Top Tesla investor Ross Gerber has issued Musk an ultimatum: If he is not prepared to quit his government job, he must step down as CEO.
He should stop meddling in our government and screwing the American people out of their jobs and benefits and go back to building his coffins on wheels.

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.
Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.
