Elon Musk Has Created an Uber-Government Body With Unlimited Power
Where the hell is the Democratic opposition to slow down this chaos?!
He was not elected. He was chosen because he is the wealthiest person on this planet. He uses his financial power to lie unchecked about the failings of democracy and the benefits of fascism. When something or someone calls out his perfidy, he rages, pulls out his wallet, and turns that former opposition tool into one that furthers his interests. He was born in a country that, just 30 years was ruled by apartheid — hating others because they are different is in his blood.
Most abhorrently and dangerously, Elon Musk uses his power and influence to support the rising wave of fascist movements in liberal democracies. Musk has taken up where Vladimir Putin left off: He has created a team of tech bros who sit around for hours downing Red Bull and virtually assaulting anyone or thing that stands in their way of spreading right-wing lies and propaganda. Musk has been given the keys to the U.S. government and wields more power than anyone except Trump. Musk is aligning the United States with fascist parties all over Europe, and the Republican-controlled Congress acts like his behavior is normal.
A coup is underway in our nation, and Republicans are permitting it to happen.
