Trump has completely given up his power and handed it over to Elon Musk.
I have encountered many billionaires in my career. You all have seen many of those encounters, in hearings, in other forms of questioning, etc.
I can tell you that this dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met, which you can probably glean from watching on TV.
The danger is not just in the lack of intelligence that Elon has — this guy is one of the most morally vacant, and least knowledgeable about these systems.
We already saw that last week when they were like, “Oh yeah we're gonna freeze everything! That sounds so cool, let's do that!” And then Medicaid portals across the United States got suspended.
So what they're trying to do, under the guise of “waste,” is gut some of the most essential federal programs that we've got.
What they are not going to include in their government waste assessments (take a big guess!) is defense spending. I sat on the Oversight Committee y'all. I have seen defense contractors price gouge and loot the public in such inordinate ways.
Elon Musk gets his money from defense. The Pentagon has yet to pass an audit, but they want you to think that it's the viejita who's getting her insulin paid for by Medicaid that is the “waste.”
This is why Elon punches down — because he can't punch across. He wants you to think that the lady selling churros on the corner is part of a mass conspiracy.
No, dude. It's the big corporations trying to distract you.
We do not have to comply with illegal activity — even if that illegal activity is coming from the President and his billionaire donors.
Help us continue the fight with a grassroots contribution today.
Stay focused. Take a breath. Understand that your everyday small actions matter.
Letting someone know that they're safe with you matters. Showing up matters.
More soon,
Alexandria
