When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Billionaires are a perversion. No one should have more than a billion in wealth. Whoever owns the most must have the greatest tax burden; Ownership is an obligation! But the rich get richer; THEY are parasites who feed themselves at the expense of others! #DontObeyInAdvance, #safedemocracy, #resist!

I think we’ve learned an important lesson today, which is: If you ever run a media company, do not ever create a situation where your poetry editor might have cause to write a resignation letter, because it will scorch you from the face of the earth.

Its only profit is the deadly profit of oil interests and weapon manufacturers. The world, the future, our hearts everything grows smaller and harder from from it. This is not only a war of missiles and land invasions.
