      I would love to have the ability to see what other realities exists. One where Hitler didn’t rise to power, or where Trump wasn’t born, or where Musk failed all his projects and became a better person because of it.

        Hitler became the leader of a movement, but he wasn’t the one to start it. After ww1’s peace treaties a second war was basically unavoidable, even if national socialism wasn’t a thing.

        If you really want to change the tides of history you have to start earlier, prevent a movement when it’s forming instead of killing its leader.
