There is no legal architecture that allows Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, to remake the entire federal government without running afoul of criminal conflict of interest laws. In other words, there's no way that his role is legal, constitutional, or compatible with democratic governance.

Today, Trump blamed Ukraine for starting Putin’s war! Pretty sure we all know what that means. Ukraine is f*cked if the EU doesn’t stand by them…

MAGA in DC just being told that Trump just said the inauguration will now be inside: “So we’re not gonna see it in person? I don’t like it. We came all the way from OK. We might as well stayed home & watched it on TV. It sucks. We have farms. We don’t get to not feed the cows cause it’s cold.”

Watching Trump supporters stream into DC for the inauguration you might mistake them for a crowd at a homecoming game. Wearing scarves and hats and banners and dressed to impress it is clear MAGA is also all identity politics. It is about belonging to a club. It is about a culture.

The most absurd thing about this whole brouhaha is no one—not even Tik Tok—calls on Congress to amend or repeal the dumb law it made. It’s just the president or the courts who can act now, in literally every prominent voice’s conception.
