Literally true.
And somehow being cheered on by the same masses that are clamoring to deport every single illegal immigrant.
the ones actually helping the country
Traitors and theives. "Worst immigrant by far, wants access to US coffers," should be the headline.
No... no... they know who owns them.
the more likely motivation could very well have something to do with stopping payment on all kinds of congressionally mandated programs.
Trump tried to stop spending on roughly $3 trillion in programs related to health care and housing assistance, among a host of others, immediately attracting lawsuits from state attorneys general. A federal judge in Washington D.C. put a halt to the freeze on Tuesday, but the obvious concern is that the U.S. court system doesn’t actually have an enforcement mechanism for rulings. Congress can write laws and the judiciary can issue orders, but the system only works if everyone agrees to abide by the rules. And if the executive branch under Trump and Musk can stop payments to programs they don’t like, ignoring entirely what Congress and the courts say, it’s game over for the country.
There is a mechanism.
Nobody discusses it in polite conversation.
Trump's administration has made it abundantly clear that the are not stopping the freeze. This is directly from Trump's press secretary after they rescinded the order
This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze.
It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo.
Why? To end any confusion created by the court's injunction.
The President's EO's on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented.
It's likely over for the country regardless.
I’d appreciate if President Musk would go through Congress first.
If he happens to go through a fine mesh screen first, we can take the pulp over in a glass.

Is he exhaling the protomolecule in the pic?
If he exploits this position and transfers so much as a penny to himself, I should hope he gets incarcerated for the rest of his life.
That sounds like a heartwarming Disney movie.
We’re in more of a human centipede situation.
Simple - Leverage and manipulation to comply.
Musk is a defense contractor, he gets billions from the government. He wants to fire government workers and replace them with ai stuff. It's his version of efficiency.
