So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Musk wants to inspect our IRS data to catch everyday Americans committing tax fraud—an overreach of DOGE’s power. Personal tax data has nothing to do with government efficiency.

Why does a 38-year old U.S. Attorney in SDNY, who is also a die hard conservative, have more guts and integrity than the entirety of the GOP Senate Conference combined?! Shame on the shameless sycophants and enablers there, who can’t find the spine to stand up to common MAGA bullies.

What's absolutely maddening about this moment is that media refuses to pay attention to Musk and Vance's neo-Nazi connections because they feel like it's unserious Twitter stuff... except, Musk and Vance take it so seriously they're putting these people in charge of the entire US government

Should a "kid" be given admin privileges to the Treasury payment system? Does a long history of promoting racism and eugenics show someone to be a "bad dude"? Everybody knows the answer to both, as does Vance. Hence his post: it's vice signaling, a core tenet of MAGA.

People gotta get it through their thick skulls: Elon Musk is not actually good at business. Tesla would have died many times over by now, if not for outright fraud. The tactics he is using on government now have destroyed Twitter as an experience and business. His other companies aren't profitable.
