The intense run-up to oligarchic rule was reflected in our poll results, as many of the system’s most fervent supporters (that is, oligarchs) continued to strut and crow. Elon Musk—sick of him yet?—won for the second straight week, although it was a squeaker. Musk, with 25.9 percent, barely topped Mark Zuckerberg—now sporting grown-out hair and a gold medal around his neck, and given to musing about “masculine energy”—whose 24.4 percent suggested we’ll be seeing more of him in A.W.I. Props as well to America’s favorite hug-dispensing duchess, Meghan Markle, standing accused, along with her husband, of disaster tourism (20.1 percent).
And what of Donald Trump? Fourth place (14.3 percent) was a feeble showing for A.W.I.’s GOAT, but we anticipate he’ll soon more than make up for any recent sub-par forays and are assuming a protective crouch accordingly.
