The new Musky-Trumpery administration is using the administrative equivalent of blitzkrieg tactics. They're moving so fast that the system can't react to everything at once, making it look like there's no opposition.

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.
