Trying to explain this story as if one is speaking to a small child. Members of congress, whose job it is to set federal spending, now get to call Elon, who is for some reason controlling federal spending, to plead for changes to federal spending????? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/03/05/musk-congress-anger-doge/

Emperor Tiberius re the Roman Senate
- as (mis)quoted by Gore Vidal
Congress begs a billionaire man-child for spending changes?! 🤡🚨 This is NOT democracy—it’s a tech bro coup in progress!
👉 Follow me if you refuse to bow to billionaires!
We truly are the pinnacle of intelligent life on this planet.

271 people and we can’t find a single one that says eff this.
I really can’t wrap my head around that.
A Congressional member with a clean history is a threat to their hold on power.
I guess they don't want to give up THEIR perks - they'd rather US give up what WE are entitled to!
VOTE THEM OUT!
musk can get bent.
So can any elected official that trusts that bro.
He can't do it, that's *why* he's trying to pretend the Democrats have to help him - and why he's having his media allies pre-blame Democrats for the highly unpopular shutdown that he's engineering.
No mention of the coup or what he's doing or what we should be doing.
The business as usual behavior of Dems/Socialists is glaring and it's like they can't even turn it off despite all the ridicule / disappointment
Then the GOP legislators conspire with the executive to destroy non-Republican priorities and authorize spending ONLY on things Republicans want to fund.
It’s over folks.
Democrats don't get to kiss the ring.
Govt of the mafia, by the mafia. F^ck the people, they get what they get and they don't complain or we'll round 'em up
Trump thinks federal money and federal land belongs to the POTUS and he has the right to do with it as he pleases.
That's why he's trying to sell the DOJ and FBI headquarters.
Norms only stand when we stand for them.
There will always be people who think they are better than the rest of us. That the rules don't apply. That their "success" makes them great. None of this is true.
Tesla auto is toast, he was talking about Tesla AI
Tesla xAI trains LLMs on US Data Infrastructure
Tesla xAI AI Agents will be operational over all US Taxpayer IDs
Cambridge Analytica X 1M!
Musk is king.
He’s a goof.
They get to gut the parts of the federal government they don't like without having to negotiate with other Congressmen or put a vote on record, and can just blame Musk when people get mad.
Musk is lying again.
That's it. That's all.
It's so transparent and I don't know why they keep sharing it.
Oh wait. I know. A Congressperson would do that. A Dem would do it while lamenting how regrettable this all is.
if the Founders had known a bunch of cowards afeared of a mean tweet, or real people at their Town Hall meetings, would petrify a whole-ass party into cheerfully welcoming oligokleptocracy, AND the president would lead the way
Elected Dems aren't going to save us or lead the opposition, we've gotta figure this out ourselves and grind DOGE to a halt along w every other fascist crime.
.lolololol
He promised to slash YOUR JOB and you clapped all the way. #ETTD #WHHT (we hate him too) #impeachNapoElon
Musk must be sent back to Africa.
We need help from data analysts, devs and DevOps to accelerate the resistance and organize the fight against the DOGE

And, Dems likely do not have such a channel of communication.
A federal government for red states only.
