Hmm…Donny’s bought a Tesla Plaid today, presumably a Neurolink implant…tomorrow!
Hey remember when people said “we need a domestic terrorism statute” and people like me said “that would be super ripe for abuse for whatever lunatic is in power, would you want Trump to have that power” and you sneered at “slippery slope thinking”? Yeah, I remember, dipshit.
President Trump says that he is going to label incidents of violence/vandalism at Tesla dealerships as “domestic terrorism.”

LOTFL! Elon Musk feels entitled to eradicate Americans’ hard earned “entitlements” for his own aggregated benefit? #ElonIsSoEntitled
These numbers are complete lies but the underlying argument — that Democrats are paying illegal immigrants to come here and become voters — is 100% Great Replacement Theory.
He’s spouting the exact same racist conspiracy that inspired mass shootings in Pittsburgh and Buffalo.

Musk: "The waste and fraud in entitlement spending -- that's the big one to eliminate. That's the half trillion, maybe 600 or 700 billion a year. That's also the mechanism by which Democrats attract & retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here & then turning them into voters."

And there it is. Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.”

“Most of the federal spending is entitlements. That’s the big one to ELIMINATE.”
- Elon Musk
He's gutting the Social Security agency. He's called Social Security a Ponzi Scheme.
He's showing and telling us what he wants to do.
Keep fighting back.

#elonlivesentitlements No more “entitled” man ever walked the Earth than Elon.
His personal “entitlement” trumps all others, which he aims to eliminate to boost his trillion dollar man aspirations?
Fact.

One neat thing about all this is Trump got really mad when people would accuse him during his first term of secretly trying to do a quid pro quo with Zelensky and now this term he’s just openly telling everyone who will listen: I’m doing a quid pro quo, I want my minerals
