Elon Musk’s Twitter feed is the farthest-right, most hateful and disinformation-forward social media feed I’ve seen of any person who doesn’t openly identify as a member of a hate group. It’s toxic at a level that in any other era would have led to *anyone* in business ceasing all dealings with him.

It's not that everyone "deserves" due process. It is that everyone in this country is GUARANTEED due process. It is not a matter of deserving it. It is a matter of law. I realize in some ways its a distinction without a difference, but I feel like we turn "deserve" into a measure not a fact.

With Social Security, don't get too caught up talking about the minutiae. THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY SOCIAL SECURITY. Lead with that every time, then talk about how: removing offices, ID verification, bogus fraud claims, layoffs, etc. Set the narrative now. It's not alarmist. It's happening.

Trump's only move. Blackmail. He's doing it to everyone: law firms, companies, colleges, states, Canada, NATO, Ukraine. He was impeached in the first term for it. It's the only "art of the deal" he's ever known: strongman mafioso extortion. He'll re-run the same play forever until America collapses.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

@mmasnick.bsky.social forgot to mention that IN ADDITION to running these companies and stealing Granny's Social Security check, Musk is also cheating at Diablo IV--but we know he outsources that. Still seems relevant tho. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/05/t...
Consider what we’re being asked to believe about Elon Musk. That he is simultaneously managing Tesla, a global automotive manufacturer facing fierce competition and complex production challenges. That he is overseeing SpaceX, a company conducting human spaceflight and handling critical national security contracts. That he is running X/Twitter through a tumultuous transformation affecting global discourse. That he is developing experimental brain implants at Neuralink under federal investigation. That he is competing in the most sophisticated artificial intelligence race in human history through xAI.

And now, through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), we’re asked to believe he is also reorganizing the entire federal government. His twenty-something operatives are gaining unprecedented access to Treasury payment systems. Career civil servants are being purged for following security protocols. Congressionally established agencies are being illegally shuttered.

This isn’t just implausible—it’s physically impossible. Each of these companies requires intensive, full-time executive attention. Tesla alone, with its global manufacturing operations and fierce competition in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle market, would fully occupy any normal CEO. SpaceX, dealing with literal rocket science and human lives, demands constant high-level oversight. Yet we’ve collectively suspended our disbelief, accepting an obvious fiction because we’ve been conditioned to believe in the mythology of the tech genius who transcends normal human limitations.
