Elon Musk has made his presence felt in Washington, D.C. As Trump passes executive order after executive order, Musk and his pubescent minions are on the ground, locking up federal buildings and preventing members of Congress from entering.

Musk, a “special government employee, uses his authority and blessing from Trump to dismantle programs affecting millions worldwide. Musk is in charge of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) to gut federal programs and dismiss thousands of workers. He’s gone after the Treasury Department, USAID, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Fortunately, a federal judge has blocked Musl from accessing the personal data of millions of Americans, such as their social security numbers and bank account information. So far, 19 states have sued the Trump Administration over his attempt to freeze federal funding for numerous programs and allow Musk access to Treasury data.

Meanwhile, Musk is making his intentions clear daily — he’s been accused of allowing X to express hate speech, benefiting from the chaos he’s causing, executing Project 2025, funding a far-right political movement in Germany, and an unelected Xenophobic racist who is trying to bring about the Fourth Reich.
