Elon Musk’s Right-Wing D*** Riders Melt Down Over “Evil” Jokes About Tesla

Every accusation is a confession. Make no mistake, despite alligator tears of Musk, I *still argue that perhaps not literally planned (mygad I'm beginning to sound like the conspiracy theorists I rail against... except, yanno, all I hear is crickets from them when *actual conspiracies are taking place, these people would have called the Civil Rights movement a conspiracy) so while the specifics may be unplanned, make no mistake - this falls neatly in line with stoking hatred to enable a "it will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be" response. This is still mere *weeks*into this administration.

To bring it home to us in Canada, jfc the NDP gotta get their shit together, cuz the Libs are just gonna cement a disaster capitalism response and further capitalize on the moment to solidify nationalism which in turn furthers the by definition unsustainability of global capitalism.

Fascism is a feature, a symptom, not a side effect.

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt Elon Musk, the tech billionaire and unelected adviser to President Donald Trump, is asserting control over much of the federal bureaucracy and sensitive government computer systems despite lacking clear authority. The highest-ranking career official at the Treasury Department was pushed out after refusing to hand Musk's team the keys to the government's entire payment system and the $6 trillion in payments the system processes annually, including Social Security checks, tax refunds and Medicare benefits. Musk and his team have also seized control at the Office of Personnel Management and the General Services Administration, key institutions that function as the central nervous system of the U.S. government. "In any other situation, this would be called state capture, and people around the world would be condemning it," says Democratic strategist Waleed Shahid, who writes in a new blog post that "Elon Musk is staging a coup." We also speak with Lindsay Owens, executive director of the Groundwork Collaborative, who warns that Musk could be laying the groundwork for major tax cuts Republicans have promised that will disproportionately benefit corporations and wealthy people like him. "Elon Musk is going to pay for his tax cut with your Social Security," says Owens.
