Elon Musk got $38 BILLION from the US Government. That's the equivalent to $112 for every adult & child in the United States. The USDA has a budget of $500 for emergency food relief. That's less than $2 for every American. But, sure, we can afford Musk's toys but not to keep Americans alive.

The online map went live Monday, displaying the names, addresses and contact information of some Tesla owners and dealerships and members of the Trump admin, in an attempt to whip up further backlash against Musk for his role in the Trump admin.

🧵 The passage of this dangerous Republican funding bill is a travesty. The ongoing administrative coup led by Donald Trump and Elon Musk is a constitutional crisis. The authoritarians stripping away our rights and trying to loot the government to enrich the billionaires are a five-alarm fire.

This. Shout this from the rooftops. Add in the propaganda that tricks voters into thinking this is the American way and you’ve got the MAGA playbook.

On Tuesday, tRump made the absurd announcement he’d label violence against Tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism. Flanked by his BFF Musk, he attempted to show solidarity while the company’s stock plummets & protests erupt. More protests against Tesla, please! www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Newscasters continue to talk about how much money Musk has lost! The richest little petal on the planet. How about how much money an average American (me!) has lost under the Trump regime? TALK ABOUT THAT!! 🤬

Judge Howell sets a hearing on Perkins Coie motion for 2 pm tomorrow--as fast as conceivable really. That is going to be a torture session for the DOJ lawyer kicked into service. The order blackballing the firm is indefensible, and, as always, packed with lies. She's going to lower the boom.

Elon Musk is learning that a large segment of his potential customer base simply won't buy his cars regardless of features at any price. Jeff Bezos is learning the same lesson about his newspaper. He has broken trust with his readers. That won't be fixed via reorganization.

The richest man in the world is trying to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat and he’s already resorted to deceptive ads. Republicans have the billionaires who control most of the media — grassroots Democrats have got to step up and fight back.

Musk, sitting atop DOGE, is also watching his own companies -- like Starlink -- get federal contracts from agencies he's currently muscling -- like the FAA -- while competitors -- like Verizon -- stand to lose out. All in a day's work. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

As we’ve been saying on Strict Scrutiny, @strictscrutiny.bsky.social, SCOTUS (Roberts & Co.) have to own so much of what Trump 2.0 is doing - they cleared the way for his re-election, and effectively anointed him a king above the law.
