Is Musk destroying democracy?

From Seattle to Miami, anti-Musk protesters gather at hundreds of Tesla locations.

At a "Tesla Takedown" rally in Los Angeles on Saturday, a protestor, aged 65, said he felt compelled to join because he believes President Trump and Musk pose a threat to democracy. "I want to do everything possible to protect democracy in this country," he said. "Trump and Musk are acting like kings."

Organizers say the Tesla Takedown movement is fueled by anger over Musk's slashing of the federal government, and that it aims to hit the billionaire where it hurts — the electric vehicle company that's become his main source of wealth.

What do you think?

Absolutely. He's an unelected individual in a made up and non-existent agency given authority. This is text book cronyism. Maga is being to the US the Russian concept of "Blat".

@MethDozer What does cronyism mean. Does it have something to do with colors?

Practically every American citizen is an unelected individual; and yet, each of us has the duty to stop corruption, waste and fraud in our government. For the first time in our history has an elected individual (President Trump) shared his authority with an unelected individual (Elon Musk) to do his duty to clean up the government.

It's not easy for most people to see clearly through a smoke screen. There are the few crooks who have been herding the sheep content to be shafted and gutted. Donald Trump and Elon Musk could be crooks also. This is why they can get what the crooks have been doing.
