Dude isn't even old enough to drink! And if his moniker is "Big Balls", A) he's compensating for something, and B) emotionally he's about 12 and shouldn't be advising his parents.
Should a community have the right to demonstrate in front of his parents home and the homes of the other gullible, immature, talented boys working for Musk?
I was actually younger than he was when I first joined the government. Although, if I was called “Big Balls”, I too could’ve been a senior advisor then.
Musk and Trump say “Big Balls” Edward Coristine is highly experienced and qualified for a Senior Adviser job and salary. 19 years old, and just out of high school.
So ... what does this mean? Instead of humanitarian and economic development assistance, the United States State Department under Donald J. Trump will be exporting sexploitation via hacker channels registered in Russia?
Thought I saw an article about the group of parents who sued the infowars guy about sandy hook was looking to buy or invest in the onion. If so their “satire” is looking more and more like true articles.
The story is stranger than that. The group of parents gave some of their settlement money to The Onion to buy the InfoWars assets out of bankruptcy. The sale was overturned by a judge.
Not that people shouldn't protest and act, many of us voted against this shit. We very much should. But the only way the average American will strike back against this is when they and their own families have been severely devastated by his policies.
I agree. And if you think it's hard to watch from your side, imagine what it's like to watch from inside. Laws and constitutional order is being broken in broad daylight, a power coup right before our eyes, and the response has been slow and weak. People are in denial.
They are speed bumps, I think. And lawless guys like Trump and Musk repeatedly disregard them, and nothing happens.
I think the only honest response will come internationally, through boycotts, sanctions, and decoupling. Don't just endure it for 4 years, stand up to it.
While it's a fair idea, it doesn't change the fact that the majority of Americans either voted for this Temu-Hitler, or can't be bothered at all to vote. The only way we'll see meaningful backlash is when his supporters start really suffering the consequences of their poor choices.
I understand. I was stationed in Germany for 3 years back in the 90's, and took 3 years of it in high school. Though I'm rusty, I still remember a fair amount. I still practice on my cat.
It’s easy for me to say in Canada, but it’s at the tipping point. He’s looking for his Reichstag fire. Then martial law and suspend elections. Massive demonstrations, general strike, gotta ramp it up. But again, easy for me to say. Fascism is marching across the US. The govt is being dismantled
Yes, we watch the horror unfolding. It's crazy. I believe Americans have to act NOW! It has to be visible in public, that the vast majority is against Trump and Musk.
We are doing protests, calling, there are strikes and lawsuits. This gets very little press. We’re a big country and they are throwing stuff at us fast, closing whole departments in the government. We are not ignoring it. There is a risk to big protests that aren’t well organized or disciplined.
I live 3,000 miles away from the nation's capital and am working the day job I need to survive. I call and write to my reps regularly. What can I resist from where I sit? Seriously, I am scared.
The problem is: Too many Americans live paycheck to paycheck. That's why they don't have the time and the power to do more. And the powerful oligarchs know that. They use your fear and exhaustion to oppress you.
This. Also the man just straight up ignores court orders. Our vp straight up said that a judge trying to reign in the power of Orange Musalini is illegal. he's got enough lackies in the highest powers that even if he was impeached, AGAIN, he would most likely not be removed. So nothing would happen
Omg, you have no idea that 1/3 of the country is believing propaganda, 1/3 have NO idea what is going on and 1/3 are trying to figure out how to do this in a way that they don’t declare martial law and kill us.
I'm outside of the USA and I'm seeing this authoritarian, Oligarch shit-show slowly spreading around the world so I wouldn't act too smug about it if I were you. Your country could be next.
We don't need them. We need more of the 60some million who are eligible but didn't even bother to vote. The Biden win shows it. All we need is 10 million of them to do their civic duty, and we never have to worry about shit like this anymore. Flood the streets, flood the polls.
He just oozes the "I'm a spoilt asshole" vibe. Honestly, if my girls ever came home with someone like this, I'd take pleasure in destroying the little fuckers ego in front of them and telling them to thank me later.

I feel sorry for Americans. You've got 4 years of this silliness.
This has got to be the most bizarre, most ridiculous, most dangerous, most embarrassing appointment in the history of politics since Caligula appointed his horse to the senate.
All other outrage aside, the fact that someone with that stupid broccoli haircut is in charge of anything more than 3rd shift line cooks at Sizzler is the cherry on this shit sandwich of a coup d'idiot.
How? Who will hold them accountable now? MAGA is untouchable. Until Cheesus is done with Elon, no one is breaking any laws to go to jail. Because they don’t abide by laws.
No they won't because laws don't apply anymore. This kid will be your boss and you will do everything he tells you to do with a scared smile on your face.
Pretty sure he’s the same one who was fired from an internship for selling proprietary information to a competitor. Just what is needed at the State Department
Senior advisor. Pretty damn demoralizing for career State Department professionals to have him as their boss or equal. I assume his salary and benefits are a matter of public record?

Do they have the right? Yes.
Payola for his hacking of our private data.
The Musk and Trump Clown World.

GUYS, YOU HAVE TO STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!
Get out and protest! Organize strikes! Fight for democracy! You have to!
For me and others it's really hard to watch. That's why I try to talk to you.
On MeidasTouch Network (MTN) they explain it pretty well. I watch it daily to stay informed.
I think the only honest response will come internationally, through boycotts, sanctions, and decoupling. Don't just endure it for 4 years, stand up to it.
The problem is: If they suffer too much (regarding health oder finances), they won't have the power to fight anymore.
I have a cat, too!
Keep doing that! 👍

You outnumber them! Large protests, boycotts and strikes will have an effect! But it has to be organized better.
They stayed silent and played their role in the system. It's a disgrace!
You should do better!
I ask you to avoid the worst. I just don't want you to suffer.
You have to organize.
There are Trump voters, who already regret their vote for Trump.
So I believe the majority is AGAINST Trump! That's a power you have to use.
D delicate
E elon
I. Intern
Total dweeb.
Those of us who AREN’T White have to work twice as hard to get half as far. American revolution 2.0 is long overdue. Let’s get out there and organize.
