Honestly I'm starting to believe that Frank is genuinely in love with Johnny boy. Unconditional love is the only possible reason I can imagine he'd hang with this abomination for as long as he has.

Rods from God? Really? An early 2000's DARPA feasibility study that turned into a brief sci-fi fad caused Wu to melt down? He melted down over kinetic bombardment? Further studies on THOR and other similar ideas essentially showed that the same job can be done at far lower cost with off the shelf weapons systems and that there are too many serious technical hurdles to overcome.
"Throwing rocks from the moon" was a central trope to Heinlein's (excellent) novel "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" and while it would work if the rocks were big enough, why would we want to do such a thing when the existing and relatively cheap nuclear inventory we already have would work just fine? It was only a thing in that book because the people on the moon were rebelling and using a space elevator like system intended to send mined materials back to earth as a weapon to force Earth to leave them alone.
Sperging aside, I can't believe this of all things sent John into a REEEEEEE spiral on twitter.

In hindsight, I kinda expected it. Wu has tried to keep it low key, but it's pretty obvious a lot of his concepts of science were more derived from science fiction than actual science, hence the cavalcade of errors in Revolution 60 concerning the laws of gravity, physics, and reality, and based on all the comments he's made about all the sci-fi media he's a big fan of and takes really seriously, and it not much a surprise he'd say something that confuses sci-fi for reality.
But to understand the sheer level of hubris it would take to understand why the whole "moon rocks" thing came up, take one part Wu wanting to make a political point on something he doesn't sound like he's spewing crap he read off clickbait headlines, take one part Wu's unfortunate confliction of sci-fi versus how reality actually works, and two parts Dunning-Kruger.
Add a nice helping of wanting attention and stir, and you get the moon rocks nonsense.

I've long been of the opinion that Frank Wu is a deeply insecure man that needs to exert power over his partners. And Brianna Wu is such a singularly colossal fuckup that nobody else in the world would be as helpless without his money and connections. She'll never leave him; not like all the rest. She's terrible, but she's completely his.
There is, of course, an alternate theory brewing in my head lately. Not as likely, but much more amusing: Brianna Wu's failure *is* Frank's hobby. The shit ain't cheap, but lots of middle aged guys pick up expensive hobbies. Sports cars, model trains, fancy hookers... Frank Wu just wants to watch the pants-on-head retarded efforts of his tranny trophy wife end in hilarious failure every single time. He snickers to himself as he cuts a cheque to whatever astroturfing business is going to get the signatures to get her on the ballot.

I dunno, have you tried a fucking hardware store? They tend to have drawers of these kinds of things for you to peruse.
........wait Frank would have to drive him, that explains it.
Okay in fairness "bondo" and "shit car restoration" typically found mentioned in the same sentence, but is this supposed to be a racecar (snrrrrk
) or something that Etsy threw up in? Maybe embed a small picture of Crash in it or something for extra pizzaz.This is fucking shameful even by "herrafrush '97 civic with tacky wide-body kit and GT wing wider than the car" standards.

What Brianna should really do is find someone on Etsy who will make a tasteful pair of truck nuts out of his former testicles.

Maybe he's just into body horror flicks and Brianna is his personal embodiment of a David Cronenberg movie?
This is something that I can hardly fathom...
Unless your name is Rockefeller, Trump or Clinton, your life just doesn't get any more privileged. John had rich parents, a good basic education and the doors were wide open for him to persue any career at the university that he wanted - his family's ties and money leisurely afforded him that. In 10 years and with multiple attempts, he came up empty handed.
His family gave him the opportunity to work as an intern in politics, something that could have opened up a whole career, but again, John came up empty handed...
He then burned a quarter of a million dollars on his own little company that ultimately achieved jack and fucking shit altogether.
At this point, John got into trouble with his family for being an irredeemable shithead and his family no longer wanted to sit idly by and watch - so he just cut his ties and went shopping for a trannychaser sugardaddy.
Now, he's married to a cashcow that not only provided him with a shitload of money for toys and free housing, but also enough money to try and make a new company. A company that wasted almost half a million dollars on a vanity game that is simply garbage from a pragmatic POV.
And everything about GSX is a fucking joke. The pc-port was in developement hell for years for no reason and was released on Steam in a glorious eyesore disco-inferno version.
So, in short:
John was born into a very privilged family, wasted their money and time on an education that netted him no degrees, failed in politics, failed as a entrepreneur, failed as a druggie (seriously, an Ambien addiction?
), got himself a husband, failed as a wife (just look at all the filth in their house - also they lost their house, as @JSGOTI found out), failed as an entrepreneur again... and now he's setting himself up to fail at poltics... again.Life hardly deals you a better hand than what John got, and he can't succeed at anything even once.
It's just absurd to think about how much of a failure John is.
An important aspect of the relationship between the Wus seems to be Frank is using Brianna as a lightning rod for negativity. He's a disgusting human being that not only deplatforms his ex-gfs but also goes out of his way to fuck with them socially.
The persona Frank is building for himself together with Brianna is that of the bumbling, nerdy, good-natured husband.

Yeah, fuck this. I'm going to move forward with my Farmer's PAC idea. Brianna Wu wants to stalk men in tech with congressional subpoenas to cause fucking Elevatorgates every day. She'd be another litigant terrorist fucking with random people.

Maybe if John had been born into a middle-class tolerant (but hard-working) family with a couple of siblings and had to get employment from early on (and wasn't given so many privileges) he would have ended up just being a normal, pudgy, gay office worker. Someone who was never great at anything but was functional and didn't try too hard to be something he wasn't or rise to some bizarre station. Someone who probably failed his driving test too but then passed it the second go-around because otherwise he'd be taking the bus every day. Someone who could even handle a moped. Someone who probably didn't even have a twitter.
One can dream.
...then again maybe he would have ended up just as bad as he is now except living under a bridge and without the surgeries. In which case he still wouldn't be talking about supervillian moon rocks over twitter.

You've got to admire the way Wu practically hit the lottery with Frank. Seriously, what are the odds that a well-to-do guy happens to meet an astonishingly ugly pre-op tranny at a sci-fi con, and decides that he's going to throw his entire life down the garbage chute to cater to her whims for nearly a decade?
By all rights, Wu ought to be a Chloe Sagal clone. Seriously mentally ill, living on the couches of only fractionally more stable "friends" and complaining on the internet to a dwindling pool of people who will still listen about how the man is keeping her down.

*puts on the Outlandish-Theory-Goggles*
This is why I think, that Frank being a "trollish mastermind" isn't that unlikely. It seems a bit strange that he (or anyone, really) puts up with Brianna like this, indulging and most likely paying for every fleeting whim she has... Except if you take into account, that he couldn't stand that his previous wife was better at writing than he was. Of course, this info comes from the mouth of a disgruntled ex, but I don't think it is that far off: Frank can't stand to be with someone who is (on their own) more successful than he is.
I think Frank needs Brianna to be a screw-up, perhaps as some form of self-assurance. He needs to see that -without his guidance and support- she would fail, crash and burn in the most beautiful firework of autism imaginable. It doesn't matter, if a lot of idiots out there think she's some kind of awesome game-design-writer-politician-feminist-something-something. Without Frank Brianna would share the same social step as Phil and Chris by now, and Franks knows that. Heck, he probably even feels accomplished to be the guy in the background who put a monkey in a dress and makes it run for congress, while the White Knights are cheering for it.
And besides: Every other partner, who is half-rooted in reality, would have long seen that Brianna is unfit for congress. That even if you support her, it only can end in disaster. The only logical conclusion is not to support that whim of her, but to dissuade her from doing so, have one of the dreaded 'honest talks', you have in serious relationships.
Even with your job being shitting wads of money, so you can hold your own ghoul pretending to be a feminist icon as a hobby, your rose colored-glasses can't be that thick to not see, that Brianna will screw up her Wu-for-congress-play-pretend ...
...except of course, it is in fact your hobby to have a tight, yet invisible leash on her, and train her like a good dog to be what she is.
TL;DR of this theory is: Frank and Brianna are co-depended. Brianna needs Frank to continue escaping the harshness of reality, the fact that she is a massive screw-up, and so she can keep being the 'nine-year-old boy who play-pretends to be a feminist-icon' forever. While Frank needs some human animal to train and guide, to be something what she possibly can't be without him, and only him.

John, given how you are right about something once in a blue troon, I don't think this will work out for you.
Also, not sure a congressional candidate should be taking bets without a gambling license.
