes the idea of digital money and he has teamed up with Elon Musk, who also likes it. Elon Musk also likes grift, though he now acts as if he doesn't. Probably because he's already gotten his grift to the tune of many billions - so what's the loss of that $7,500 per device tax-kickback grift?

He also says he likes free speech but we know he likes shekels more, having agreed to
suppress the speech of people in Brazil that the Marxist thugs-in-charge demanded be suppressed. It is also true that "X" - the new name for the speech suppression platform formerly known as Twitter - continues to marginalize the
reach of people whose speech triggers the algorithms that still control what people are allowed to
see.

Digital money would work similarly. You'd be allowed to possess it - in the sense that your
device (which is already under their control) could be used to purchase things, with them knowing every detail of each transaction, down to the digital penny. And them having the ability to control what you're allowed to spend - and on what.
All of that controlled by an algorithm that determines what you're allowed to spend - and on what - so long as you are obedient.Perhaps according to the size of your carbon footprint.
