it's only a coup if it comes from the Coup d'Etat region of France, otherwise it's just a sparkling government takeover.
Hey, hey. Elon Musk purchased the US fair and square, we've known that for like 3 months now, no need to go acting all surprised!
Unelected weirdo walks into government facilities and does what he wants.
They want to turn the US into kleptocratic empire ruled by organised crime, like Russia or Angolan former dictator Jose dos Santos with his Russian family
Nah, everybody relax. Go to work, come home to your 2.3 kids. Everything is normal. President Musk is doing everything he can to take care of the immigrant and LGBTQ problem, the only problems the USA has. Men could be playing womens sports, guys. I mean it. Massive fucking problem.
What does first lady trump say about this?
He’s just making weird grunting noises, kinda sounds like an orangutan
One is fascist narcissistic billionaire and other is criminal
This reboot of The Odd Couple is really weird.
Is it a coup if Trump and Republicans have given him permission and letting him do what he wants?
Yes. Since he wasn't elected and the actions he is taking require actual laws to pass to occur legally
This is the kinda shit that needs to be taught to everyone in US history class.
Although no one was prosecuted
Why the FUCK do we keep letting people get away with this shit??
I believe the theory is that Roosevelt sat down with the Business Plot crew in secret and gave them the option of a) they convince their business pals not to oppose the New Deal too much or b) they hang. Obviously they picked option a.
Just business as usual :P
More Cybertrucks sold than all other EV trucks combined. Not a Tesla fan. Also not a fan of FUD. https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/18/24247985/tesla-cybertruck-july-2024-sales-deliveries-match-all-ev-trucks
I think your comment has appeared in the wrong the wrong musk thread. This one is about takeover of us treasury.
I think cyberducks is here: https://lemmy.world/post/25080532
Yeah, and taylor swift is one of the best selling artists of all time. Almost selling as much the beatles or queen.
What's your point?
Who the fuck asked
Well that definitely proves that ~~President~~ Musk hasn't taken over the U.S. government for his own whims.
There are not that many e-trucks... Only Americans buy these, and they proved that the majority is OK wit supporting Nazis...
Fully understand what is happening here in America. The far right has destroyed the rule of law and are just acting to destroy our government. Don’t let this happen to your country. Don’t let Elon Musk any where near your elections or near your country.
Too late. He tweeted "Cześć" (or Hello). How scared should I be?
Russians and fossil fuel corporations are cheering
Step 1: Remove all the inspector generals
Step 2: Gain access to the U.S. treasury payment system
Step 3: Lock out all the rest of the treasury staff
Step 4: Impose a 25% Tarriff on your largest trading partners
Step 5: Profit!
Step 6: Realize Trump backed down on the Mexican Tarriffs because the president of Mexico called and stroked Trump's ego.
inspector generals
I don't want to be that guy, but the plural is "inspectors general".
Now I'll say it like that guy in Futurama. Inspectorses generals
I say always be that guy. You have the heart to speak up and help others to learn and grow - for example I was questioning which it was, but you confirmed for me that it is indeed inspectors general.
I'm never gonna forget inspectors general now because of this conversation. It's with me for life.
You can file it under memories general
I don't think she stroked his ego, I think she played hardball and showed him how he was gonna get hurt a lot more than they were, then he backed off (saving face by saying she would send troops to the border). That and the fact that women intimidate the hell out of Trump. He knows how to bully men but women get him all discombobulated.
women get him all discombobulated.
Until he grabs em by the pussy
It's a fascist coup.
They took control of the judiciary some time ago, they recently seized the executive and now they're destroying any remaining institutional power that can oppose them.
The current regime is not legitimate.
