Seems to me that it’s mostly revenge; dismantling any government agency that has ever thwarted him, or that the right wing does not like. But, I certainly don’t trust his motives…

    Your intuition is spot on.

    Elon is gutting USAID because they were investigating him over starlink. Elon is gutting the government agencies that oversee electric car regulations and safety regulations. Elon is going after the SEC for investigating him. Elon is using the government’s databases to amass data to target political and business competitors and to further the far right propaganda campaigns as well as build list of deportees and political targets. Elon is gutting every TLA he can to ensure his taxes decrease and yours increase. Elon is tearing through decades of support and opportunity programs designed to help the less fortunate/less abled to live comfortably so he can live more comfortably.

    Everything he’s doing, is for his own benefit and personal gain, to the extreme detriment of the entire country. He’s neither qualified nor elected. His actions should amount to treason, but they’re being enabled by a traitorous, treasonous, felonious criminal, the shittiest president this country has ever seen.

      The country also let said traitorous, treasonous felonious criminal run a second time so we’ve failed as a country long before the past November 5th

        Hard to argue with that. IDK why the fuck we can let a convicted felon run for the highest office when they’re barred from voting (state dependent, fuck you florida), or can’t own a firearm. The law literally prescribes they cannot be trusted. We can thank stacked scotus (i.e. trump) for this failure too.

          You should see how up in arms the GOP is here in Missouri because there’s a felon working in the public defender’s office. He should run for president instead!
