There is no question where Elon's priorities lie. Only a wolf would put a fox in charge of protecting the hens.

Elon should stick to playing with toy rockets and tinkering with batteries. He has zero connectivity with the average voter in America and zero understanding of the structures designed to protect Americans… government for the people needs to be that… not what can we take from the people.

Immigrant. They now love immigrants

Voters are beginning to realize they elected Musk not Trump

Elon Musk is anti-consumers.

I enjoy watching the downfall of elona musk , and btw - #ArmUkraineToWinNow

90% of federal agencies can be eliminated

Unelected billionaire continues to ruin country he wasn’t born in.

It's unfortunate that only after all of this government decimation in the name of "saving money" will people figure out that in a fiat currency economy, taxes don't fund the government.

Elon Musk cannot just decide to "scrap" a federal agency. Nobody elected him to do shit.

One person dictating, should be a big no

DOGE doesn’t exist. It’s not a department. At this point it is s private website. The Trump administration doesn’t take office for two months. Musk isn’t running anything in government.

Dude is allergic to anything that protects citizens.

If anyone thinks this exercise is meant to make government more efficient & not to dismantle all regulation, government oversight, programs that help and protect ordinary people & to exact retribution on any departments that didn't fall in line with Trump, wake up and smell the coffee.

Isn’t Congress all Republicans now?

Musk is scum.

Trump has already said that he plans to challenge the Impoundment Control Act. That would get him a lot of the way there.

And 60 votes in the Senate would be needed to do this.

Without John McCain, they would have had scuttled the ACA without a replacement. Scuttling the watchdog may seem like a pro business move. So it would not surprise me😞.

They’ll hand him everything he wants! Republicans hate anything that protects regular people!

Veto power in the senate

You say this like you didn’t live thru the last time Trump had trifecta. They did nothing with an even bigger majority. AND there are plenty of republicans in Biden districts that have to run in 1 1/2 years. They will NOT give him everything he wants

Could CFPB be eliminated through Budget Reconciliation? Assuming it could, then yeah, this and tax cuts for the 1% seem pretty likely to pass through even a narrow Republican majority.

he’ll get it

It's funny you think they will do this legally. They think laws are bad or somehow oppressive unless it's hits someone they don't like. Laws only work on people who follow the law. We are not safe.

Banks will be thrilled.

How do you post Gift Articles to Bluesky?

He would.

It’s one of the most successful government department. Costs less than $1 billion to run and gets about $20 billion back for consumers. 🤔 In wonder why the billionaire wants to get rid of that?

I knew that was coming, especially b/c the CFPB goes after banks.

I think he should retire right now and stop with all the madness. What will happen next year? It will be as drastic as exodus from Twitter.

What could go wrong here …

I’ve never cheered so hard for plaintiffs’ lawyers as I have after every fatal Tesla fire and fatal crash.

An unelected “head” of a fake agency ordering everyone around like he owns the place. Speaking of trimming, Musk needs to be cut down to size, first and foremost.

A private citizen in charge of a fictional department and issuing these threats must be truly deluded and should be held for observation.

A man that eager to be guillotined should at least wear a powdered wig.

Don't worry corporations will look after you.

Who gives a fuck #BrokenPost ? Stop washing Elons balls you Billionaire laundering rag.

Stop legitimizing “DOGE.” It is not a real think.

Of course he does. Anything that helps fight corporate power must be destroyed.

Jeff Bezos:

Elon Musk, Unelected Bureaucrat

Not a chance he gets 60 votes for that in the Senate.

Oh look Washington Post followed us to Blue Sky where liberals & their arch nemesis progressives & leftists call home 😛 & yet panders to neo-confederate white nationalist Trump & his adjacent. Hope #ElonMusk reads up on Icarus and what happened to him.

Given the marketing of the “self-driving” Tesla, is it any wonder that Musk wants to get rid of any government agency that oversees product marketing.

2024 Elections need investigation. Trump & Musk were both in constant contact with Russia, as was his campaign. Has anyone read the laws? America needs Justice, now.

I really like how WaPo reports on all of the latest right-wing goons and their facist minions. Go death camps for AmeriKKKa.

Wait, so they don't even have to wait til January 20, 2025?

Failure to identify this would-be robber baron as such.

Moron

The man who would be king.

🎯

This ….

start with cutting all government funding for space X and other companies he owns and all big corporations. Also Cut their tax breaks.

Stop pretending he has any power.

Congress would need to approve that. That would be an interesting fight.

He wants to delete oversight and protections for we the people!

Pretty much been that way since Reagan was elected.......

Yes, WP. It's all Elon and no Trump. Nice reporting.

Won't that cause consumers sank into high prices and costs of products not observed by that watchdog agency?

Which is EXACTLY what the billionaires want. What were you expecting?

What could possibly go wrong?

Elon Musk is not part of the US Government

That's a tiny sliver of good news..

This fucker was never elected. He shouldn’t have the voice he does.

And YOU should be writing an article saying how dastardly this is! Bezos is going along with the facists and how they want to destroy this country. The Post is useless if they just parrot everything Trump and Musk say with no comment. Are you even allowing op-ed pieces any more???

DOGE = Lie down with dogs get up with fleas.

bsky.app/profile/mrbo...

Time to deport this immigrant.

Oh i do not want to hear anymore about all the disastrous happenings in the USA because of this terrible election results. The people who choose for these dumbish two will soon have to feel the hurt, alas too late...

Elon needs to shut the hell up.

First comes the corruption. Then the embrace of fascism to protect it.™️ bsky.app/profile/wash...

Nope.

They simply want to clear the way for rampant corruption and plunder.

An agency literally created to help people from being scammed out of their hard-earned money. What's his aim here--let the scammers have free reign? This will make Trump happy, since he's a notorious scam artist.

I don't remember his name on the ballot

Asshole

Elin and Bezos running a train on Trump right now.

They might take a looky look at his cybertrucks…

‘We certainly don’t need THIS one.’

Is Elon the new president? lol

He is the President and a government contractor

He's the co-President and it appears Vance is the assistant to the co-President.

This is how they remake America. I don’t know if our courts will hold up the constitution is a phrase I never thought I’d say.

FUCK THIS GUY!

Your photo makes him look sober and reasonable. Is that your intent?

I don't care what musk wants just as he doesn't care what I want.

Or space X

A lot of that money goes to Elon that's why it won't be touched

DOGE doesn’t exist

It’s been tried before.

Of course he did. Who but billionaires don’t want someone regulating them. I mean how could you become a Russian like oligarch if people could actually monitor you being a POS.

Easier than addressing the issues and recalls with the most failed EV of 2024.

Because we need a repeat of 2008.

And so it begins.

Another big middle-finger to the American people; Musk doesn’t think you need protecting or deserve to be treated fairly by businesses/corporate entities.

can we stop posting about this clown please????!!!!

Elonia is very busy blowing up our government- every corner of it

Typical! He is not for the people anyway! His cars and rockets explode and he can give a shit!

He’s a nobody who thinks he’s somebody. These things need congressional approval. It’s all talkey talkey. Be concerned with what they’re not saying out loud.

Remember when Hilary, as First Lady, was tasked with healthcare improvement? The GOP went nuts! Unelected!!

Elon Musk and Trump will turn the US into a banana republic

Huh, so weird that a wildly corrupt guy would be mad at the anti-corruption department

Can’t wait until Elon and Donald get into a fight,it will happen I’m thinking about 2 yrs maybe less..

Perhaps MuskRat and Ramaslimey should be what gets deleted.

Because Consumer interests are best looked after by the monompolizers

This is conflict of interest at its finest

That non endorsement of Mrs Harris, was it really worth it? I wonder if Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein would work these days for a coward newspaper. 4th pillar of democracy? Ehhh, when it’s not trump, eh?

Welcome back 2008 banking crisis while nation’s biggest banks, credit card companies and other lenders celebrate.

Why don’t you just start calling him President Musk. Everyone knows old man Trump isn’t up to the task.

#murdochGutterMedia Democracy dies in darkness

WaPo can fuck off. The way they report the news makes unequal comparisons. I won’t read anything they have to say.

Delete Musk subsidy & glasshouse ego

There need to be consumer protections.

We need that bureau!

Surely eliminating the CFPB wouldn’t favor Elon Musk’s companies at all.

Asshole

The president can’t even do this. Creation and elimination of federal agencies is the job of Congress.

"You know what would really help corporate profit margins soar?! .. letting them go back to f-king people over! We need to normalize do like Trump did and turn peoples one time payments into ongoing monthly payments w/o their knowledge! ... We'll make BAAANK!!" ~ Musk .. probably

Note that it's always the agencies, employees, and regulations that exist to protect the powerless from abuse by the powerful which Elon deems unnecessary & targets for cuts.
