Tesla stock is in a nosedive

SpaceX keeps blowing up rockets

And now, as Europe considers alternatives to Starlink, Elon Musk insults the Polish Foreign Minister

It'll be interesting to see if the Tesla or SpaceX Boards of Directors take any action before Musk totally destroys these companies

BREAKING: French satellite company Eutelsat is replacing Starlink and plans to send approximately 40,000 communication terminals to Ukraine. Their stock has rocketed 390% in the last 3 days as Tesla Starlink SpaceX and X continue their freefall.

โ€œTheyโ€™re Scared Shitlessโ€: The Threat of Political Violence Informing Trumpโ€™s Grip on Congress With the president smashing norm after norm, even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making.

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegsethโ€™s nomination for defense secretary...

"Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm."

Halting spending approved by Congress.

Firing independent inspectors general from federal agencies.

Replacing civil servants with loyalists.

All plans pulled from Project 2025.

Remember when Trump denied knowing about the playbook and the media gave him a pass?

No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. Theyโ€™re only back up because of the outcry. Iโ€™d tell you to stop lying but we know thatโ€™s a feature of this administration.

Don't forget that just hours before he took office, Trump became a crypto billionaire by shilling a worthless meme coin.

And of course he didn't divest from any of his other businesses.

Is it any wonder that ethics are out the window in the second Trump administration?

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

4) Repeat.

Don't let them get away with it.
