I could legitimately see this happening, by now. Fox News builds it up for a week, then Trump/Musk make a big spectacle of sending it back and replacing it with a giant statue of Trump.

No that’s not right - you gotta lose the torch and make it look like he’s “sending his heart out to the world”

Images from the Future are usually not as clear.

Wait until that 20/20 hindsight

Far fewer visionaries emerged in 2020 than those of us with a penchant for puns would have liked 🫤

A giant dump would also fit to the current timeline.
