I think the key difference is that Xi has a very strong vision for China and is actually practicing what he preaches; enriching the nation rather than enriching himself. Like a strict father, head of the family.
While the debacle that is the US government is all about enriching themselves and their associates rather than the nation. Like goblins in a mine.
The US government isn't even all about themselves right now. Trump is a Russian agent. The US government is all about Russia, not the US.
I would be less worried if Musk and Trump at least loved America. That's why I believe a military coup d'etat is preferable to Trump and Musk - if we have to have a dictator, we may as well have one that isn't an idiot and loves the country.
