If anyone knows Elon Musk, Social Security number today would be a great day to get that out there

rtechgaming.bsky.social•13 days ago

Musk taking over IT would be like hiring a bank robber as bank security.

Old Trump Donald had a Musk
EO EO Oh
And with this Musk he raided the Treasury
EO EO Oh
With an injunction here and a barment there
Here a crony. There a crony. Everywhere a phony crony

Old Trump Donald had a Musk
EO EO Oh

President Musk and V.P. Trump! Anyone at the Super Bowl please ask trump, "Where's President Musk?"

He will there.

I do subscribe to Mother Jones. It’s also a good time to donate to their legal defense fund.

Why have a task force when "we never have to vote again?"

athenaveritas.bsky.social•17 days ago

Anyone who hasn’t momentarily entertained the deeply concerning notion an unholy triad of wealthy oligarchs, powerful Tech Bros & Religious zealots are seeking world domination w/ support of authoritarian world leaders, either hasn’t been paying attention or has better rein on their imagination…

athenaveritas.bsky.social•17 days ago

Is there any legal clarification on whether or not those positions be classified without congressional approval?

I know everyone is talking about mass demonstrations to show our anger. But there is a better way. Stay home. All of us who voted not here. It would e be easy. We are covid trained

boerjebrandt.bsky.social•17 days ago

The people have the power now !

Politicians within the @democrats.org are in minority both on Congress & Senate.

So, its the people who have the power - to change.

Boycott RED States.

That may pave the way to flip Congress & Senate.

Trump & Musk are engaging in a rapid dismantling of our ENTIRE gov't. They intend to establish a Putin-style oligarchy.

So far they are succeeding.

Fellow Americans, this is it! Our republic is in REAL danger of dying.

RESIST! It's now or never.

As @hcrichardson.bsky.social wrote this week: "The replacement of our constitutional system of government with the whims of an unelected private citizen is a coup."

momsapplepie.bsky.social•16 days ago

There's nothing quite like giving the keys to the kingdom to the marauders in broad daylight. These feckless GOP members better wake TFU. No one, not even they, are safe with Musk.

kastero.bsky.social•17 days ago

Trumps initial message was;
"National unity is now returning to America, and confidence and pride is soaring like never before.... we will not forget our God."
But he is pulling god around by the nose, if Mother Jones is right, that Musk is "placing cronies and ideologues into ... key posts".

Musk, the sick, thieving creep who has entranced Herr Trumpf.

merri24.bsky.social•17 days ago

Might as well take over the whole country then. This has got to fucking stop.

tjmcm.bsky.social•16 days ago

Elon never expected to find any fraud during his late night raids on data centers. It was all setting the stage for him to design and control new IT infrastructure.

mrsplc33.bsky.social•16 days ago

I’m not sure there is a legal way to stop him from being hired as an employee. I mean there are huge conflict of interest normal people would be concerned with but certain not Trump. This needs more traction!

ktbobaytee.bsky.social•16 days ago

Don't just get a subscription for yourself, get one for a family member. I'm amused every month imagining my father's reaction when he gets the mail and finds his latest issue waiting for him.

Doubt he reads it, but I'm ever hopeful.

g6meboi.bsky.social•17 days ago

His overreach in USAID is not only a HIPPA violation, but it’s also a conflict of interest where his political insights grant him unfair intelligence about his competitors in Silicon Valley. He’s not only a threat to tech with his potential for corrupt oligarchal monopoly, but to democracy itself.

lmfiore.bsky.social•14 days ago

Pro Publica is better.

magneticsara.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yeah, but it's good to have more than one reporting outfit we can rely on.

carynrose.bsky.social•14 days ago

yes because we should only subscribe to one outlet, that will definitely help

gardener4ever.bsky.social•16 days ago

Until we all call our senators and representatives and remind them that they work for us; they will work for Donald.
We all need to take an active part and remind them that Donald's only leverage over them is his ability to convince us to follow his agenda.
We must all take action immediately!

melissahbuckner.bsky.social•14 days ago

I have been gifting On Tyranny to family and friends for years. Now I carry it and copies of the Constitution in my purse and give them to people I meet. The cashier in the local grocery has been meaning to read your book. Now she has her own copy! Thank you.

And what is stopping him now from loading several systems into xAI Grok? Not just the data but also all the application logic, even if it is some exotic COBOL dialect from the 60's from before databases emerged or the 2.1 million lines of VistA MUMPS?

Judges & our courts will be working overtime.
This, none of this, is sustainable.
It will implode.
BUT-DEMS are weak & over their skis.
MANY are too old not at all relatable.
ALL they know how to do is talk & run for office.
Imagine not being able to defeat an ENEMY for 10 years!
We need new DEMS
