Taxpayers: “Elon Musk stole from me. I intended my tax $ to go to health & research & education, as directed by my elected legislators, but he has decided to intercept these payments.

I mean this with every fuck you I can muster to every person who voted a monster into office (or didn’t vote):This is the greatness they’ve been building towards. Incompetent evil people should not lead anything. There is no heads down riding through the next 4 years. apnews.com/article/coas...
