>>DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A week after President-elect Donald Trump's victory, Elon Musk said his political action committee would "play a significant role in primaries."

The following week, the billionaire responded to a report that he might fund challengers to GOP House members who don't support Trump's nominees. "How else? There is no other way," Musk wrote on X, which he rebranded after purchasing Twitter and moving to boost conservative voices, including his own.

And during his recent visit to Capitol Hill, Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy delivered a warning to Republicans who don't go along with their plans to slash spending as part of Trump's proposed Department of Government Efficiency.

"Elon and Vivek talked about having a naughty list and a nice list for members of Congress and senators and how we vote and how we're spending the American people's money," said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.

Trump's second term comes with the specter of the world's richest man serving as his political enforcer. Within Trump's team, there is a feeling that Musk not only supports Trump's agenda and Cabinet appointments, but is intent on seeing them through to the point of pressuring Republicans who may be less devout.<<

Lets see if the egos of Billionaires can coexist long enough to establish the American Oligarchy.

When the SCOTUS put the USA up for sale (Citizens United), it couldn't be long before some wretched billionaire came along and bought it for himself.

The 40 something years of deregulation, capital gains tax breaks, subsidies, and Fed Reserve bailouts will trickle on us any day now

You think it's bad now? Can you say: "Skynet"? AI is the logical off shoot of billionaire oligarchy. Crush the proletariat. How long before 1% of the population controls 90% of the wealth?

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

So progs are against primaries now? Well, of course they are as witnessed by the appointment of the Ditz as their presidential candidate. Progs are a threat to democracy. We need to arrest and jail them as traitors.

Progs against primaries? quit being daft. The flood of Billionaires money washing over the country like a money tsunami will buy votes and voters, both of which Musk has done. This trend will continue and worsen.

Prog billionaires, of which there are many, having been doing that for a long while. You haven't said a word about them. So your current bitching is the usual partisan crap which we can safely ignore.

>>The world's richest man ripped into the tax proposal on Monday, saying it unfairly shifted wealth away from America's richest citizens. The issue comes down to "who is best at capital allocation - governments or entrepreneurs," Musk wrote in one of several tweets on tax policy. << Sure Leon, you will protect and finance our institutions better than our own government. This is what Oligarchs dream over, privatizing everything because they will own all the private companies providing the services. You will pay for security instead of having police, you will pay for firefighters or your house will burn down. The roads you travel on will be tolled. Everything will have the customer service of ATT and your recourse will be go without or pay them what they demand. Leon and the Billionaire class will sing the praises of efficiency, the same way he praises spacezX while seeking NASA's demise.

Yup. And if you look at all the boomers around here on various forms of government dole, I will truly enjoy them freaking the F out. Might even have to get back on Nextdoor next year just for funzies.

Billionaire polluters, WELCOME: President-elect Trump indicated on Tuesday that he'll give expedited approvals to projects that invest at least $1 billion into the U.S. economy.

"Any person or company investing ONE BILLION DOLLARS, OR MORE, in the United States of America, will receive fully expedited approvals and permits, including, but in no way limited to, all Environmental approvals," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

Factories run in the style of an 1890s coal camp are the GOP utopia. Atwood and Bradbury write dystopian fiction as a warning and Musk, Thiel, et al. take them to be playbooks.

Heh heh. Well, guess your party should stop with the crazy, stupidity, and lying and maybe people would vote for it again. As it is, they have voted for us and we're going to do what the voters have asked us to do.

We now have a blatant Plutocracy. The whole things as if the "S" in USA means "SCAM". The Rapist party will be able to sell whatever they want on Trumps Etsy account.

It was fun while it lasted.

I heard today that he started some business pertaining to Bitcoin right before the election, and now he is pushing the use of Bitcoin. What a fucking joke.

I sure hope so, I think it's necessary for the revolution.

Yep. These approvals need to be pushed through. Do I agree with open pollution, wildlife destruction and the poisoning of our water supply? Of course not - I voted for Harris, but the people have spoken and this is what they want.


-------------------------
I was right.

Maybe the MAGAts can connect the dots when they get sick from drinking polluted water, breathing polluted air and living in areas contaminated by Billion dollar wealth creators. They will get sick, they will have no insurance, they will be covered by medicare and medicaid and still vote for Republicans who call them parasites and seek to destroy their last chance for health care.

Woe is us. Oh well, at least it will kill progs too. Maybe after I am dead from all the horrible things that the Republicans will do to me, I'll vote prog. So, there is hope, JB.
