Is Elon Musk on the government payroll? If so what is he being paid? He is not legitimately elected or nominated so really he could be considered an appointed obstructionist. If that isn’t a reason to call such an action by a president a high crime or misdemeanor then I don’t know what is? A way to get around congress. Trump is a criminal who is getting away with something similar to what he was convicted on in the New York case. Altering the books. Unfortunately many people don’t see this they Oh he’s just getting rid of government waste. What they are not seeing is the way he’s gone about doing it. They’re blind to the unconstitutionality of it. As for the IG’s , I hope they are reinstated soon.

Elon Musk has been feeding at the government trough for decades and never would have gotten Tesla Inc. of the ground without substantial government monies. He also is a huge defense contractor and up to his armpits in contracts with NASA. Probably more. To say he has conflicts of interest is to miss the point. He's a criminal disruptor and enemy of these United States, just like our Felon In Chief, his 'Don.'

This is exactly the reason the Founding Fathers included the native-born requirement to be president. President Musk has no loyalty to anything but his money. Unfortunately, the same can be said for VP tRump.

Unfortunately, the Founding Fathers never thought of the scenario where the President could be bought by a non-native born individual, or anyone else, for that matter. We desperately need campaign and judicial reform to determine that the situation that we have today cannot ever happen again.

Musk is sort of a South African welfare queen to borrow from a Regan era slur,

Musk is a corporate welfare queen.

I don’t expect the IGs to be re-instated, but if they are their operations will likely be gutted by the “government reform” (destruction of the civil service) that President Musk is carrying out. And just as criminal is the complicity of every republican in Congress. History will not be kind to them nor to the corporate oligarchs that are participating—or standing idly by as the wrecking ball destroys our country.

We need to collectively and repeatedly place the blame at the feet of the complicit and depraved GOP reps who are violating their oaths of office every single day.

Or maybe the 5 million Dems who couldn’t be bothered enough to show up and vote last Movember?

Repeating the lie "President Musk" preys on the Josef Goebbels point that if a lie is told for long enough that it will be believed. We must cease doing this forthwith. It's also normalising a totally abnormal situation. Musk is an offensive operative installed by a corrupt president.

Excellent point. You’re right.

Thank you. It seems obvious.

I have seen posts from political sources saying Musk is being paid $7 or $8 million per day but have not gone to see if I can find corroboration of this.

I also heard something about the $8 million a day for Musk, but I think it was in regard to what his various government contracts bring to his businesses.

No, I think this is what he's being paid to destroy our government. And now he's into the IRS!!!

They both need to be arrested as traitors. Unfortunately, that leaves Vance as Pres. , who is also a traitor.

Forget this. We (America) now (as I write) are being taken over by organized insurrectionists. We now have an Autocratic Fascist in the White House. Many in congress now are actively implementing Project 2025.

The Justice Department needs to go on the offensive now. Or, the way I see it, America will lose democracy and become another Fascist state.
