Elon Musk pressured Reddit’s CEO on content moderation

Whoa, yesterday, #Trump illegally stripped #CollectiveBargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of #FederalWorkers in 18 different departments across multiple #FederalAgencies.
The admin stated that “Certain Federal unions have declared *#war* on President Trump’s agenda.”
Is he going to use #wartime powers against #union members now?

'We're Not Just Some Bureaucrats': DOE Employees on How Their Work Helps Texas Students
Department of Education workers and union leaders in Texas say kids will pay the price for Trump’s decision to “break this system.”Josephine Lee (The Texas Observer)
#EdwardCoristine is among the most visible members of the #DOGE effort that has been given sweeping access to official networks as it attempts to radically downsize the U.S. government.
Past reporting had focused on his youth - he is 19 - and his chosen nickname of "#BigBalls," which became a pop culture punchline. #Musk has championed the teen on his social media site X, telling his followers last month that "Big Balls is awesome."
Exclusive: #DOGE staffer, '#BigBalls', provided tech support to #cybercrime ring, records show
The best-known member of Elon #Musk's U.S. DOGE Service team of technologists once provided support to a cybercrime gang that bragged about trafficking in stolen data & #cyberstalking an #FBI agent, according to digital records reviewed by Reuters.

My dad died in September 2022 with $400 to his name, which was used to pay for his cremation. I scattered his ashes in the ocean because we had fun at the beach when I was little.
To DOGE: it's not that a dead man is trying to get money from you, it's that YOU ARE TRYING TO GET MONEY FROM A DEAD MAN.
And to my dad: Happy Birthday Dad, love you, miss you
2/2
Yesterday was my dad’s birthday. DOGE wrote me a letter this month. They want money back from him.
He had schizophrenia and was sometimes homeless. In his later years I was able to help him stay housed, and he received $180 of SSI monthly which went toward his rent in assisted living in a low-income bed.
But DOGE has realized that they overpaid him. So they sent a letter warning that some of that money may need to be returned.
The thing is, my dad is dead.

The #DOGE cuts so far aren't enough to make a dent in the nat debt or offset Trump’s proposed tax cuts for the wealthy. Nor do they make govt more efficient, which'd require a thoughtful assessment. No evidence of “fraud waste & abuse.”
But as a means to push the nation closer to mass privatization of services? Now the cuts make sense -little need of a robust NWS if forecasting is going to be farmed out to private companies. Ditto for the USPS...
Even Bloomberg...

So anyways, looks like Tesla has a Q1 quarterly report due out on April 22nd I suspect this will be the first time key investors really come to terms with Elon Musk's Trump antics.
Major investors are already sounding the alarm. I've been around the startup scene long enough to know the VCs are absolutely looking to can Musk. Musk is not gonna be an easy CEO to fire so they'll wait till the very last minute I bet.

#doge failed to close the Department of Education after a court battle told him he wasn't allowed to do that in no uncertain terms.
Of course we have a pretty open double-presidency at this point, as Elon and Trump are financially invested, and corrupt billionaires with the only real goal of power, and selfish gain.
#trump now has another executive order to close it down as retribution for DOGE being brutalized in court.

Trump administration guts board of US Institute of Peace. Group says DOGE arrives

On Friday, several #DOGE employees arrived at the #UnitedStates Institute of #Peace [#USIP], accompanied by 2 #FBI agents, according to Gonzo Gallegos, the institute's communications director. They left after a brief discussion about the institute's status.
The institute is not part of the federal #ExecutiveBranch, but is instead an #independent, #nonprofit agency that was established by #Congress in 1984.
