Nobody elected Elon Musk to the presidency. He has no power except that which he's taken by exploiting Donald Trump's decrepitude and laziness. Once Trump figures it out, he's going to eject Musk from his orbit. There's only room in the Oval for one president, and it's not Elon.
Breaking news: Republicans rejected House Speaker Johnson’s bipartisan plan to avert a government shutdown, as Donald Trump and Elon Musk joined a broad swath of the House GOP on Wednesday to condemn a compromise bill full of Democratic policy priorities.

Think about the things in your community that will probably be cut or eliminated during a second Trump term(Planned Parenthood, family services, food programs, community development, etc etc.).

Ultimately, the echo chamber commentary is meant to inoculate the population with increasingly far right and openly fascist rhetoric while also pushing that any other speech is not as important and is based on not understanding the fascists argument. It’s an astroturf. We don’t accept fascism.
