The more Musk destroys our country the more his status diminishes in history to that of a real villain. Musk will be in the pantheon of the great evils: Genghis Kahn, Vlad the Impaler, Nero, Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler, Musk. Where are Musk's bloody deaths? Ask the 200,000+ people who have lost their jobs how they feel. Ask the elderly who are living their golden years now in high anxiety. Ask the children with measles, and their parents. And this sh*t ain't over yet.

Since when was he an "employee"? Let's see the HR Onboarding packet where he was processed and vetted. I can't wait to see his W2 from the US Government for 2025!

They may shuffle the deck chairs but the trump-musk regime remains just that. elon will never give up his proximity to power and the perks that come with it e.g., tesla somehow managed to avoid the worst of the tariffs. And trump will never do anything to jeopardize his free flowing account with the bank of maga. Thanks Musk Watch for the font of need to know information on this one man threat to democracy.

The access at SEC is not really about austerity, but getting data about ongoing investigations of both Musk's companies and his competitors in the many industries he is competing in.

"It’s unclear what DOGE intends to cut. The SEC is entirely funded by transaction fees, not U.S. taxpayers."

They probably didn't know that.

"On Wednesday, following the publication of Politico’s report, Tesla’s share price received an immediate boost. Many of the company’s investors have spent weeks complaining that Musk is too distracted in Washington to manage Tesla."

So getting Ketamine-Addled Chainsaw Boy back to running Tesla is good news for the markets? Good luck with that...

(Note: Tesla is down nearly 10% this morning)

It would be helpful if each announcement of things DOGE has done would be accompanied by if and why that action is illegal--which laws did it break, to remind us that almost everything they do is lawless. Thanks!
