  1. The Nazi is just violating the constitution and breaking everything beyond repair. Someone do something!

  2. Unelected! This is a coup unfolding in front of us. MAGA is cheering it on. Don’t ever let those fucking scumbags preach about the constitution or freedom ever again. Un-American traitors, all of them. 

  3. Does Trump have the authority to do this? Is the money not apportioned by Congress? If it is, why the hell are congressional dems not suing to stop it. Republicans would be.

  5. Musk’s actions blatantly violate the appointments clause of the constitution. Whether the executive even has this much power on its own is dubious at best, but for it to be wielded by Musk makes it pretty open and shut that this is unconstitutional.

  6. The longer this goes on, the more the scandal becomes the failure of anyone to stop it as much as it is what he is doing.

  8. >The tech giant invited the MAGA senator from Iowa, Joni Ernst, into the chat

    For anyone somehow still wondering, congressional Republicans are all-in and won’t be turning on this admin no matter what they do.

  9. I hope everyone who voted for this is getting what they wanted……

  10. January 6 was just a coup *attempt*.

    This right here is a successful coup. A coup by the oligarchs.

  11. Who the fuck is this guy? Jesus, he should have been in the Tesla that went to Mars!

  12. It’s bizarre to watch America fall from the outside, can only imagine how it is as a citizen.

  13. You know, there was a very handsome Italian-American from Maryland who had some very novel ideas on how to deal with CEOs causing mass social harm.

  15. Do you think Musk just woke up one morning and decided, “I think I’ll become one of the most hated human beings in history,” or was he a gigantic piece of shit since birth?

  16. Can you imagine the bitchfit conservatives would have thrown if Democrats gave free reign of our government to George Soros? If it weren’t so depressing watching the country be dismantled by fascist oligarchs doing everything to destroy their own government, the hypocrisy might be funny.

  18. Where the fuck is congress in all this? This is so fucking illegal. Why am I and everyone else having to pay taxes to a government that’s so fucking spineless that it’s letting this dude take it over?

  19. Literally the only people that could do anything about this right now are Republicans in Congress.

    People in this thread: Democrats aren’t doing anything!

  20. I love how everyone is still arguing whether or not this is constitutional.  

    It’s a coup. It doesn’t matter. Law doesn’t matter. Elections don’t matter. 

  22. It turns out the 2a crowd are a bunch of pussies after all.

  24. This is by far the worst Congress in the history of our country. I also fear it will be the last Congress in the history of our country

  25. Remember when George Soros was the puppet master buying all the government? This guy’s 10x worse

  26. How does an unelected civilian contractor walk into a Federal Government office, take over, lock hired Federal Workers out of their SECURE government computers, plug in his own hard drives and say he’s closing down an entire department – and nobody says/does a f’n thing? I think he even indicated he was working over the weekend…doing what? Under the supervision of who?, For what purpose? Did he just walk out the door with hard drives full of contractor’s data? No investigation? No emergency Cease and Desist?

    WTF. Somebody please explain…. in what country do we live? This is plain ludicrous!

  27. He’s mad at USAID for helping victims of his precious apartheid South Africa.

  28. Where is Congress?

    Where are the lawsuits??

    WHERE IS THE RESISTANCE???????

  29. Musk is the virus. Trump unleashed him on the government. Now he can shut anything down. He is ransomware.

  31. The scary thing is that MAGA will agree with this solely because Musk posted “They are criminals” in a ketamine fuelled rant on Twitter.. oh and BTW he has offered no evidence of USAID criminality…

  32. Disclaimer: I am not a US citizen, german actually.

    You guys missed the time for peaceful protest. You won’t change this from the comfort of your couch or by being angry on social media. You need to go on the streets, all of you. You need to unite as a country and put a stop to the villains who are trying to undermine EVERYTHING good you had going for you – which I don’t say lightly as someone with very critical opinions of the US.

    But if you don’t fight this, they will win. Because no matter how dumb all of this shit is, they are really good at being loud and obnoxious.

    Smart people usually tend to go for the peaceful route, but that time is, like I said, over.

    Someone need to put this pile of shit ablaze.

  33. Hey Republicans, is this what you signed up for?

    If you or a loved one is a federal employee, Trump and Musk have convinced your fellow Americans that YOU are the enemy.

    Thirty percent of you are veterans—people who were willing to risk everything for this country. Now, you’re being painted as lazy, worthless, and deserving of ridicule and job loss. Is this really the America you fought for?

    Is THIS what you voted for?

  34. The fact that Congress is not immediately moving to impeach Trump has made me lose all hope in the government to ever function correctly.

  35. Remember when republicans were upset at all the unelected deep state bureaucrats with too much power and no oversight that were swamping up the government?
