Wrong. First of all, Musk purchased the election for $250 billion. Second, he shut down USAID, firing everyone who worked in this terrific agency that saves lives all over the world, which is not only a great thing for our wealthy country to do, but buys us goodwill around the world. The NIH saves lives, and improves medical science, but Musk is trying t do the same sort of shit with it.
Yes, I'll admit that Trump is now the president. (Sorry, I don't feel the least bit possessive of him.) But Musk wasn't elected to anything, and the so-called DOGE is not a real US agency, and his shutting down of agencies whose existence was voted on by Congress is unconstitutional. Musk cares not a wit about uncovering waste,fraud, and abuse. He cares about finding money that he can take from the US middle classes, and steer into the pockets of other extremely wealthy people who have absolutely no need for additional wealth, turning our country into an oligarchy.
I don't care if you like Teslas. What bothers me is your inability to distinguish evil. Musk is evil.
