This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

The top 1% evades $163 billion in taxes each year and many Fortune 500 companies pay an effective tax rate of 0%. President Musk is cutting 6000, mostly enforcement, jobs at the IRS because he feels the rich aren’t exploiting the system enough. Grift.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

“Once I called an editor…he said ‘Is this another piece about rich people? Because if it is, you don’t need to bother.’ And this is when it became clear. That I could write about divisive issues, but never write about things that might, in fact, bring the rest of us together.”

This is Luke Farritor. He is the 23 year old that fired all the staff in charge of our nuclear arsenal. Don't worry, though. He completed an internship with SpaceX, so I'm sure he is clearly qualified to determine whether our nuclear arms should be adequately staffed by qualified persons. 🤯🤯🤯

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

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.
