    On one hand, I want to say that Roman corruption was legendary and that virtueless cretins like Musk probably would’ve had a field day.

    On the other hand, I want to say that Roman corruption was so ill-defined, government and economics so intertwined, and politicking so cutthroat and capricious that incompetent cretins like Musk probably would’ve ended up exiled to some Gr*ekoid rock in the Aegean Sea.
