How do you know if they are Dems or not? , could be some very pissed off Republicans that voted for Orange face, nobody voted for Elon as he should not be there!

We didn't vote for Hegseth or Noem or Vought or Bondi either.

The MAGA administration is filled with people in positions they are not educated enough for.

DOGE is an entirely different subject. DOGE itself has not been approved by Congress or the Senate. Can a president just create an entity with the power of elected officials?

Anybody have the answer to that one? And please explain your view. If it's fact, plz state that as well.

No, but at least they went through the process of becoming Cabinet members, disgusting as it was. muskrat has NO official standing in our government. NONE!

When you Voted for Trump, you voted for all of those people. THIS is what you voted for and was warned would happen if you voted for him.

It's not likely that anyone following this substack voted for him. But then, it's my opinion that not many people did vote for him, and he only won because Elon rigged the swing states.

Yep, I think it is long past time that the Electoral College be abolished. Why should some votes count more than others based solely on where they were cast?

Please amend to say "when MAGAts voted for trump". This statement is not true for half the people who voted.

Drives me nuts when some write blanket statements. Yes, we're all Americans but not all Americans are the same if not for any other reason than the southwest is burning and the northeast is frigid. Not all Dems have the same view as not all Republicans. (We reserve that type of description for MAGA.)

Both parties can be centralized or partial to extremes.

I prefer the knowledge that any extreme is not healthy for any party, never mind in life itself.

I think he thought he could do as he pleased and being the snowflakes they acused us of being we would just lay down and say nothing. As far as I'm concerned it could be Trumps felons doing a lot of the damage like they did during past protests.

Genius , no way! He only loves himself. He’s been more destructive to our country and doing it right in front of us. We are empathetic and caring people but do you really think we’re going to let muskrat dismantle our government? Our lives, our country? Who voted for that rat? NO ONE

Yes that has been evident since the design of the Cyber truck.

Yah, it's the GQP who have the cash to buy Teslas. Maybe they are upset that they were ripped off by muskrat and his inferior vehicles.

UPDATE: And now the moronic Republican Congress people are showing off their Teslas in support of muskrat. Disgusting!

I wonder what the view of auto mechanics is on Tesla?

Expand full comment
4dEdited

Let's consult CoPilot and find out, shall we?

Copilot

Auto mechanics have mixed opinions about Teslas. Here are some common perspectives:

Advanced Technology: Many mechanics appreciate Tesla's cutting-edge technology, including its electric powertrain and autonomous driving features1. These innovations are seen as a significant leap forward in automotive engineering.

Repair Challenges: Some mechanics find Teslas challenging to repair due to their unique design and proprietary software2. Independent mechanics, however, are increasingly gaining access to the necessary tools and training to service Teslas effectively2.

Cost of Repairs: Teslas can be expensive to repair, especially if parts need to be sourced directly from Tesla3. Independent shops often offer more affordable options without compromising on quality2.

Customer Service: There are mixed reviews about Tesla's customer service, with some owners reporting issues with communication and service quality1.

Overall, while Teslas are admired for their innovation, they also present unique challenges in terms of maintenance and repair. Have you had any experiences with Tesla vehicles?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course, there is the issue of almost every Cybertruck being recalled due to the use of incorrect glue.

https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-cybertrucks-made-with-the-wrong-glue-hit-with-yet-another-sticky-recall/

Do people really want a vehicle that is glued together?

I saw a short, this guy bought a Tesla for $149,000. In one year it depreciated $100,000.

A BMW, same scenario bought at $149,000 in one year was still $149,000.

Can't say I expected different results.

The fact that 2 of the incidents involved assault rifles, ie...the gun of choice for the GOP, is strong evidence. Plus the fact that the incidents like Las Vegas one Was committed by a Trump fan. If it walks like a kluxer...

Expand full comment

EVERY mass shooting has been committed by a RW extremist. The 3 "attempts" on dt were RW Extremists, The Capitol was attacked by RW extemists. The fires/gunfire/broken windows/etc during the BLM protests were by White Nationalist groups trying to discredit the peaceful BLM protesters (see the FBI report on this). Also, most of the violence with the BLM protesters was initiated by THE POLICE.....they even attacked the "white grannies" who tried to protect the Black protesters. It is all on video!!

Expand full comment

All on video for now. It's only a matter of time before Trump and MAGA rewrite that shit.

People need to make their own copies of the reports already completed. Just like J6, MAGA will attempt to rewrite that day after their so-called investigation. I bet they won't let 2 Dems on that committee like the Dems had Liz and Adam.

When the investigations turned out that it’s MAGA people that are being hurt and are retaliating how is Fox Elon and Donald going to process that?

The vandalism’s to Teslas and two government centers have been typically supporters of MAGA and Donald Trump. I expect should we ever get the results of the investigation that we will find that they are MAGA violent acts against Elon.

Elon Musk being named head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) isn’t just absurd—it’s a slap in the face. The Doge was literally the ruler of Venice for a thousand years, a figurehead serving the oligarchs while the people got scraps. Musk, a billionaire who constantly downplays government regulation, is now in charge of “efficiency”? It’s a joke at our expense, and he knows it.

Now, as protests ramp up against Tesla, liberal activist groups are being blamed for everything from demonstrations to vandalism. But let’s be real—people aren’t just mad about Musk running his businesses into the ground. They’re furious because he’s helping dismantle essential programs like Medicaid and Medicare while pretending to be some misunderstood, peaceful genius. The hostility isn’t coming from nowhere. It’s a direct response to policies that will leave people sick, suffering, and dead.

How is this not systemic cruelty? How is gutting life-saving programs not mass genocide by neglect? And how does anyone take Musk seriously when he’s out here turning a medieval oligarch’s title into a meme while real people’s lives are on the line?

That tasty morsel I wasn't aware of!!! Continuing to spit in the face of the American people! Musk was also an illegal immigrant too before he bought his citizenship. So why isn't ICE shipping his ass to El Salvador!! I can't wait for these judges to get pissed enough to start sending people to jail for contempt. Maybe he can't jail the felon...yet but he sure as hell can start arresting everyone else in Trump's orbit, Musk included! Go judges, be the grown ups in the room! We're all counting on you!

Expand full comment

Oh and I believe the felon is the only one they won't jail while in office but members of Congress, Department heads, cabinet members, lawyers etc and yes, even the richest man on earth. I want on that jury! Judges start locking everyone up maybe might put a fear into them. Start charging in state courts though so he can't use the auto pen to sign the pardons. And on a sidenote, even though I know we have already plenty to complain about. I think rules should bebe put on those pardon too. I'm all for being compassionate, but anybody that was convicted of a Violent crime that has not served at least 75-80% of their sentence Unless they have been exonerated in a court of law with evidence!

I wish everyone would call it like it is: DOGE is not a department, because only Congress can make those. It is supposedly an advisory position, so he won't have to do reports or be transparent, but that hasn't worked. But he's got employees, with salaries (paid by whom?), and now entering agencies with the help of marshals with guns. It's a coup, plain as day. Don't use their terms for it, since it normalizes it. Every little thing about it is illegal.

DOGE—acronym—is literally a joke. Doge the noun isn't.

Indeed. Both Muskrat and Donolf Trumpler should be tried as war criminals, basically. Trump qualified as such even before, in his last term, for constantly making moves to ensure the mass suffering and death of us, what he looks at as lowly peons. They're both dime-store-dictator scum (worst scum the world has seen in generations) and they need to be stripped of power and removed from any Govt dealings. I would gladly accept another Republican even, in his place (provided he's not another trumpian bootlicker). Anyone (not attatched to his slimy coattails) would be an improvement ....

INDEED, COHEN WHERE YOU SAY THE FOLLOWING...But let’s take Musk’s comment at face value: “I thought the left was supposed to be the party of empathy and caring.” I tend to think the left is in fact the party of empathy and caring. Which raises the question: why doesn’t the party of empathy and caring like Musk? Perhaps because his first act as shadow president was to block a spending bill in December, and the bill that replaced it (and ultimately passed) no longer included funding for childhood cancer research. Musk did deign to allow that bill to pass. It’s that his next act was to dismantle USAID, which for only half of one percent of the budget, delivers food and clean water to the impoverished and offers HIV prevention services in high risk areas. It’s because his next act was to gut the CFPB, which exists solely to help Americans recover money from predatory financial institutions that have defrauded them. It’s because his administration is demanding $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid and $230 billion in cuts to Food Stamps. It’s because veterans are getting fired by the thousands. It’s because education funding is being cut, healthcare is being cut, climate initiatives are being cut. And all the while, Musk himself somehow manages to derive more and more benefits— whether it’s in the form of taxpayer funded Tesla commercials on the White House lawn or previously-awarded Verizon contracts that are suddenly getting redirected to SpaceX. So when Musk wonders why the party of empathy and caring doesn’t like him, it’s precisely because they are the party of empathy and caring.

🤔Musk among other things, is a firm👉 believer in eugenics, so does that not dovetail with all what he and Trump is doing, for after all, Musk is Trumps heatshield for what he too is obviously all for, which is gut everything in site

That he was lying was evident his first term. His incompetence killed people, especially during COVID.

And this time around, his incompetence paired with his petty vindictiveness will ultimately kill more, and they'll be the most vulnerable. Kids with cancer, elderly booted off supplemental support like meals on wheels and thrown out of nursing homes, kids will go hungry at school AND at home with SNAP benefits vaporized and we'll all be bleeding money unnecessarily. And for what, exactly?

Look I’m sorry but live with a malignant sociopath for 24 years and you will understand . Both Elon and Trump have those defected personalities . Good attention or bad it doesn’t matter it’s attention. Greed and control is paramount to them winning. After 21 year of freedom from that type of person the one I lived with is still the same and still also like Trump playing the blame game from more than 20+ years ago . Nothing surprises me with their sick minds

To assign blame to Democratic supporters is typical 1984 crap.

I am in no doubt that those on the right who stormed the Capitol on Jan 6 are far more likely to commit vandalism like this. So wake us trumpets and see the writing on the wall.

Once again BTC is on point with laser precision. HOWEVER, I posit the following: We cannot be surprised if we expect liars and thieves to acknowledge truth, honesty and justice. A wise person once said to me that only a crazy person will try to reason with someone who's irrational. The only solution is to stop whining about how corrupt and misguided these charlatans are and to start mobilizing efforts to stop them by removing them from office.
