There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

Remember: Trump has no mandate. His agenda is cruel, corrupt, chaotic, and deeply unpopular. And the longer it goes on, the harder it is to sustain in the face of real opposition. That’s our job now — to keep building that opposition.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Don’t accept a buyout.
Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.
And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?
