apachetrout.bsky.social•1 day ago

Need a time stamp on all Musk decisions, then compare it with lawyer statements to the court, Press Secretary statements, and Trump statements. Sure seems like a whole lot of false presentations...

jbrage.bsky.social•1 day ago

Idk, one COULD argue that that statement suggests things weren’t like that before!

Trump’s gotta be the dumbest criminal in history. That he’s ascended to the White House - TWICE - is an indictment of the collective wisdom, or lack thereof, of the people of this country.

annabower.bsky.social•1 day ago

Government lawyers have been telling judges for weeks that Musk is not in charge and can only advise.

So once again I must ask: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, *FROM NOW ON*????

prairiecrab.bsky.social•1 day ago

I have no doubt this would be his response if put on the stand….

Channelling his mother again. As I keep saying, he's emotionally 7 years old.

And, "WHOM DO YOU MEAN"?

kylerich035.bsky.social•1 day ago

Pretty sure Musk was never granted any formal power and was always supposed to just be advisory, he just took it.

He doesn’t seem like the type to give it back just because Trump asked.

bradfordsweater.bsky.social•1 day ago

Starting to believe this is just one large elaborate trolling of Anna, nothing else makes sense

Seems like there’s some government lawyers who need a perjury charge.

blueontario.bsky.social•1 day ago

TBF, the government lawyers were being stonewalled when they asked for clarification from higher ups.

spinyfur.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m inclined to be charitable about that ONLY IF the lawyers were completely forthright with the court.

Telling the court, “my superiors refuse to answer that question,” is fine. Playing some kind of game in an attempt to mislead the court is not.

chrisdoll.bsky.social•1 day ago

Pour one out for Ann Gleason. We hardly knew her.

churchlady320.bsky.social•1 day ago

Plaintiff attorneys added Musk's name to the complaints Tuesday. No matter what pretense exists that he's not in charge, he's in charge, and he is liable for all past deeds.

Trump has no control over Musk. The technocrat neofeudalists want their own "Network State". Much easier to do with a nonfunctional United States Government. Even Steve Bannon warned us!

philosodork.bsky.social•1 day ago

I suspect that passage is gonna be appended to a filing in the case(s) alleging that Musk is performing the duties of an “officer of the United States” despite having never been nominated, let alone confirmed, for any such position.

cervonij.bsky.social•1 day ago

I do hope that someday we can compile and collate all these posts and properly illustrate Anna's slow descent into madness over this issue.

dbdant.bsky.social•1 day ago

Did he mean the Musk team would advise the secretaries that if they didn't fire the people they were advised to fire, they would be fired themselves?

donnamo.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump must have gotten the word that Musk is "polling horribly," to put it as if he might. It might make Trump "look bad."

dbchirpy.bsky.social•1 day ago

Musk was in charge. Evidence in court. And to see if it’s just a statement or a real actionable statement.

bskwitter.bsky.social•1 day ago

We know you must feel like you're taking crazy pills, but it's the US Government which has ingested the crazy MAGA red pills. And then they do things like "post inculpatory statements for the entire planet to see." Because they believe nothing matters anymore, except them. TBD

I wanna know where all of our data is. These little creepy hackers are holding it hostage.

bevball.bsky.social•1 day ago

Guessing Bessent regrets taking the job.
He is himself a billionaire, not crazy, did try to fight Musk off. Maybe he’s staying to defend Treasury?
Really can’t figure why he’d take this job.
Glad he did not attend this meeting.

melissjpeltier.bsky.social•1 day ago

He doesn’t mean it.
He can’t say no to Musk OR Putin.

somehooplehead.bsky.social•1 day ago

PU Musk (President Unelect) must have gotten all the data he needs to complete the train schedules to the gas camps. He's got what he needs. "Go fix your own government, chumps."

Sounds like he means from now on, Musk is “not in charge” anymore. Like, “not in charge” like he was all along when they kept insisting he “wasn’t in charge”.

Whether this leads to better decision making is highly dubious.

runswithspoons.bsky.social•1 day ago

"from now on" = we've updated our processes to have secretaries rubber stamp elon decisions as a formality. See "voluntold"

wudang96.bsky.social•1 day ago

He lies. Then, he lies again. And then, after that, you know.
Also, what does "advise" actually mean in this context?

bucks-county-lib.bsky.social•1 day ago

Didn't surprise me at all. Musk has an outsized influence.

He IS running the entire administration.

valwills8.bsky.social•1 day ago

Then he told the press that if the department heads couldn’t accomplish the cuts, Musk would do it.

jennrhubbard.bsky.social•1 day ago

aletheia777.bsky.social•1 day ago

Chris Hayes was spot on last night: they know they have a legal problem with Doggie and are *scrambling* to 'fix' it.

langdongrant.bsky.social•1 day ago

Then he went on TV a few hours later and completely undermined himself, basically saying that Musk is still calling the shots and if the Cabinet secretaries don't do the cuts he wants, Musk will do the cuts himself.

This clip is coming soon to a legal brief near you.

It's like the game they played during impeachment simultaneously arguing opposite sides of subpeonas in court and in Congress.

They are playing games with the Constitution. And judges/courts are too weak/slow to respond.

GOP Congress is just a bunch of self-gelded eunuchs sucking up lobby $$.

markabuchanan.bsky.social•1 day ago

Sorry, why are they allowed to give policy advice?

zathras5.bsky.social•1 day ago

“From now on” could be related to Musk’s drug use and mental state. Speculating here, obviously, but if he were to be on a downward spiral Cabinet Secretaries would be at less risk of Musk barging in and ordering them to dismantle one of their agencies.

lizrettenmaier.bsky.social•1 day ago

Isn’t that just code for Hesgeth and all the others to do exactly what Musk and Vought tell them to do, but claim as their own?

Why aren't journalists camped outside Amy Gleason's home, asking for interviews, interviewing her neighbors and co-workers -- If Trump named her as head of DOGE, we need to know more about her. https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/25/politics/amy-gleason-doge-acting-administrator/index.html
