Before we start another week of Musk and Trumps constant madness, Im happy to be able to share more good news today. I hope it gives you at least a bit of relief in these trying times, and proves there are brave folks everywhere fighting alongside us against this tyranny.
Hundreds of peaceful Tesla Takedown protests took place worldwide yesterday. Dem Rep. Pramila Jayapal joined an event in Seattle, where she gave a fiery speech. Jayapal called Elon Musk an unelected billionaire who is destroying our country, and said, Musk and the Department Of Greed and Evilthats what DOGE is have got to go.
In Greenwich, CT, there was an incredibly touching moment at Dem Sen. Chris Murphys town hall. Seven-year-old Charlotte Paone bravely took the mic to advocate for free lunch for all in schools, saying: I don't want my friends to go hungry in school, or have to be embarrassed by telling their teacher or the lunch lady.
Murphy then invited Charlotte to the front, where he sat down to meet her at eye level. We exist in this world to help other people, Murphy told her. To help people who are less fortunate That's why all these people are here today, because they want to live in a world where we have a government that looks out for everybody.
Applauding Charlotte for speaking out, Murphy said: I bet you, because of your question everybody in this room is gonna work a little bit harder to make that kind of world.

What am I missing?

(7,653 posts)Besides, he's on record as having said that if Tesla goes down, he goes down. As in, bankrupt. It's enough of an irritant for him to go on camera and whine about it.
He contributed millions to trump's campaign, apparently to gain access to the power it took to eliminate his own company legal threats via DOGE. It is a simple scheme, when you look at the big picture. trump turned him loose on us, and he is destroying our social infrastructure. Why shouldn't he feel the anger of those that are being harmed by him?
The property destruction should stop, but the protests should go on. He brought it upon himself when he began putting thousands of people out of work. Chain saws and Nazi salutes didn't help him, either. The whiny little bitch should man up and realize that people will fight back. He effs with people's money, and they will eff with his. He's already been asked to step down from Tesla. How embarrassing for President Musk.
