Four years ago Donald Trump attempted a coup using violence and it failed. Now that he is once more in power, he appears to be attempting a coup from within. His partner, Elon Musk, who was not elected to any political position, and is one of the richest people in the world, has been given carte blanch access to everything and unlimited power. Musk now has access to YOUR Social Security number, YOUR tax records, basically any and all records the federal government has on you.
How does this impact you? Your SSN, income, investments, sexual identity, voting record, are no longer secure. Jobs are no longer secure. If you have student loans, grants, or work in the educational arena, you may lose your future loans, or even have your existing loans called due, lose grants and/or your job.
Members of the FBI are getting fired without legitimate cause. Thousands of employees across multiple agencies, who have less than one year of service, have received letters of termination. Employees with offers have had them rescind. All of this done by Musk.
Musk and his group of 20-somethings have fired the individuals responsible for handling and maintaining nuclear weapons. (Gee, why would we need them?) They have fired FAA employees, USDA employees working on the bird flu issues, all in the name of rooting out fraud & waste. Yet, no one bats an eye at the needless expense of Trump attending the Super Bowl, or his antics at the NASCAR race where he had the Beast and Air Force 1 doing laps.
Trump says employees who work from home aren't even working. Yet, he has spent 17 days on the golf course since he took office. While he is out play, Musk is tearing our country apart. Trump's insanely unqualified nominees for important positions are destroying the Dept of Education, Dept of Health & Welfare, Veteran's Affairs, and every other place they can get their hands on to.
Trump campaigned on ending inflation and bringing prices down. Inflation is increasing and they are cutting SNAP programs and Medicaid. Could Medicare & Social Security be far behind?
Pay attention people, Trump and Musk are running their own coup right before your very eyes.
