I wrote about Musk and this bureaucratic coup as plainly as I could. There's reporting in here & the particulars are overwhelming but what's happening is so clear: He's not trying to run the federal govt like a software company He's trying to turn it into a political weapon. (gift link)

Nobody elected Elon Musk. So why is Trump granting him all-access powers to get rid of funding for Medicaid, Social Security and more?! We need to get Musk's hands off our money and stop the Musk takeover NOW.
