Well, great timing for this article. Mother Jones reporting Musk trying to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which will be absolutely pivotal for the rest of us who believe in democracy and freedom and rights and that stuff.

sounds about right. it's not actually about making things better, cheaper, or more efficient, it's about keeping certain pockets lined and exploiting as much as possible for the benefit of a few shitty fossil fuel billionaires and their lackeys. these people do not care about America or its future.

This is how authoritarians seize and hold power. This is not a real agency and it has no legitimate authority other than what Congress and the courts grant it by doing nothing.

Yes, This. Americans don't want their country to become more dangerous and shitty at every level. They want functioning public schools, VA services, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, safe food (USDA), safe travel (FAA), safe medicines & health care (NIH), & so on. That means gov't employees.

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.
