THIS ‼️

submitted 1 day ago • 215 comments

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct. Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

So, Verizon and Starlink are both trying to get a contract to upgrade the system. Musk puts it out there that Verizon is doing a terrible job, even through they DO NOT manage the system. Elon does a smear campaign on Verizon so HIS COMPANY get the contract. SHADY AF! www.yahoo.com/finance/news...

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.

How do we maintain common decency when monsters are in charge? Part of the way to do this, I believe, is to celebrate integrity wherever we find it — like the actions of Danielle Sassoon. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/surviving-in-a-time-of-monsters

A SpaceX rocket exploded in January, leading to FAA safety violation fines. Elon Musk threatened to sue the agency. Shortly after, the FAA administrator resigned. The FAA's commercial spaceflight office could be next on the DOGE chopping block. See the problem? www.propublica.org/article/elon...

Don't let Trump flood your zone. Stay focused. Keep your eye on what this corrupt regime is really doing — looting the government to line their own pockets with massive tax cuts and the ability to steer more federal contracts their way.

Ironic that he was pardoned for Jan 6 riot, where law enforcement was attacked and put in harm’s way, only to end up in a fatal altercation with a police officer. His actions on both fronts raise questions about accountability and the cycle of violence that continues. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
