A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

A specific thing I'd like to see: our leaders going beyond pointing out the illegality/destruction of what Musk is doing -- which is, of course, necessary -- and making the affirmative case FOR government.

A closer look at federal records shows Musk’s claims are vastly overstated, and the $55 billion figure lacks any real documentation. Share to help stop the spread of misinformation.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

A federal judge ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to proceed with mass terminations of probationary federal workers. The administration has already dismissed 6,700 employees from the IRS, with plans to lay off an additional 50,000 workers from the Defense Department next.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

There are three main characteristics of a dictatorship.
Dictators tend to resort to force or fraud to gain political power.
Dictators use intimidation, terror, and the suppression of fundamental civil liberties.
