Elon Musk is a corporate raider with an established history of buying up businesses, pushing out the founders, taking credit for their inventions and reshaping those businesses in his own image.
His latest raid?
The United States of America.

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.

At parent conferences, I told a parent that her son has seemed extra tired in class lately.
She told me he’s been having trouble sleeping because he’s worried about his grandparents being deported.
This is where we are now.

What do many of Trump's cabinet and admin picks have in common? Let me connect some dots.
Trump’s testosterone-poisoned picks
Toxic masculinity is all about male dominance and female subservience. It is closely allied to fascism.

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries.
Why am I telling you this?
In case you're ever asked "what were the key contributors to the Great Depression?"

Crockett: So, as many times as you all yelled, I yelled that project 2025 is his only plan, because he said no, I know nothing about it, not my plan. People just believed him. We see how that is playing out.

Trump did not win a majority vote or mandate. I always said he was running to secure 100% of the MAGA vote, which he did. If they voted, he only needed a bit more. While there are more never Trumpers in America, we lost because to many of us chose not to vote.

Trump Won Less Than 50 Percent. Why Is Everyone Calling It a Landslide?
Right and left have bought the narrative of a crushing triumph. They’re wrong.

Jeffries: This is the lesson you've drawn? From the election in November? This is your priority? That you want to bully a member of congress? As opposed to welcoming her to join this body?

Wouldn't it be swell if Nancy Mace defended women from rapists and sex traffickers in her own party as fiercely as she is defending the Capitol bathroom?
