DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

Russian disinfo network “Matryoshka” is migrating to Bluesky as exodus from X continues. You may notice them as posters who are smearing Chrystia Freeland, pushing anti-Ukrainian narratives, Germany's election, anti-EU rhetoric, anti-NATO rhetoric, etc. Their numbers are still low, so stay vigilant

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010. It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.
