Elon Musk already has the keys to vital government agencies. Now the Musk-Trump administration is awarding new contracts to...Elon Musk's own company.

All of this after Musk gave $280 million to elect Trump.

The most corrupt bargain in American history.

Perhaps you know someone in the government like a Senator who could maybe do something about this instead of constantly rolling over and doing absolutely fucking nothing??????

Yes, like this.

When trump and musk have their run, I hope the Dems win and cancel every single musk contract with the same cold slashing he administered to thousands of government employees.

sharon19124.bsky.social•27 days ago

Hope something happens before then. America can’t take much more of this.

rickclark.bsky.social•27 days ago

trump has destroyed our credibility on the world stage as a dependable partner. That is probably gone forever or it will take many years to build trust.

It was a $280 million investment. Muskrat expects to turn a profit.

Did he really give Krasnov $$$$$? I don’t believe anything either one says.

Sickening corruption

whataboutism16.bsky.social•27 days ago

No, no, it’s only « raising new conflict of interest concerns. »

They must’ve interviewed Susan Collins.

Now is the time to push overturning Citizens United and stopping dark money. Here is a consequence!

I can't believe the FAA has much need for wireless things. Wired networks are always more reliable. Much Snow on a starlink dish takes it offline while it melts or someone has to keep clearing the dish. Intermittent connectivity is guaranteed.

And as always, very cheap comparatively to buy a politician

Get Elon out of the govt - he’s not elected and he’s A NAZI

If it looks like a duck……
Crawling through our data!!! Directing our tax dollars. Foreign ties that USAID Inspector was investigating.

kims-sky.bsky.social•27 days ago

Our tax dollars.
We have law to prevent this, but it needs to be enforced by Congress

sharon19124.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yes, Congress does need to do something about this. But here we are…..waiting on the do nothing for we the people republican cowards in Congress.

This is obviously a conflict of interest and illegal contracting of government funds. If you want to save money, fire one guy, we'll save billions. Trump is using my tax dollars as a checkbook for his friends. I have a special needs child and one income. Why am I making Musk richer?

Any ATC system built on Musk’s software or network is probably not going to be reliable or secure.

shankhead.bsky.social•28 days ago

Musk has demanded that federal employees send him bullets. I sincerely hope they promptly comply.

cecelia2.bsky.social•28 days ago

Well he’s taking over!!

occasionallyzen.bsky.social•28 days ago

If he is an employee, how does this not violate all kinds of ethics rules? If he isn't, how is he allowed to stay?

joypets.bsky.social•28 days ago

Senator - thanks for your newsletter and your efforts to fight this takeover of our government.

Marylanders - you can sign up for his newsletter here: https://www.vanhollen.senate.gov/contact/newsletter-sign-up

And it’s probably the most detrimental. There are no good intentions, only greed.

I think this ship has sailed...

"has agreed" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline.

yethee.bsky.social•28 days ago

If an average US 53yr old spent this percentage of their wealth...

Elon Musk Wealth: 384,000,000,000
Elon Campaign Expenditure: 280,000,000
Expenditure as Percentage of Wealth: 0.00073%
Average Wealth US Age 45-54: 975,800

This 280 million Elon spent equates to a US 53yr old spending about $712.33

memphismanatee.bsky.social•28 days ago

Every day, 8 hours a day you and the party need to publicize this corruption. And why did so many D senators view to make some unqualified pal of Vance's a high level DOD employee? Get your shit together. Durbin et al.

resprofmama.bsky.social•28 days ago

How can this be stopped? Was it already in the works or did they do this without notice?

dckate.bsky.social•28 days ago

As your constituent and voter, keep pushing back... And then keep pushing forward. Times of chaos bring opportunity, and the America that emerges from this must be a kinder, more inclusive, more progressive place.

reluctantrebel.bsky.social•28 days ago

I wrote your office about Elon being a national security risk about 2 years ago and you did fuck all. Now we're here. Nothing about this is surprising.

captdonworrymiller.bsky.social•27 days ago

And no IG to raise the details of the concern into the spotlight

skankzilla.bsky.social•27 days ago

The entire country was sold for less than 1% of what was paid for Twitter. And to think, none of this apocalypse would have been possible without either purchase

whataboutism16.bsky.social•27 days ago

« […] raising new conflict of interest concerns. »

Such a tame headline!
