How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Elon Musk dismantled USAID as it was investigating Starlink for shutting down satellites over Ukraine to help Russia.

Elon Musk shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as it was about to regulate big tech financial operations.

Don’t be surprised. This is EXACTLY how oligarchies work.

For our non-CDC friends "the juice is worth the squeeze" is an idiosyncratic phrase often repeated at CDC for unknown reasons. We are now repurposing it for the fight. Keep up the pressure!

For White men: Boys will be boys. Don’t ruin his life.

For Black boys: Zero tolerance for misbehavior. Try him as an adult.

To be racist is to treat White adults like kids and Black kids like adults. To be antiracist is to treat all adults like adults and all kids like kids.

Yet another plane collision happened today but Transportation Secretary Duffy is too busy hyping Elon Musk upgrading aviation software and bickering with Hillary Clinton to even mention it.

He's inept.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

We desperately, urgently need a media that isn’t afraid to name this as the evisceration of the federal government. That is what is going on. We cannot only be comfortable using such language when the situation is far away in time or space. It’s happening here. We need to be clear.

Billionaires want to get rid of entire government departments but are pushing for tax breaks that are more expensive than what these departments cost to run.

Shame.

What could go wrong?!

"We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems," one of the officials said. "That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications."

If it wasn't a Nazi salute, why did NBC edit it out?

Why did Musk edit it out of the video he posted on his own account?

Why did some Australian networks not broadcast it in a country where doing a Nazi salute is a crime in some states?

Answer: It was a Nazi salute.

Trump is on his way to creating a government of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires.
BREAKING: Trump's wealthy cabinet nominees and transition officials are worth a combined $313 BILLION.

That's 616x higher than the mean wealth of the typical American household.

This is how you build a system that only works for the wealthy and their corporations.
