"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

Federal employees are the canary in the coal mine for all other workers here in the US. Union and non-union. Look at how Elon treated Twitter employees and now federal workers. It’s coming to your employer next. #unionstrong #afgestrong #supportfederalemployees www.afge.org/article/124-...

Yes, indeed — what the fuck!!! 😡

www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog... Just letting this sit here. They have access to social security info, national security info and now IRS info. Just sit with that for a second. CONGRESS DO SOMETHING!

I don’t see how this could possibly go wrong. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Irony. The richest man who gets $8m/day from government subsidies calling everyone else parasites. #FuckElon
