Oh, a lifetime grifter gets his hands on a chunk of US Money for a "sovereign wealth fund" for investing.

It is easy to despair. Until we see the Musk-Trump administration openly defy court orders, it is worth noting that they have obeyed them so far.
Not doing so would enter us into a constitutional crisis.

The CFPB is the financial watchdog for the American people.
The agency has returned $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.
Trump fired its director and put his treasury secretary, a Wall Street hedge fund manager, in charge.

Expect a flurry of lawsuits to stop Musk’s illegal takeover of the treasury payment system and the takeover of data and systems at the OPM. Refer Doge as a rogue enterprise and NOT a department, and call the senators listed in the article to stop this madness.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Listening to Musk talk about federal debt on an X space and how it's a major problem that the US spends so much paying off the interest on that debt. It's something he is an expert in. He borrowed $13 billion to buy Twitter and was paying $1 billion a year in interest on that debt every year.
