Summary

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has boldly declared a war on the federal government, aggressively reshaping public discourse and challenging established authority.

Using a ‘special government employee’ role via an executive order, Musk established DOGE to cut $500 billion in annual spending, strictly bypassing oversight.

Musk targeted USAID, declaring it as criminal while proposing its shutdown, and appointed young, inexperienced aides and former Tesla staff to federal positions.

These maneuvers have sparked partisan debates, raised conflict-of-interest concerns, and underscored a dramatic shift in federal power dynamics in a nation-wide upheaval.

    you are richer than god. what do you do?

    pull a ‘chuck feeney’ and give it all away?

    take time off and enjoy what you’ve “worked so hard for”?

    no, the fucking asswipe is working harder than he ever has in his life to literally destroy the country that made him all that money.
