President muskrat bought his access. Vice president trump signed off on it. Secretary of the Pepsi button Vance is too busy fetching cans for the mango mussolini.
Kara, he bought the election so he can install the winner and make himself the de facto president! He, an African born, who under our constitution cannot be elected president, just tricked Americans into believing the other guy is in control.
Also, even if fund misuse were not uncommon, using a label like that for an agency with many hardworking and highly principled people is not just irresponsible but evil.
Musk is a private citizen, acting without color of lawful authority. Anyone working for USAID can sue him for slander per se because he’s saying that they are working in a criminal organization. I hope they ALL sue him.
This is the rise of technocratic authoritarianism
Musk, Thiel Vought, and others want corporate governance in the US. This is what I think is going on, and Trump's dumbass is a pawn
If someone doesn't stop him God help this country, especially since he's gotten into the system that sends out money. This is more insane than my worst nightmare.
“The DOGE personnel wanted to gain access to USAID security systems and personnel files, three sources said. Two of those sources also said the DOGE personnel wanted access to classified information, which only those with security clearances and a specific need to know are able to access.”
Why is an unelected nazi sympathizing billionaire able to access anything in our government and have anything to do with how the government is run? Its illegal and dangerous and all we have to say is Hell No! Fuck off Leon you have zero authority over any of us!! Congress do your jobs NOW
Edolf apparently is unaware that USAID is one of the organizations we use to spread US influence and assist in clandestine operations. He needs to mind his own fucking business.
So much of his wealth is tied up in the market cap of Tesla…. They already missed earnings and still the shares went up. It’s a mirage! Everyone needs to stop buying Teslas, today!!! We can sink him.
Most the country cant see or hear, and the algorithm isn't going to help or support. So YES overload the algo with a catchy meme that says "This is our Goal, pay the fuck attention" and post it with a protest time and location.
I hear what you're saying, but dumb it down and play the game!
NO ONE elected this pompous fool. How dare he have an office in the West Wing of the White House. Guess the price to buy a president is $225 million. Absolutely disgusting.
The knife twisting will assuredly be the catalyst to send a despondent soul over the edge and end this… too many people out there with nothing to lose and/or mental health issues…
I REALLY want to see someone in Media sit Mitch McConnell and grill him about ALL of this. Does he support this? I can just picture his toad face trying to squirm his way out.
This is not going to end well for anyone. The fact that a non-federal gang has infiltrated government data and has potentially downloaded it onto non-federally owned hardware puts us all at risk at every level imaginable.
You’ve had direct interactions with this guy — what does he actually want? What does he gain from destroying the US civil service and crashing the economy? I get Trump’s motivations (money, immunity), but not Musk’s. Is he really just a nihilist doing it for the lulz?
USAID is another entity the public really doesn’t understand, it’s easy to say, we should be keeping all this money to our selves but loosing the support this agency brings will have long term consequences. Really scary stuff.
The US spend hundreds of billion dollars in national security a year and it can’t stop a dude without a government role to take over and screw everything
The few that have challenged him (meaning his lackeys) are fired/put on leave, locked out of their office, searched, and forced to leave the building. They're not going by any normal playbook, they're behaving just like a startup takeover, which they believe this to be.
'Move fast and break things.' Everything happening here was done during the Twitter takeover. The same mass shittily written email demanding a reply, the same manic 'move this server farm' energy where nothing worked after they did it. https://futurism.com/elon-musk-moved-twitter-servers-himself
Maybe it’s a cultural difference I didn’t realise existed, but if someone like Musk walked into our DWP or HMRC and demanded control of the systems he’d be told very firmly to eff off.
Several have, and they've been physically removed from their offices, searched, phones confiscated, and locked out of the building, as if this was any old workplace. There is nothing legal about any of this. We may not see video unless someone manages to livestream it
He's not talking like someone who wants to cut wasteful government spending. He's talking like a wannabe dictator who is testing out a trial run for something much more nefarious.
there ain't no trying anymore. Word is he has taken over; the new articles are two days behind what has actually happened. He's bragging about doing stop payments to stuff they don't like right now on X and laughing that nobody is there on the weekend to notice.
He's literally taking actions that will kill a lot of people so he can get a tax cut. This, unfortunately, is the country we now live in.
I'm watching the local news this morning and they are interviewing locals who voted for trump and they are piss off. I hope this is a wake up call for them.
apropos of much early chatter & commentary:
so. . .at some point Trump's fragile ego and narcissism will be triggered and shatter the Trump/Musk alliance,
and that's the guardrail that will protect the USA democratic system of government, the legal system?
That's the hope?
That's the strategy?
He paid for the presidency. Plain and simple. And now it's blatantly being shoved in our faces. Trump knows exactly what he's doing. Musk is like the head of the brown shirt gestapo
X is a criminal organization run by a DEI hire, Elon Musk. A neurodivergent illegal immigrant border-jumping, drug using, parasite living off of US grants and a member of Trump's criminal gang... time for X to die and to deport Musk
But the people are still alive. We can boycott, we can call, text, email, mail Congress & demand answers. We can support everyone bringing lawsuits - if just contacting the AG’s to thank them. We got this. Slow. Steady. Don’t give in to despair
It is incredible that the lives of Americans and portions of our govt are in the hands of an illegal immigrant autistic ego maniac. He should be nowhere near the levers of power but that is also true about the person allowing this, the orange bloviator.
I just don't understand it. This new agency that he's a part of isn't even official. it's supposed to be approved by Congress and a budget set aside for it first.
He just points at something, declares it illegal, and takes total control of it. Trump's job for the next four years or more is to keep everyone preoccupied with crazy Trump shit while Elon dismantles the country and remakes it in his own image.
And he's doing this without a bit of legal authority. This seems to me absolutely illegal and that Republicans and Democrats should unit to arrest him and lock him out of government. Where are the adults in the room? They seem entirely absent.
They're still tweeting about fucking egg prices. My morale would improve dramatically if more than five of them would actually behave as if this is a crisis. I know they're in the minority, but nobody will know it's an emergency if the Dems don't act like it. Media isn't covering it.
"Elon rolls stop signs" is something you said when Elon was buying Twitter... I still remember the slack you gave him, probably for continued access to him and his peers. I still listen to you but always with that in mind.
Assuming some semblance of democracy survives the 4 years, all gov software will need to audited for backdoors, data sent to Grok, and any God mode implemented for Musk.
Those of you in the media can help by continually asserting Musk is the real president or co-president. Reporters: ask trump if musk has given him permission to do things. Eventually, trump's ego will not be able to withstand it & at least musk will be moved to the enemies list. 1 step at a time..
Trump doesn't care. He never wanted the job, he wanted to avoid prison. King Maxipad is just fine being a figurehead. Musk though needs a walk to the guillotine.
People voted for the game show host and handed the government over. Let's not shift causality here. 49% of Americans saw this and voted for it anyway. 🤷🏾
How is a foreigner calling OUR government criminal? There is a reason he is not in South Africa…… very rich country for white people, and all his businesses could be run from there. But ask yourself why SA won’t have him.
It’s so sick that so many billionaires can’t find anything constructive to do with the money they made from our previously functioning country. The ingratitude and anger from the wealthiest shows a stupidity I’ll never get. Our country the way it was made you rich, now go sit down
Surely Elon was NOT careful and is liable to tortious interference of a contract here, worthy of an injunction and subsequent discovery. Grants maybe different, but there is an agreement.
It’s bad enough to be evil, it’s bad enough to be deeply stupid, it’s bad enough to be crazy. But does this guy really have to be crazy, evil and deeply stupid? It’s a bit much.
Comments
You were wrong
That’s how he and Musk gets away with …..
Meanwhile, where is left wing leadership?
https://www.thomasnet.com/insights/elon-musk-companies
Really appreciate your perspective. You actually know Musk, did you ever think he was this much of a despot?
This is a bit crazy that Musk has this type of access to US Citizens information. Every single blue state AG needs to sue for injunctive relief.
Musk, Thiel Vought, and others want corporate governance in the US. This is what I think is going on, and Trump's dumbass is a pawn
Again I ask... where are you Democrats and what the hell are you doing about this lunatic?
Please HELP
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social @amyklobuchar.com
You've been Musk's fluffer for ages, even pandering w/profile banner image of you and him on your Twitter account.
Anything to elevate your brand and make a buck; right?
You prided yourself on being The Elon Musk Whisperer.
How's that workin' out now?
Do some self-reflection.
Deport the illegal alien
100% tariff on the swastawagon
The new olrigarch carpet bagger and Nazi!
We must act now, demand Elon be removed from our government.
Start a protest, share a meme, make a meme, and start a protest!
Focus on the Oligarchy!
He is a MEGA-BILLIONAIRE who is the richest man in the world and an oligarch. Let’s call him what he is.
But remember, it's all unrealized collateral on loans!
Get him kicked out of the government! Tank his stock, and the bank gonna want their money back! Fuck with their plan!
I hear what you're saying, but dumb it down and play the game!
Anyone paying attention yet?
If you believe there will be free and fair elections in two years or a peaceful transfer of power in 4 your are completely high.
Anyone have a suggestion on how we stop this?
What exactly is happening here?!
They should be inundated with calls, emails, and letters from us.
Congress switchboard: (202) 224-3121
I’ve been calling them for years; I’ve called every GOP Senator multiple times.
Receptionists rarely refused to hear me out because I wasn’t in the zip code.
Elon lied on his immigration application. Said he was going to school when he really was starting businesses and working. 🤔
This would disqualify just about anyone applying for us citizenship.
🤮

Somebody needs to sue those idiots into oblivion. They have no authority to do jack shit.
I'm watching the local news this morning and they are interviewing locals who voted for trump and they are piss off. I hope this is a wake up call for them.

Trump is just a useful idiot for the people really mounting this coup.
Instead they are tweeting “hur hur price of eggs”.
The Democratic Party died.
Educating Americans died.
Wealth equality died.
Real journalism died.
Then when you finally wake up you’ll realise what was left of your democracy is finally gone.
You know fancy schmancy business lawyers.
Surely Elon was NOT careful and is liable to tortious interference of a contract here, worthy of an injunction and subsequent discovery. Grants maybe different, but there is an agreement.
Ask them.
Who died and made him Elvis?
Not dystopic at all.
Return to obediently SIEG HEILing. Nothing to see here.
Is DOGE even legally constituted?
A country over 300 million free citizens all armed to the teeth and not one person is putting an end to this?
