    Musk plans to enshitify and degrade the entire US government the same way he enshitified Twitter.

    [Reuters also reported Friday that Musk aides have “locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees]

    You just know that Musk is going to keep a copy of that data forever, regardless of whether he is working for Traitorapist Trump or not.

    I’m terribly sorry U.S. this very much reads like a horror story, but it’s also depressingly utterly believable.

    All your government belongs to Musk now.

        I think FLOTUS gives him too much agency. Kimmel used to call pence the vice poodle, and that’s about right for the orange one as well. Just like a dog he obeys whatever commands get put into his head. Sometimes you have to give him an expensive treat first, but if you can get one of the stuffed suits on fox to say it you get it for free.

        Can’t believe they mistitled Emperor Musk that way. Don’t worry, they’ll be remanded to the Palace of Justice for processing very soon.
