I am with...

 Is it President Musk, is it Co-President Musk, is it Vice President Musk, is it Fuhrer Musk…more and more I am not sure what title it is that Musk have given himself, or maybe it is  “IN MUSK WE TRUST!”

 

President-elect Donald Trump announced Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Republican primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will lead a new agency he's calling the "Department of Government Efficiency." (npr)

 

So it seems that Musk (The Poster Boy For bad Immigrants) is all about destroying the working class, the middle class, and those who don’t even register in his Billionaires world.  Cut jobs, cut benefits, all in the guise of something called the Department of Government Efficiency, its acronym is DOGE, but for me it sounds more like DOUCHE.  Musk, the wealthiest man in the world, a guy who legally does not pay any fair share in taxes, the guy who is able to own and operate politicians, the guy who wants to be King, pretends that by knocking out the lower class, he will make the government more efficient.

 

But then, Musk, have you paid any attention to this: Coal, oil, and natural gas received $5.9 trillion in subsidies in 2020 — or roughly $11 million every minute — according to a new analysis from the International Monetary Fund.

Explicit subsidies accounted for only 8 percent of the total. The remaining 92 percent were implicit subsidies, which took the form of tax breaks or, to a much larger degree, health and environmental damages that were not priced into the cost of fossil fuels, according to the analysis.(Yale E360)

 

The rich remain rich, the rich need the poor to remain poor…and sadly, a whole bunch of poor people still wear their Kick Me, I Am with Musk T-Shirt!
