To spend more B I L L I O N S OF $S on 'AI' which are made to steal jobs of the human beings, even in theory, are also able to kill them all for more power as presented wisely by Hollywood for about 40 years in style?? Elon again makes NONSENSE like he always do recently since his nazi(sh) salute!

I apologize to the world: Elon Musk doesn't speak for the United States. I have no idea why anyone should listen to the South African silver spoon toddler.

Why hasn’t this guy been deported???!!! And sent to prison???

He spent a lot of money buying Trump.

smithkdum.bsky.social•119 days ago

He bought votes left and right and will continue buying them around the world if he’s not stopped. I thought I was going 2 🤮 when I saw Bezos, Zuckerberg, etc front and center behind who THEY KNOW is a POS TYRANT. Everyone Cheeto “befriends” is as complicit as MAGATs & the GOP.

And MAGATs who follow him BLINDLY!

Who voted for Musk?

frayedwitch.bsky.social•119 days ago

He's just following Putin's orders.

pilgram2025.bsky.social•119 days ago

Musk has accumulated exactly zero votes in any election to be a representative of any citizen in this country. How else do you define "oligarchy"?

zebnorris.bsky.social•119 days ago

Proposed?

Elon just brag tweeted that he put USAID “through the wood chipper”

They're handing the rest of the world over to China. A friendless America is a powerless America.

Help!

Can you please start acknowledging that these power grabs are illegal and flagrantly unconstitutional? It makes me insane to see media institutions pretend this is business-as-usual politics.

He hasn't proposed anything! He said he did it. They are locked out. It's not proposed.

loudlily.bsky.social•119 days ago

He is not proposing it. He is doing it. The alarm must be rung.

No one elected Space Karen broligarch Elon Musk .. so why is he running the country?

America is on fire - what are Democrats doing about it?

betsy-cazden.bsky.social•119 days ago

A bunch of them got back to DC today and did a fire-alarm press conference at the USAID building. C-Span covered it. Jeffries also issued a strong statement on plans going forward. Sen. Schatz is putting a hold on all nominees. That's just this morning. It's a start.

"Proposed" is doing a lotta work.

halfhungarchie.bsky.social•119 days ago

Who in the fuck is running our nation, is it Elon Musk or is it Trump and our Congress?

lady-dem.bsky.social•118 days ago

It’s ELON….and if Trump thinks he’s the President - watch and see how long that lasts…It’s ELON!

Musk hasn't just "proposed" it. He's gone ahead over the weekend and just did it, and now Trump says it's fine, no problem, good idea. Polite debates over its usefulness are so last Thursday.
