Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class struggles—yet he paints us as the enemy.

If only the entire country had the courage to not pay their bills, not go to work, and flood the streets en masse until this shit show ends with Dump hanging in the front of the Capitol Building and Dusk in prison.
There’s a big CPE event Feb 19 & 20 for financial managers, accountants and auditors in federal, state and local government. It happens every February. I’m wondering if the sponsoring orgs lock all our in app texting capabilities during the training and if half the presenters r missing.
I don’t see him donating those $400 million teslas, he’s just making himself richer while destroying families and hurting all the citizens that rely upon government departments. It’s the department of government evil and we will never forget or forgive.
74% of US workers are employed at will. This means they can be fired for no reason with no severance. MAGAts, instead of wondering why they didn't have any job protections are cheering on the destruction of others' protections.
They are going to outsource the jobs. Friends of Orange Jesus will get rich, the jobs will be lower paid with few benefits, and the taxpayers will pay the same amount in taxes.
I’m so scared tonight. I feel like I’m jumping out of my skin. What’s going to happen this week? This year? In two years? How many will be fired this week? Will I be one of them? Is this the end of the free world? How tf am I going to do this for four years. I’m paralyzed tonight.
I'm scared too. I'm a self-employed artist, so I can't be fired, per se. But I'm scared people won't be able to afford my work. And we artists are already reeling from so much AI flooding the market.
I know, right? It feels like I can't do anything. I've thought about protest art (like graffiti or murals). But I'm caring for a family member with dementia, a lot of animals, so I can't afford to be out late at night doing who knows what where. But I really dream of doing it!
Ug. That sounds very difficult. Trying to balance everything while being a care taker. Then all this bs on top of it. I hope one day you get to do the exact kind of art you want to do!
“We the people” are not a division by party, the modern day billionaires are trying to centralize power & permanently gut those in the middle for their greedy gain. The sooner those that supported Trump realize this the better. 50 trillion in our net wealth shifted to the top 2% in just 44 years.
Just watching this in despair and wishing some of the unions could occupy these buildings/sensitive areas and hold them until courts rule this illegal. They know they're coming, barricade enmass. Everyone is just watching this extraordinary evil happen and responding with normal protest gatherings.
I am 54 years old living with my mother because I can. It find a job since I got fired from Tesla because someone I never met or talked with accused me of being me a nazi skinhead because i can’t grow hair and they fired both of us .
Yea right , I want my job back . ( the guy that accused me of being a racist is now in a class action lawsuit with Tesla but I can’t be involved because I am not black and they don’t want my side of the story heard ) .
I cleaned restrooms and maintained campgrounds for a government public land agency. I scraped by financially, and the public had clean, safe, maintained places to recreate because I and similarly paid co-workers did that.
Gawd if I had 8mil a day even for 2 days, I’d make the most of it. Including buying the 9 bedroom house up the road for friends that need a home, paying off vehicles for family, paying off mortgages for family, paying student loans, donating to the disaster relief program, donating to housing
Feb. 28. No buy day. Mark your calendars. Keep calling your reps using the 5 calls website. There were nation wide protests today bigger than the previous one. They are trying to control the narrative but we know better.
Wow…$8M a day. No wonder he’s shutting down the government agencies investigating him and steadily increasing the government contracts with his companies. He’s got a lifestyle to subsidize. What a POS
Dog he can’t even play video games without paying someone to do it for him so he can flaunt how “good” he is. You think he could survive paycheck to paycheck?
8 million per day is the amount of our tax money he gets from the federal government every day. The average social security recipient gets 68 dollars per day from the government.
He gets 8 million from the government plus the money from his business.
I know he couldn’t do the jobs we do. We do hard work. Manual labor that requires moving around and working not having others do the work for you. I do janitorial work starting at 3 am. No way he could do it or would do it. Not for my pay check
Please. He couldn't survive the average person's commute. He couldn't survive a solo trip to Costco.
But Musk wouldn't survive a week as one of us primarily because we don't have losers lining up to tell us how great we are every minute of the day, and he can't survive without constant validation.
We need A cease & desist order against Musk, who lacks the constitutional authority to cut funding & a class action lawsuit filed against private citizen Musk requiring disclosure of all federal funds allocated or paid to him or his entities. I would sign on & my guess would be millions would join.
Tax billionaires the same 22% I'm getting hammered with, and take away all their tax shelters and loopholes to hide their money. Get a few years of that rolling in. See what happens.
I know back in the 80s it was something like 80%, but just make it so they can't avoid the 22% and let it rip.
To call them tax cuts is misleading. They are raiding the government coffers and all public entities to further enrich themselves. They have no plans to fund anything, just convert everything to money making machines for their class. Prisoners will be "leased" for labor to corporate farms. Watch.
He’s crippling the government so there is no means of organized complaint when they steal our money for tax cuts. People can’t effectively mass for protest when they are looking for a means to feed their families.
Can we burn through even more of his salary by cutting off all his streams of revenue and deporting him back to Africa? More and more proof of his election tabulation machine hack is surfacing to prove Trump had a fraudulent win. They are both criminals who reject the rule of law
Seniors like me rely a lot on social security payments. If Musk messes with that, 50 million of us old people will smash through the White House and do away with him.
He's taking for granted that we're too old and demented like Trump. Not true. There's power in numbers and he has no boundaries. He's about to eff around and really find out.
Lord we ask for peace for those who need peace, reconciliation for those who need reconciliation and comfort for all who don't know what tomorrow will bring🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
As a Disabled Person who *wanted* to work to that, a lot of Disabled People will do their best to roll, hobble, and 6-legged [my preferred stance] walk there too.
I didn’t, and neither did most of the working class. This is a classist remark. It’s also the kind of attitude that’s contributed to my giving up on solidarity with most “middle class” dems.
Mmm-I didn’t vote for our currents either, but I have no idea how saying many did is classist—other than using the words “middle class” which does says class in the phrase. Many in this “demographic” did.. or is using this phrase the issue?
I am happy to stand corrected.
The whole point of civil service rules is to prevent a tyrant for firing people who don’t support him. Calling it “performance issues” doesn’t change it from what it really is
All this maga idiots know someone who is a government employee. They know how hard we work for how little money. Yet they are so quick to believe evidence-less propaganda that we are cheats.
Everyone not in the millionaire/billionaire class is in the "parasite class" The wealthy pay little in taxes Tariffs are a bust, it would be a tax on the wealthy, too As the "parasites" are slaughtered and taxed into debt, how will Pres Musk get his $8 million a day? These "geniuses" are morons!
In no world could that demon seed relate to my life, sit in my dining room and impart any advice I haven't given to myself, or give two fucks about another human that wasn't making his latest kid.
He's a broken man - just like his newest toy - Shitler.
Even sadder part is he is burning through our money. Corporations and billionaires would not exist without the humans working at and paying for their products. A #generalstrike is very much in order.
This isn't the first time in history the rich have tried to hold down the poor. The French, historically, have excellent solutions for this exact situation.
Go to @skyeperryman.bsky.social As head of Democracy Forward, she has many lawyers to assist government employees. 202-448-9090 [email protected] Please repost as often as possible. Get the word out. You have been illegally fired. You can sue. Bring your case to Democracy Forward ASAP.
EVERY POLITICIAN SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE A YEAR OFF AN HOURLY MINIMUM WAGE JOB. Rent, transportation, utilities, food, clothing, etc. No help from outside sources, start with $0 in their bank account and a cell phone with 60 minutes prepaid. Let's see what they can do with their boot straps!
Stop paying federal income taxes zero out your deductions on your pay checks you would have to settle up on 2026 income filing. But we could stop the flow of monies
He wants to annihilate your jobs and federal protections of lands and parks. Teddy Roosevelt is rolling over in his grave! He wants to buy and develop nationally protected parks. It’s painfully obvious.
Why is he the only one who can charge 8 million a day, when most consultants to the government (I was one) had to charge government rates with a specific per diem.
The unelected, unvetted criminal and his crimnal hackers must be stopped. They exist to steal from us. The conflicts of interest are so numerous and shockingly relevant. He's attacking the agencies who have questioned him. He just wants all our money. #DOGE
And firing probies who may arguably be the most excited and motivated part of the fed workforce. Not saying our career peeps aren’t and we def need those more experienced to help us learn but like…the probies? The ones who have *recently* fought tooth and nail to get into the positions they have???
Always remember he is another pampered racist rich kid born in apartheid S. Africa who could, by constitution, never be an American President! Doubt his ego could accept that.
I’m convinced Elon’s goal is to herd us all into desperation, force us to implant his brain chips, and turn us into the Borg. He wants complete control of mankind, and thinks violating our banking systems and ssn identities will force us to use implanted computer chips and cryptocurrency.
He paints you as the enemy because he can't control you. Even Shitler kept the masses in check by providing money and a identity that made them feel special. Disgruntled workers will be a formidable force without further stimulus payments.
His inferiority as a sentient being requires vast amounts of wealth to support his sloppy decisions, drug-addled changes of direction and his addiction to lying. Super expensive.
Scott Walker and Wisconsin were the testing ground for this type of attack, and most Wisconsinites fell for it. Blamed the states deficit on public employees and slashed everything.
Of course we're the enemy.
We remind him that there are people out there who aren't yet commodities to be purchased on a whim.
Rich people are mentally, morally ethically and emotionally bankrupt-we are not all yet.
We haven't sold our souls for money yet.
Not just bankrupt, they're psychopaths. Highly recommend "The Psychopath Test" by @jonronson.bsky.social , details how people have to essentially have no functioning empathy to reach the highest rungs of success
Yeah when my closet is all second hand and my underwear has holes from 10 years ago. I bet he doesn’t even fathom that most of us do this for the love of our country, our love for our profession, and not the money.
He'd never survive and unless there's radical upheaval he never will get near to smelling the air over the homes of people who have to live like that. A shame Luigi went for the wrong CEO imo.
He has always had more than any of us. My wife grew up only having school lunches for food. I have gone weeks with just $5 in my pocket to feed me. And someone who buys Twitter and loses millions and goes "meh" thinks he knows value and waste.
He’d just eat ramen all day and sit around with his hand in his pants. I don’t think he has any idea that there could be more to life than being an edgelord.
Acting like some GS-9 is running around in a GD Porsche or some BS. Its sickening tht thy are making out civil sevants as lazy, non technically skilled waste to be tossed aside. Its an insult to all of the civil servants in this country. Thy all do the thankless work tht keeps the cogs turning!🤬🤬🤬
He’s a thief. People who look up to him are not critical thinkers. Alot of Americans are not critical thinkers, and just want to get along and be on the winning team. Well it’s time to make the winning team not to be racist, transphobic and autocratic. #TaxtheRich
We need to find a way to change the conversation because right now they are winning on the communications front. Where are the blue billionaires that can buy press outlets?
The working class is struggling for rent, healthcare and food while Elon is burning $8 million a day and portraying the average person as the enemy. This is what they call the 'free market'?
I figure he sees himself as der ubermensch, and the wealth disparity is inherent to who he is. He sees himself so far above that he is right to treat the world as a play pen, because no one else really matters, or possibly even exists.
I thought it would be sooner…that DonOld couldn’t share the limelight… but apparently Elmo now ranks a notch under Vlad and is really running the show 😬 while 🍊 🤡 golfs and takes car rides …
Thinking about possibly protest strategies…like farmers moving all there heavy farmer equipment to block every highway in the country.
Or human chains blocking Musk owned businesses
That what the shock and awe intimidation is about. Making us afraid. We can’t let it work. Btw - Trump and Musk are using a private security company #contellis formerly owned by Erik Prince (Blackwater) to protect the DOGE boys and block Congress from entering Agencies where they’re working. 😳😱
And Dumpster burns through tax dollars for having fun with his granddaughter as they play bumper car games. I heard it was around 10 mil for security. That's a waste! Right!
Let’s do a Big Brother edition with the salary of a self employed small business and buying his own health insurance the heat bill. Income tax self emolument tax, payroll tax. Liability insurance and worker’s comp. Home insurance. Gas. Car payments. Car insurance. Vet bills. Car repairs. Milk, egg
This is exactly what I would propose if on a jury for prez muskkk or pino trump.....make it a year on a 9-5 median salary, have at least one kid need braces then find out your wife is expecting #6. Ok....the kid #6 might be me just going too far.
I love this post, but I don't wanna give him any ideas to disappear on the Appalachian Trail... he fit in with all the murderers, however we want to get rid of of people like him

🐻 We’ll get through this together, hang in there, pals.
Was given a Smokey "RESIST" sticker today. It will go on my car's back glass. Grateful for Alt NPS.
It shows that real people are being affected by this illegal, indiscriminate labor action against Federal employees.

This is truly ironic.
Really awful for you, but the irony is stunning.
Hoping you find something soon.
I know you're hurting.
Keep looking.

Do you have anything to add to the solutions fire?
He probably would have been one of the school shooters he encourages with his right-wing bullshit.

Off with his head, I say.
Folks who live paycheck to paycheck.
I am happy to stand corrected.
He’d cry 10 minutes into it.
I’d like to see him change a tire, a diaper, a filter on a furnace
Let him. We outnumber and out-arm him.
The more he destroys, the more support he loses.
He's a broken man - just like his newest toy - Shitler.
Looks like someone is trying to
DOdGE lawsuits!

Take Elon’s money away and he’s just a crybaby.
There is a bear and/or moose out there just waiting to end him.
Another one for the wall.
