Musk actually does apparently have a cabinet position - head of the Department of Grift. With Trump's help, he may be the most successful at his mission!

They can always let in Starlink weasels and then slaughter them. Be sure to use bonesaws and a fire pit after.

Republicans spent years screaming that Joe biden must have pressured burisma to add his son to their board. That was a lie but they claimed it was abuse of power and legacy media all played along.

This is true abuse of power, happening on real time and Dems aren’t doing anything!

During the reshaping of the Iraqi (2007 on) economy, American companies extorted Kuwait (among others) to forgive the Iraqi debt while forcing them to invest billions in American companies (e.g. Carlyle)
A shakedown that trump has scaled worldwide.
