      Just cast your mind back to Elon “interviewing” Trump – It doesn’t take much imagination to reframe this conversation about firing striking workers as instead about ungrateful retirees thinking they’re owed benefits.

      *”I love it,” Trump said. “You’re the greatest … I mean, I look at what you do. You just walk in and you just say, ‘You wanna quit?’ They go on strike,…and you say, ‘That’s OK, you’re all gone … Every one of you is gone.'”*

      *”You are the greatest!” he added after Musk chuckled. “You would be very good [on the proposed commission]. Oh, you would love it.”*

      What the helll else would you expect from these two?

      Let them do it.

      Go ahead Elon. Show Americans what they voted for.

      Delete the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

      Slash taxes on billionaires.

      Slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

      Increase prices of consumer goods and services through unnecessary tariffs.

      Bring the “pain” Americans want.

      Our country deserves it as punishment for our collective stupidity for voting in a party who literally said they’d do exactly all of that.

      Make America Trump’s America

      What President Elect Musk Wants, the orange bitch in chief will deliver.

      I ***LOVE*** the CFPB. They try to close that place and I’ll be over there handcuffing myself to their doors. (–and asking people to bring me some coffee from Swing’s.)

      some recent things the CFPB has done:

      –CFPB Sues Walmart and Branch Messenger for Illegally Opening Deposit Accounts for More Than One Million Delivery Drivers

      –CFPB Files Lawsuit to Stop Illegal Kickback Scheme to Steer Borrowers to Rocket Mortgage

      –CFPB Sues JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo for Allowing Fraud to Fester on Zelle

      –CFPB Takes Action on Bait-and-Switch Credit Card Rewards Tactics

      >Since its founding, the agency has returned more than $19 billion in cash to people who have been scammed by financial institutions, including predatory payday lenders and even some of the largest banks in the country. It has done so under Republican and Democratic presidents, including major actions against Wells Fargo and Equifax during President Trump’s first term in office, which, combined, returned $425 million to consumers.

      Two train of thoughts:

      Empathy for those who are at a 5th or 6th grade reading level and truly don’t know what they voted for?

      And a “Fuck around and find out”
      attitude for those who knew better — I’m talking about conservatives who knew Trump would give more tax cuts to the rich and corporations while taking a wrecking ball to working class Americans — yet voted for this train wreck anyway. The Republican Party is operating as designed. And, no, the rich will not trickle down their generosity. How do we know? Five decades of failed trickle down theory.

    12. charcoalist on

      This is how the media will spin the draconian cuts that are spelled out in the pages of Project 2025: It was Elon’s fault. Definitely not the detailed plans of the Heritage Foundation, decades in the making. Definitely not the fault of the guy who hired Elon.

    14. Boring-Fee3404 on

      I don’t like the use of the word ‘Delete’ reminds me of Stalin’s purges.

      Deport Musk:

      The Washington Post alleges that in 1995, Musk was admitted to Stanford University’s graduate school but didn’t enroll in classes. He instead used the student visa to stay in the U.S. and work on what would eventually become Zip2, Musk’s online business directory. The Post also alleges that in 1996, investors made a funding agreement contingent on Musk obtaining permission to work in the U.S. within 45 days. Zip2 board member Derek Proudian told the newspaper that Musk’s immigration status was “not what it should be.”

      Charge musk with immigration violations, seize his assets, and deport him immediately.

      Rule of law… Law and order… right? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    18. Ornery-Ticket834 on

      That’s typical of how a swine would act. He claims he is saving taxpayers money by fucking them over at the same time.

    19. DrBunsonHoneyPoo on

      I’m just going to say this about musk. Screw you, you’re nothing more than a Steve Jobs cosplay. That has only gotten rich off the government. Because there’s no other way you could have. Besides what money daddy gave you for his mistake.

    20. yogibones on

      Why does everyone keep saying “President Musk”? He hasn’t even been sworn in.

    21. chronomagnus on

      I had a debt collector trying to double dip on some medical debt I paid off, I filed a complaint with the CFPB and it was handled in less than a month. Of course an agency that actually helps people out is on the chopping block, that makes perfect sense for an out of touch airheaded billionaire.

      Somehow, I’m sensing a revenge motive for the abolition of apartheid…

    23. lazybeekeeper on

      “Business man hates business rules” now watch his X platform take straight to mobilizing the masses of morons he’s got behind him to become the “weaponized democracy” he railed against in the past.

    24. hunterghostal on

      Every time Elon Musk uses “delete” referencing Death Note I just remember that the person in power of our government is a “m’lady” fedora-wearing stereotype. It’s completely insane.

    25. Frustrable_Zero on

      They’re basically trying to rip away the concessions of the New Deal and start another Depression.

      The New Deal wasn’t the result of trying to put down social safety nets because they cared about Americans. **It** **was** **quell** **brewing** **militancy** **against** **the** **system** **that** **might** **have** **sparked** **a** **revolution**

      Then start with the federal subsidies Tesla, SpaceX, and all the other bloat businesses that suck federal funds from taxpayers pockets.  

    27. LowGoPro on

      Just that header “Elon Musk wants to…”

      It shouldn’t matter what any one individual wants to do.

      Hahaha on us

    28. hammonjj on

      I just got an $1100 check from a company that ripped me off like a decade ago due to CFPB because they ripped a lot of people off and CFPB sued and road the train all the to the end. This is one of those agencies that actually does good work.

    29. Biff2019 on

      Here’s an idea…. how about we start by putting Elon on the “bad” list, confiscate his money, and throw his South African ass out of the United States?

      If ever there was a case for canceling citizenship, he would be it……

    30. donac on

      Elon Musk should just delete all the subsidies, tax breaks, and loopholes he’s been given or has ever taken advantage of here in the US. He’s such a welfare queen.

    31. Death-by-Fugu on

      I want him deleted from America. Deport this lil Apartheid baby.

    33. Racecarlock on

      Nobody on the planet are bigger welfare queens than CEOS and corporations. They want you to focus on how expensive social security and medicare are so you don’t focus on the massive subsidies, tax breaks, and government contracts they get.

      If you’ve known a stoned slacker in your life, they cost WAY less in money from all government programs combined than any corporation or CEO that you’ve ever seen on TV complaining about taxes, regulations, and workers unions. So if you want to take welfare away from deadbeats and slackers, let’s start with the richest ones first, yeah?
