“Musk's ‘fraud’ rhetoric is presented as an anti-politics, as something fresh and exciting. But it is in fact a politics, a very old sort, the politics of oligarchy.” open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Acosta: He is, essentially, a part-time president who has delegated the presidency to Elon Musk. And the question folks are going to have to start asking—and I think they already are—is: What the hell did we vote for here?

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

In spite of my B+, I’ll admit I did not entirely grasp my college eco class. So I’m not quite understanding how laying off thousands of federal workers helps the economy.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Indeed. Given his role, Elon Musk is subject to challenge as a principal Officer under Article II who must be appointed with Senate confirmation. Such a challenge is bound to be made and would need to be taken very seriously.

We're in the midst of a constitutional crisis. The world's richest man is effectively orchestrating a coup. At the very least, Senate Dems should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues. Nothing should be "business as usual."

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

Don’t let Trump’s flurry of executive orders overshadow his effort to rewrite history by pardoning Jan 6 attackers. They were not “hostages.” They are criminals convicted of committing political violence after receiving due process in court. https://buff.ly/4hqvnPx

I’m no fan of guilt by association, but it does seem worth noting that on the night of the 2024 presidential election, a notorious German neo-Nazi group, AfD, met with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and has since been warmly embraced by virtual co-president Elon Musk. Birds of a feather . . . 🦅

We now confront the unprecedented problem of an unelected South African half-trillionaire holding hostage an unstable and vengeful president with a thermonuclear arsenal and a barely Republican (221-214) Congress as the rough beast of tyranny slouches toward Bethlehem.

Elon Musk spent $277 million to get Trump elected, but he’s $276 billion richer since the election and has Trump under his thumb. That’s a return of 1,000 to 1. Not too shabby! He didn’t become earth’s richest man by making dumb investments.
