“Well?” the new Elon asked.
“He’s leaking all right,” the imagineer replied.
“Leaking what?”
“Fluids. Do you want me to get technical?”
“Just fix it.” The new Elon paused in thought. “While you are at it, can you change his thought patterns? He is becoming too…independent.”
“Like?”
“The tariff dividend payments, can you make him forget those?”
“Sure. Anything else?”
“Erase his previous loyalties to Elon. I want him to see me as the one and only Elon.”
“Harder, but doable.”
“Excellent.”
As the imagineer returned to his work and the new Elon watched, the Trump animatronic’s eyes shifted imperceptibly.

The Lunar Lord
There is a story that has been passed down from generation to generation amongst the zuxia. This story tells of a lord that was said to be the God of the lunar. This God, however, was not like the other Seven Gods. It was believed that he was the very same God that fell into the world and shattered it. This God is known to be the very father of corruption itself so the story is not often spoken about, however, whispers still get around that this Lord of the moon is still worshipped till this day.
