I’ve been saying this for years…Musk is a moron. He is absolutely not a genius, he is psychopath that uses his psychopathic behavior to appear enigmatic. His money and lack of empathy and remorse allow him to achieve success in ways no healthy person could or would. It’s all a lie.

#DODGIE no one ever thought being a racist was cool.
Musk & Trump have no qualms about firing tens of thousands of dedicated civil servants, but a DOGE staffer who RECENTLY tweeted tons of racist stuff including, literally, “I was racist before it was cool”? He's a retention priority.

Just in case people don’t fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump’s way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him

When I was a platoon leader, I had two trans Soldiers in my platoon; two of the most motivated & high-quality Soldiers I’ve observed.
Around 15k service members are trans. Expelling trained & capable SM’s harms national security.
Most importantly, it’s immoral & goes against our national values.

News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration.
Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare.
This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.
