Well, Musk now has the keys to the US Treasury, and has locked the previous controllers out.

He can control ALL payments to EVERYONE that the US Government makes. Your tax refund, your VA benefits, your Medicare/Medicaid payments, your Social Security pension, money to states, money to contractors... everything!

What could possibly go wrong?

Where's your outrage for Elon (someone very influential in the current presidency) speaking to Germany's far-right party?
But you're outraged about vandalism.
Where’s his outrage for the GOP courting Nazis, oh I’m sorry “white nationalists”, for the last 17 years? No, he drinks the koolaid, it’s the football player kneeling and the musician grabbing at their crotch (depending on skin color) that he cares about. Pathetic doesn’t begin to describe it.

From the article linked above:

One person familiar with the effort said Krause’s role will be subject to safeguards that would not allow any ability to make changes to the system and that no one outside Treasury would have access.

“The secretary’s approval was contingent on it being essentially a read-only operation,” the person said.

I too think Elon should be ejected from his dealings with the US Government. I do not think he is a nazi, just an awkward nerd.

He just hangs out with Nazis, promotes Nazis, and uses Nazi symbolism, right?

A person fucking goats as an awkward nerd or ironically for laughs is still a goat fucker.

How original that you just hand wave away all of Elon's white supremacist proclivities as being "an awkward nerd".

He is just like millions and millions of Nazis or white and nationalist fascists who have done the exact same thing throughout history supporting the same kinds of people.

The one thing racist fascists have in common is they can justify anything in their minds to excuse the worst of humanity

Why do right wingers think it's so weird to accuse people of being nazis when there are a lot of people who are very open about being neo nazis out there? They act like nazis are a long extinct movement but it's not, and when a guy is agreeing with neo nazis and unbanning neo nazi social media accounts it's not much of a stretch to say he supports them, elon's awkward nazi salute wasn't something in isolation, he's been showing support for them for a while.

They're also in the midst of a digital book burning. They're doing a purge of all the trans related content they can find. They're demanding the retraction and halt of publishing studies related to trans people. They're on the march to hit all the same stops the Nazis did, erase queer people, concentration camps for the undesireables (right now, mostly immigrants and those who look like they could maybe be immigrants), you'd have to be a major fucking fool (like pcgeek11) to not see the parallels.

"essentially" is coming off as a big more vague and ominous than I would like. Especially considering the various conspiracy theories and stated claims musk gives for doing things are so plainly lies.

Have you considered calling your representatives to let them know how you feel with regards to Musk's government activities? I may not know who you voted for, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't him.

More likely he enjoys all these things, just pretends to be against it in his mind so he feels like an ok person. It's all self-delusion to justify totally evil positions.

I was not in the camp of him being a nazi after that "salute"...like you I figured that was an awkward gesture from him.
HOWEVER, him speaking at/with actual nazis in Germany and courting them in Britain and Italy has changed my mind. How do you explain that? He didn't accidentally speak to these people.
