Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

If you think Musk wants all this data in order to root out fraud and marginally improve government efficiency, I have several bridges to sell you.

Why would a little boy say, “Shut the fuck up” if he wanted someone to be quiet? Was there someone in his life who maybe repeatedly said that to him? Also, where would he get the idea that Trump *isn’t* the President? Did someone also say that repeatedly to him?
