...Three horsemen of the MAGA-tech-bro apocalypse ...think their top floor apartment doesn't rest on all the floors underneath ... they're immune to the impact ...their power is not merely part of larger systems ... think they have defeated cause and effect. bit.ly/3XfLQOO
No One Knows How This Will End (But I Do Not Think It Will End Well for Them)
I can sum up the Trump/Musk/Vance theory of power in five words: "We have power; you don't." Alternative version in six words: "we can do anything we want." They seem to believe that nothing is really...

I wish it was laughable.
We as a country will save nothing. Federal employee salaries make up just 4% of the budget—roughly $271 billion. So even if every federal worker were fired, that’s the maximum you’d save. Meanwhile, the U.S. House GOP has released a budget that raises the debt limit by $4 trillion.

that the majority of US voters

Trump has fallen below 50% of the popular vote.
With 152.7M votes counted so far, he leads Harris 49.99%-48.22%.
This was not a landslide or a blowout by any means.
159+M total ballots in 2020.

My plea to reporters is to not call it the Department of Government Efficiency. It is not a Department. It is almost certainly going to a Federal Advisory Committee, and it is very important that reporters accurately convey that Vivek and Elon are working on an advisory committee.

Admittedly I’m no expert in gender politics and I’m just a guy but I’m pretty sure that the election to the presidency of a man found by a federal jury to have forcibly penetrated a woman’s vagina with his hands in a department store dressing room isn’t a great thing for women.
