Felon Muck thinks he bought and now owns OUR federal government

I don't know about you guys, but my taxes going to the CDC means I OWN our government's world-class epidemiology and disease-fighting arm. We OWN the FAA and the Flight Safety. We OWN the agencies who keep our nuclear arms safe. We OWN the treasury and the safe data-keeping within. We OWN the Department of Education. We pay for it, Congress who we elect points the money to the right places, and in return we get a safe and relatively functioning society. We OWN that society. We OWN that safety.

Musk is like a guy who comes into your house and sells your car to someone else, sells your home security system, kills your pets, eats your food, and pockets your cash. He doesn't OWN our federal government, and it is far past time for him to get his fucking hands off of it. How DARE he steal our civilization from us? He isn't a vulture capitalist who bought and owns our government. He is a vulture capitalist who bought and owns a minority party.

Every bit of private information - personal/family, banking/financial, health/medical - ever collected by the Treasury, IRS, Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Education, etc.

Information that is impossible or illegal to obtain otherwise

Elon Musk has never answered this simple question: WHAT EXACTLY IS HE GOING TO DO WITH ALL THAT INFORMATION - OUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

And thus, has zero respect for Federal workers. He is also convinced there must be trillions in fraud in a government that has mandatory audits, unlike his own companies, and thus is just "finding" fraud wherever he thinks it must be.

He is the most dangerous man in the world. Be afraid because he is awful.

that's just a talking point/excuse. He considers it fraud if the government spends any $ that doesn't go directly into his pocket.
