Musk is who we deserve. The country that treats money as speech and corporations as people and bribery as political action has the worlds richest man controlling it. Finally, the world is making some fucking sense.
They want to turn the US into kleptocratic empire ruled by organised crime, like Russia or Angolan former dictator Jose dos Santos with his Russian family
Just business as usual :P
Although no one was prosecuted
Why the FUCK do we keep letting people get away with this shit??
I believe the theory is that Roosevelt sat down with the Business Plot crew in secret and gave them the option of a) they convince their business pals not to oppose the New Deal too much or b) they hang. Obviously they picked option a.
Staging? It already happened
they won the election. now they are dismantling the levers of government. the goal is to weaken all other national institutions until eventually they can just ignore Congress or Supreme Court
Exactly. He has every American’s personal details and total control of the nation’s finances. He really doesn’t need anything else.
Musk is saying that they aren’t going to pay US contractors for up to a month.
There is no question.
That… Includes actual mercenaries, no?
There will be exceptions. The exceptions will be anything Musk views as a threat to himself.
One is fascist narcissistic billionaire and other is criminal
This reboot of The Odd Couple is really weird.
Are there no drug tests for political advisors or something?
I’d have expected this for a position with much power - just like in the military.Or am I that far off here from reality?
Musk has no clearance, wasn’t voted in, is uncredentialed, and unqualified.
The fact that the government is just sitting back and allowing this is disgusting.
All of it to line their pockets with what will be akin to monopoly money once they destroy the country.

People that rich have reserves in other currencies and precious metals. They don’t really give a shit if the US dollar crashes.
They’re why they’re so gung ho about crypto. They want to make everyone’s money worthless while they hoard all the gold themselves.
That’s exactly what I don’t understand
There are safe guards for exactly that shit in law (at least I think/hope so), but seemingly no one has the guts to step upBut I have to admit, that I don’t know the American laws at all, and with that don’t know what their actual options are
The department of justice enforces the laws.
Trump is currently the head of the department of justice.
This is the problem
government is just sitting back
They fired a bunch of FBI and DoJ, so if they’re sitting back it’s because they’re unemployed.
Must be nice to have no idea what’s been going on.
Because I asked about a detail of how a foreign country runs their government?
Sadly I do get all the shit news. I mostly wonder how this is even possible to happen in a normal state with functioning jurisdictionSome Americans forget there are other countries. It’s unavoidable until education improves.
I was serious. I’d like to not know any of this insanity
Ah, gotcha.
Thought you’re accusing me of not knowing anything, because I asked a question.Get your sentiment though…
Musk doesn’t hold any official position.
So, how can he even do all that shit and the organisations don’t just tell him to go choke on a dick?
If they push back, that person gets fired and replaced by a toady who won’t.
Yeah, talk about a hard place and a rock…
Fucking sucks, that there is seemingly to leverage against those idiots
Well. None that are within the rules.
Mostly because it’s so brazen and fucking insane that people don’t even know what to do about it. If someone walked into your office building while waving a knife around and shouted, “get the fuck out or I’m gonna start stabbing people!” what do you think you’d do?
My guess is that everyone is going to run out because we’ve been engrained to recognize the mechanisms in place to prevent and protect from these types of things. Anyone thinking anything other than getting the fuck out would probably be thinking “it’s not worth it, let the police handle it.”
Let’s say you start shouting, “that’s illegal, go choke on a dick! C’mon y’all, there’s only one of him and many of us; we can’t wait for the police, ACAB!!!” I’d probably commend you when I read the article or your obituary, but everyone else in the office is going to be concerned with saving themselves and letting whatever contingencies kick in.
Everyone with the power to stop this is sitting on their hands while waiting for someone else to step up. And we, the people? We’ve been trampled and subjugated for so long that now that we’re being told to rise up, we don’t know how. “Rise up against the system you helped manufacture? How? Y’all arrest and kill us in droves just for threatening money, much less people in power.”
Although this article I read a few days ago focuses on protests, it somehow resembles this situation imho

If you always just duck down to survive, they’ll just feel confirmed and encouraged.
Every bit of resistance costs them time and money, and signals to the rest, that there is another way, than to just buckle downPeace through being a hard target. Make it too costly and risky for them to fuck with us in any way.
It’s pretty simple: shoot him in the face.
This 100%. Violence is the only language that gets through at this point.
Not an American, but my guess is that they would have to sue and then discover that the judges are all toeing the party line.
Yeah, the last years seemingly were a build up to let Trump live his dictator dream
The chancellor is taking power lol
Why are people surprised with President Musk presidenting with his advisor Donald?
President Musk and first lady Donny.
Is this how the Russians felt when Rasputin was to influencing the Tsar?
I think we should test if Musk is as durable as Rasputin.
Or as durable as the UHC CEO
The song about it won’t be as catchy though.
It’s time that people who believe in principles of democracy should come together and create their own counter project 2025 plan. A long term strategic document, with action plans to not only restore but strengthen democracy in US
It’s not a coup. It’s an election. This is the completely predictable and continuous result of a state founded by slavemasters and run by white supremacy.
More Cybertrucks sold than all other EV trucks combined. Not a Tesla fan. Also not a fan of FUD. https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/18/24247985/tesla-cybertruck-july-2024-sales-deliveries-match-all-ev-trucks
This would have made sense, I suppose, had you posted it on the article about cybertruck sales slowing, but it just seems nonsequitur here.
Who the fuck asked
There are not that many e-trucks… Only Americans buy these, and they proved that the majority is OK wit supporting Nazis…
Yeah, and taylor swift is one of the best selling artists of all time. Almost selling as much the beatles or queen.
What’s your point?
Thanks, I now believe what president musk and first lady trump are doing is right!
My apologies guys - not a bot, near as I know. And yes, I swear I clicked the “Cybertruck sales slump” Thread. My mistake. I will leave this here as a record of my shame.
I didn’t know bots could misclick.
I think your comment has appeared in the wrong the wrong musk thread. This one is about takeover of us treasury.
I think cyberducks is here: https://lemmy.world/post/25080532
Well that definitely proves that
PresidentMusk hasn’t taken over the U.S. government for his own whims.
Yes.
Hey, hey. Elon Musk purchased the US fair and square, we’ve known that for like 3 months now, no need to go acting all surprised!
The Incorporated States of America?
