Elon Musk is requesting all the IRS data so he can see all the taxes everybody has paid. One of the first things the Nazis did was go through Social Security data and find everybody who had never worked. They then murdered every disabled person who hadn't.

The Roman Empire collapsed because it was led by completely incompetent Emperors who spent their time on ridiculous and self destructive schemes. Fast forward 1500 years and the USA is doing exactly the same. Elect a clown, watch the empire burn.

Nothing to see here — other than the US President admitting that “a whole civilisation has been wiped out in Gaza”, while doubling down on ethnic cleansing & the mass displacement of 2.2 million. A genocide that the US & UK have armed, funded & defended every step of the way.
