Take a look at observable reality. Not how you wish things worked. Being optimistic won't change anything. Won't change the balance of power. Won't make anything more fair. Just make you a more pleasant serf. It literally doesn't matter what you call Elon Musk. He still has tremendous power. He has hordes of defenders. No amount matter how much power you pretend people have with their vote you're still ignoring observed reality. In your world, someone like Trump could never be elected much less twice. Yet here we are. There seems to be a fundamental disconnect between your beliefs and reality.

Actions speak louder than words.

Voting likely won't get us out of this mess. You'll need to be a bit more creative and... persuasive.

In my world, Trump was elected twice. Helped by people like you who submit to their power and tremble with awe at their accomplishments.
