Hasan Piker: “I cannot think of a bigger taker than Elon Musk. That’s what parasitic capital does. All they do is take, take, take. They take your productive output, they take your ingenuity and they slap their name on it. What did you make? You didn’t make anything! Someone else did! He is an unbelievable parasitic leech and also a racist of the highest order. It’s mind-boggling that more people don’t recognize it for what it is”
These guys flip out on a hair-trigger at the tamest possible public rhetoric when they've devoted their entire careers for the past decade to zealously supporting the public rhetorical style of President Donald J. Trump
Like when she endorsed Mamdani the day after the debate, AOC is strategically timing these endorsements to drive lower propensity turnout. The left has desperately needed a disciplined inside/outside strategy for decades — AOC is doing that now, it’s proving to be effective.
Did you know the department of energy deleted almost 6000 web pages on energy saving, all because they matched the advice Mamdani was giving in NYC?
It’s the world’s dumbest cult.
DOGE deletes itself on July 4th. It will be remembered as a hugely destructive failure.
Musk promised $2 trillion in savings.
What we got, by DOGE’s own unverified math, was $215 billion. Even that number was never proven.
The costs were atrocious. Nearly 140,000 federal workers pushed out. Veterans waiting longer for care. USAID dismantled while people died overseas as a direct result. 20-year-olds with Red Bulls and no college degrees rummaging through Americans’ most sensitive data.
Musk, the world’s richest man, a federal contractor with billions in government business, auditing the government that pays him, accountable to no voter anywhere.
Even Musk now says he wouldn’t do it again. The guy who ran it calls it a mistake.
Government reform was there for the taking. Both parties know federal technology is outdated. Both parties know waste exists. Fixing it required serious people working with career civil servants who know where the problems actually are. Instead we got a chainsaw, a photo op, and years of lost expertise we now have to rebuild.
Now Trump’s budget director says there will be no final accounting or receipts. They promised transparency and they’re closing up shop in the dark.
They’re counting on us all to forget.

@Acyn I still for the life of me can’t figure this out bc if save act passes, unmarried dems with passports will objectively be favored. I know it’s voter suppression, which is bad, but honestly I’m down to let them suppress their own votes and turn over the filibuster in the process
@Adrian_Odinson@CouceIgnacio@Acyn I didn’t say that he didn’t have state support - I said the support they get from the state is less than what they pay the state in taxes. Nice try at a gotcha but unfortunately I can read.
@Adrian_Odinson@CouceIgnacio@Acyn You having 2 friends does not make a political fact based narrative lol. I moved from GA to WA and have friends that have moved from TX to NYC and from NC to CA so there we go, your anecdotes have been canceled out. Back it up with actual facts or pack it up
@walters_matthew@Acyn Lmfaoooo you know nothing about me. I can do all those things and more - I’m from Texas and could run you over 4 different ways. Dumb ass 😂
@walters_matthew@Acyn I’m by no means a supporter of Russia but the USSR definitely beat the Germans! Regardless if you think you have a chance against the capital and population of blue cities you’re in for a rude awakening lol (71% of of US GDP came from counties Joe Biden won).
@HelluvaChemE@Conrguy@Kate89241562819@Acyn Bc we’re living under the 21st century track record of financial ruin bc of a health bill. No one serious is saying collectivize everything, we just are supporting healthcare and a better social safety net to support our neighbors.
@Adrian_Odinson@CouceIgnacio@Acyn You’re just making vague references to people moving and I’m directly citing the facts on what people pay in taxes vs what they receive in state / federal funding. I’m not saying they aren’t leaving for other reasons but again, make an argument or stop speaking on this point lol
@HelluvaChemE@Kate89241562819@Acyn Begging you to recognize we’re currently in that exact situation, delivered to us by hyper capitalism. We can continue to raise living standards for all by making sure everyone has access to healthcare instead of hiding behind the boogeyman of “socialism”
@CouceIgnacio@Adrian_Odinson@Acyn@NYCMayor@ZohranKMamdani Sorry to burst your bubble buddy but he got support across all income levels including the 1% and 95% of the 1% voted for a dem that by default supports progressive income taxes and expanded social programs
