The hostile takeover of the United States is happening faster than even I imagined it would. What happened yesterday may, in many ways, signal the end of the America we knew.
When a messianic psychopath like Elon Musk acquires power, he will never give it up — not unless forced to by something more powerful than him. Even then, he may see the challenge as existential and get more & more asymmetrical in his tactics to retain what he sees as rightfully his. That is Musk’s trademark and now he has the power to decide who lives and dies.
Congress may have the “power of the purse” but Elon Musk stole the purse itself. However, it’s not just the US checkbook, now he has the private, personal information of every man, woman and child in the United States of America.
Elon Musk is downloading the government and he will use it to give a thumbs up or down to everyone in the country. Here is an example of how he will wield this immense power.
Yes, you read that right. An unelected half-trillionaire, literal Nazi, who bribed and social engineered his way into controlling the US Treasury, is taking requests from the plaintiff in Flynn vs. Stewartson to delete entire religions Flynn doesn’t like from the federal budget.
In reality, what Flynn is using as material for propaganda is a raw database search for the world “Lutheran” in the budget — which pulled in numerous programs serviced by Lutherans or named “Lutheran” for whatever reason. These programs are mainly in red states for foster care, drug treatment, Medicaid and other things the HHS helps subsidize as part of its normal function.
Of course Elon Musk, like Caesar or a Nazi camp guard, agrees with Flynn and gives a thumbs down to all the “illegal payments” that are named “Lutheran.” They both really wanted to be Milei with his chainsaw. And now their wish has come true.
The ways in which this embarrassing spectacle is unconstitutional, illegal, and dangerous are too numerous to list. We’re way past “constitutional crisis.” The Constitution simply does not apply in America anymore.
