Two questions come to mind. 1) Who is paying the salaries of the people Musk hires for DOGE? I don't recall any appropriation bill passing to fund this nonsense. 2) How long until both Musk and X are banned in Germany? I can't imagine the Germans are going to put up with his bullshit for that much longer.

Where is he getting money for these salaries—originally I thought his group of jobs were to be volunteer positions.

The world is turning on musk and tesla. His money can't insulate him from the loathing and contempt he engenders. Like trump, he gets more vile and unhinged by the day.

He’s a manic drug addled sociopath.

Let's not forget how berserk it is driving elon to see his Teslas spray painted with swastikas not only in the US but all over the world, & this after retaliating against employees in his Fremont factory who complained about the prominent displays of Nazi regalia at the factory. Tsk tsk poor elon. Can't take it.

If course he wants to sue Tim Walz. He’s still stinging from the “jumping around like a dipshit” comment.

Excellent recap. The man is not only a danger to the US, but to the world.

I have already sent feedback through my Chase accounts that I will transfer all balances and close any accounts with a VISA logo. There are enough other options I dont need VISA if they choose to partner with X.

Worldwide boycott of Tesla now!

Boycott: Amazon, Apple, Google too.

FYI: the first two weeks boycotting the above take time and are not convenient, but then the new normal is lovely: I even like Bing better than Google.

But, don't forget how Bill Gates started his site. He's cut from the same cloak...

Someone should spike his supply of ketamine with something.

The Elno skuM - FAA business is reminiscent of the Bannon inspired elimination of the NSC Directory for Global Health Security and Biodefense in 2017.

Also I have to wonder who Tesla is going to sell cars to, in North America and the EU, at least: MAGA types are into climate change denial so are unlikely to get rid of their gas guzzlers,, while us EV drivers tend to dislike Nazis. (BTW I don't own a Tesla.)

Amazon increasing its advertising on Twitter isn't surprising at this point to me but it does make me wish there was also a Bezos Watch. I know the megalomania isn't new but the complete lack of concern for any propriety is disturbing.

This is excellent. He reminds me of Loki in the first movie

Looking forward to the Hulk grabbing him by the leg and slamming him repeatedly on the floor in that case

this Musk coup is crazy! we have all these rules about clearance and elaborate confirmation processes, and suddenly it doesn't matter? Musk and goons can access whatever Treasury information they want now?

Where are the Democrats, where is the mainstream media?

Thank you for this information, Judd. Wondering if you can put out some additional information on the one day EO that gave that piece of crap access to EVERYTHING Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, federal employee salaries, etc. I don’t think I can trust what’s been reported. Thank you.

People I speak to now refer to Teslas as swasticars. Musk performed two Nazi salutes and blamed it on autism (a copout) instead of admitting that he courts fascists and supports their policies.

Hi guys! For all of you Johnny-come-latelys into the sphere of loathing for Leon Musk, I wanna tell you about creep radar that most woman have and some women use. When Leon Musk appeared on the scene 15 years ago and people began to slather him with praise for what? Being the green car maker? My creep radar was buzzing and as I looked at all of his adoring fans I realized, Musk is man's man. Men like him for a long list of reasons (not you, dear reader, but other men).

As we grew to know more about him, no radar was needed, he was right in front of us: a creep. And now he has consumed so much power and money, it is hard to turn away.

Musk is a Nazi pig. In the memory of those who died fighting Nazis for our freedoms: Musk is a Nazi pig and his day of reckoning (purely secular) will come.
