He nails it.

Here’s how many billions Elon Musk’s companies are making from U.S. taxpayers

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

This is correct.

Trump wants to gut Social Security but he just spent neatly $11 million in one month of our tax dollars to play golf. Trump is the Marie Antoinette of America--and we all know how that story ended. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to people who were cheated by big banks and credit card companies. So why are Trump and Musk gutting an agency that's returning money to people who were scammed? For them, this has never been about cutting costs.

If you support Ukraine and voted for Elon/Trump, you are a TRAITOR! Ukraine don't want you! If you support Palestine and voted for Elon/Trump, you are a TRAITOR! Palestine don't want you! If you are a union member and voted for Elon/Trump, you are a TRAITOR and SCAB! The union family want you out!

The IRS is preparing to give DOGE access to sensitive taxpayer data. The systems contain the private financial data tied to millions of Americans, including their tax returns, Social Security numbers, addresses, banking details and employment information.

🚨 SCOOP: DOGE is seeking personal taxpayer data at IRS, sources tell me. 🚨 Trump admin is pushing IRS to agree to an MOU that would give DOGE access to granular data on every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country.

"nobody even knows where the [national debt] money went and you’re not allowed to ask." Huh? Its all public record at OMB, CBO, & Treasury websites, which I've also used to publish 600 reports, articles, & chart books specifying where all the money went. You can log off Twitter and go look it up!

Spot on.

Elon Musk and DOGE have failed to cut spending despite creating massive chaos in the federal government, according to a review of official data by The Economist. In fact, spending might actually be up since Trump took office.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

Musk totally humiliated Trump during their joint Oval Office press conference. Musk brought along his 4-year-old son — making Trump look like the kid’s babysitter — disrespectfully wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump. It’s clear who’s really in control, and it ain’t Trump.

Elon Musk was mocked after raging against "unelected bureaucrats" in an Oval Office rant oblivious to the fact that he was describing himself.

I want off this timeline.

A mystery for the ages.

This is just insane and you all know that, right? Unelected, unfettered, untouchable, unsupported by facts and completely without transparency: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

This says it all
