I’m not in the US, but the news coming out almost daily since Trump took office has been pretty worrying to me. I encourage everyone to watch and spread this video: How Tech Billionaires Plan to Destroy America. I feel like a tinfoil hatter but, what’s laid out in the video is very convincing after just a couple weeks into Trump’s presidency.
Yeah, watching this unfold makes me wonder just how useless things like a constitution and laws and due process really are in every other country. Because apparently none of those things actually matter and some rich asshole that wasn’t elected can seize power tomorrow if they want. While no one does anything about it. Makes it all seem like a big joke.
He didn’t seize control. He was given it by the President. I figured the article would cover the nuance the headline missed, but it didn’t.
And then I see others here making the same point and getting downvoted.
The problem is Trump and the very best people he is once again bringing in.
He purchased it from the president.
Well, purchased it from the person he made president.
And letting a thin-skinned, Ketamine-fueled, video-game cheating, Nazi apologist billionaire take over the machinery of the United States is not something that anyone voted for.
mother jones throwin hands.
The best part is every one of those adjectives is also a hyperlink.
I assure you that some people did in fact vote for that.
absolutely. I know some of the more virulent ones. “rocket man good”

Wonder what they’ll think the minute they get ruined by something he does.
Nothing that shows any self-reflection
bingo.
It will be “I didn’t vote for THIS!?”
Then, if we even still have elections, they’ll vote for Republicans again.
Ketamine-fueled
That’s the important part. We have an adderall addict and a ketamine addict running our government.
Maybe we just need to convert the white house into a wellness farm so they can be reparented.
So, literally Hitler
Not enough IMO, he’s no apologist after that Nazi Salute he did
the line between nazi apologist and nazi is there isn’t one.
Deport Elon Musk
This isn’t an deportation level crime. This is “hang for treason” crime.
Elon Musk should be deported to ADX Florence or Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp
Deport Elon Musk back to hell
Nah. Seize his assets, but make him stay here. Make that Nazi bastard experience life the American Way™ - living paycheck to paycheck at a minimum wage job (cause the moment his net worth guess to zero, his political influence does as well - another trademarked advantage of American living).
Oh, I love that idea. Actually, first give him some time, where he gets to work for less than minimum wage at a totally shit job.
Then release him, with the criminal record. See how he does…
Heh. I see what you did there…
I was thinking of making bumper stickers for that. But someone already even has the domain for that…
Let him ‘occupy Mars.’
I’m 100% okay with using tax dollars to strap this fuckface to a rocket launching him at Mars
Debone Elon Musk
To Mars.
Elect a puppet, get a puppet. If anyone looked at Trump’s bankroll for the election and thought, “Wow, what a bunch of great people donating for a better tomorrow,” you are out of your fucking mind.
In this administration the Elongate will happen
But it can also be called as:
- Elon Files
- XGate
- X Files
- DOGEGate
- DOGE Files
- MagaGate
- MAGA Files
- TrumpGate
- Trump Files
I read that as more of a “stretched neck” vibe then a political scandal that ended with a conservative pardoning a president of all his crimes
Nobody voted for Fauci either. What’s your point?
Fauci isn’t a Nazi kleptocrat who is trying to dismantle the administrative state.
Reactionaries sure love to play dumb, huh?
Hey, what do we call Nazi apologists?
But he did have a lot power, and that was my point. I could probably name a bunch of other men, but he’s one of the most well known of Bidens admin.
What power did he really have?
You’re just repeating reactionary talking points, not really a surprise.
He was also one of the most well known of “Trump’s men.” Here’s a hint: each STATE decided whether they would shut things down or not.
Hey, what do we call Nazi apologists?
Hey, what do we call Nazi apologists?
You’re asking someone who manages to get downvoted on conservative communities to answer that. I’m not sure what answer you would get other than “the good guys.”
Oh, I appreciate the heads-up, but I’m well aquatinted with this particular reactionary.
I just think it’s important to point out that he’s a Nazi apologist; I don’t really expect a coherent answer.
What power would that be? Be specific
He had qualifications. What are fElon’s qualifications?
Mooooooo?
Alright Bessie, time for your milking.
Takes out the milk pump, made to perfectly fit your hucow udders
Please, continue
Undoes your cowprint bikini strap and removes it
Easy there girl, we’ll get you sorted out.
Gently bends you over the milking frame, and gently gives your butt a reassuring pat
What a fucking creep
Wtf did you expect when I started? And you even said to continue.
I expected you to embarrass yourself
LOL
Yet he’s there, and someone gave him that power, yet you’re mad at musk. So easily fooled. Focus on the reason he’s there, not what he dies
One can hope.
