Excellent piece from the Times on the deep conflicts of interest that arise if Musk is given the post he has lobbied Trump for: overseeing the federal agencies that fund him and regulate him, and that he is frequently at loggerheads with. Fox/henhouse etc. Gift link www.nytimes.com/2024/10/20/u...

Mr. Musk, who holds billions in federal contracts, wants to be in charge of the regulators that oversee him if Donald Trump wins.

Democrats need to make some ads about how Musk can’t be president here so instead he’s trying to buy the presidency for himself. Because that’s what this is.

His PAC just started posting on here. It is already a feed filled with misinformation. Every post needs to be reported then the account blocked

If you look into the political preachings of the billionaire tech bros in the last decade. Its obvious Musk, Thiel and others are planning a corpo-fascist takeover.
