disappointed—but not surprised— that the gray lady swooped this story without attribution.

He’s insane.

Elon Musk is taking a sword to essential federal spending while continuing to reap billions from federal contracts. He’s making massive profits, while the American people pay the cost.

follow the $$$.

At least six independent inspectors general fired by Trump all have one thing in common: their agencies investigated Elon Musk's corporations. Musk's crusade against the government isn't about "waste" or "efficiency." It's about shielding himself from accountability.

Elon Musk is operating with ❌ NO checks on power ❌ NO transparency ❌ NO limits on access Now, Trump’s billionaire puppet master is actively putting people in danger.
