What a hypocrite. Even last night he was raising millions of $ at a $1.5 million per plate crypto event. ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿค‘

The stock market has now lost over $9 trillion in value since Trump took office this year.

$5 trillion of that loss has been in the past two days.

Trump & Musk are "running the government like a business" โ€“ like the worst business, the kind that abuses employees, lies to the public and produces an inferior product.

7/ We will be under an Oligarchic Authoritarian regime for 4 years unfortunately, but America eventually will recover from these dark days. But it will be a difficult war to retain our Republic. Resist & fight!

6/ This dude is an extremely destructive force to democratic governance. He is unelected and unvetted by Congress. He is wielding more power than DJT because he is doing the dirty work DJT is too lazy to do himself. We must take our government back from this illegitimate takeover of Musk.

5/He didnโ€™t actually start Tesla, he came in as an early investor & took over. He fired over 80% of the twitter staff. What is his fascination with the letter X? He renamed twitter and 1 of his sons X. Is it related to its similarity to the Nazi swastika? He espouses far right views & Nazi salutes.

4/ So he is now on some sort of anti-woke jihad. He apparently is incapable of empathy.
Granted he has done some great things with his businesses but he controls his businesses like a tyrant and has numerous lawsuits against him for his business practices.

4/ He has stated one of his 13 children is โ€œdead to him-that his son died due to the woke mind virus;โ€ because he/she is transgender. She is very much alive. That is how he treats his own family.

3/ He is supporting far right parties all over the world. He tweeted last year that โ€œcivil war is inevitable in the UKโ€ due to all the immigration they have allowed. Like DJT, he is a draft dodger: he left South Africa at 17 years old to avoid mandatory service.

2/ DJT and Musk do not care about the Constitution, Congress or laws. Musk wants no regulation, oversight or taxation. He receives millions of dollars in federal government contracts; which of course he will not cut. He has called himself โ€œdark MAGA,โ€ whatever the hell that is.

This oligarch is taking a chainsaw to our government. Article 2 Section 2 of our Constitution requires all officers of the United States shall be subject to advice and consent of the Congress. It also states only Congress can create departments. DOGE itself is unconstitutional.

Why does DJT never criticize Putin, actually praises him, while calling Zelenskyy a dictator and claiming Ukraine started the war or should have been able to make a โ€œdealโ€ with Putin to avoid war. Putin is a war criminal, who canโ€™t be trusted, and has invaded Ukraine twice.

WTF. Putin is really benefiting from his US election meddling. He has turned DJT into a Russian tool! #Useful Idiot

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion

Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion

Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

Elon Musk Reportedly Has a Huge Conflict of Interest Motivating Him to Gut USAID

Musk has a self serving reason to dismantle USAID; and it is not financial accountability. Muskrats are an invasive species!

This is the real fraud and abuse that is allowed by our government because our tax code being rigged so corporations and the wealthy do not pay their fair share. Not even close.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Teslaโ€™s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

So DJT and the Muskrat say USAID is run by โ€œradical lunatics.โ€ There he goes projecting again. We know who the real radical lunatics are. They are the radical criminal regime taking a sledgehammer to our government.

I think we are all searching in vain for evidence that Donald Trump or Elon Musk are serving America rather than other interests.

Their anger at USAID sounds like ventriloquism from Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. It makes no sense whatsoever to anyone who actually loves this country and its values.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Also the Trump destruction & retribution team is demanding a list of all FBI agents who investigated any January 6 case. They potentially could fire a majority of FBI agents for doing their jobs in the largest investigation ever of criminal activity. Insanity!

BREAKING NEWS:

It is much worse than previously reported:

Not only were at least 30 federal attorneys who worked on January 6 cases fired, but all six of the FBI's most senior executives and multiple heads of field offices have been escorted out.

This is terrifying.

2/. It is also laughable that he said we need the very best geniuses to be air traffic controllers. Does that describe his nominees for cabinet level positions? No way. He is a joke! But not funny, really disturbing.
