The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve.

This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme.

Elon Musk says Social Security is a Ponzi scheme — that’s a lie. In a Ponzi, money goes to scammers. Social Security pays seniors & disabled workers using money paid in by workers. It’s not a scam — it’s a promise. Elon, HANDS OFF Social Security!

Republicans want bullshit tax breaks for billionaires and corporations. Guess how they're paying for it:

Hell no.

Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

"the FAA under Trump in 2019 launched a program to hire controllers using the very criteria he decried at his news conference."

Has anyone picked up on this?
