If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

In 1987, Trump was having financial difficulties (he lost $1 Billion dollars from 1978-1990) - so he turned to Russia. The KGB literally paid for his trip to Russia, and he was recruited by the KGB. #Krasnov

If Bernie’s Social Security bill was enacted in 2021, Musk would have paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would’ve been solvent for 75 years, benefits would’ve increased by $2,400 & 93% of Americans would have paid Zero more in taxes. The only one “entitled” is Musk.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration.

This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved federal funding due to the Trump admin's illegal impoundment.

I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

Instead of illegally trying to shut down huge pieces of our government that serve working people, Elon Musk could cut $2 trillion of actual waste by targeting handouts to the rich and powerful.

Here’s how: (🧵)

[Chicano Marine 🇲🇽🇺🇸💙 @elchicanomarine]

Turns out
“no tax on tip”
“No tax on overtime”
“No tax on Social Security”
Was all BULL SHIT.

Not only are REPUBLICANS NOT CUTTING TAXES, if you make less than $400,000 a year YOUR TAXES ARE GOING UP.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: All seven of Elon Musk’s companies — X, xAI, Neuralink, Starlink, the Boring Company, Tesla and SpaceX —have netted a combined $20 billion in US government contracts and subsidies, according to the Financial Times.

Does MAGA care to comment?

BREAKING: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has fired at least 20 employees who were involved in reviewing Elon Musk's brain implant company, Neuralink, per CNBC.

This action was part of a broader reduction in federal workers known as the 'DOGE firings'.

So when does the Golden Age of America start because right now I'm just seeing a lot of good people losing their jobs and a lot of planes crashing

[Lindsay Owens @owenslindsay1]

This is an excellent summary of Musk’s takeover of the Treasury from @NYMag’s @chasdanner, with quotes from WSJ, NYT, WaPo, and my op-ed from @MSNBC yesterday.

But this quote from @smotus is right on the money. This isn’t efficiency. It’s a coup.

Dear Mexico, Canada, Panama, and Europe:

100 percent tariffs on Tesla.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Cost of extending the Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion

Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion

Remember this as we hear about "wasteful government spending."

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Fun Fact: A 2% tax on the top 5 wealthiest billionaires would generate more revenue than the entire yearly budget of USAID.

I think I found the efficiencies DOGE was looking for.
