Is Elon Musk Staging a Coup? Billionaire Seizes Control at Treasury Dept.

it's only a coup if it comes from the Coup d'Etat region of France, otherwise it's just a sparkling government takeover.

Hey, hey. Elon Musk purchased the US fair and square, we've known that for like 3 months now, no need to go acting all surprised!

They want to turn the US into kleptocratic empire ruled by organised crime, like Russia or Angolan former dictator Jose dos Santos with his Russian family

Nah, everybody relax. Go to work, come home to your 2.3 kids. Everything is normal. President Musk is doing everything he can to take care of the immigrant and LGBTQ problem, the only problems the USA has. Men could be playing womens sports, guys. I mean it. Massive fucking problem.

One is fascist narcissistic billionaire and other is criminal

More Cybertrucks sold than all other EV trucks combined. Not a Tesla fan. Also not a fan of FUD. https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/18/24247985/tesla-cybertruck-july-2024-sales-deliveries-match-all-ev-trucks

Is it a coup if Trump and Republicans have given him permission and letting him do what he wants?

Fully understand what is happening here in America. The far right has destroyed the rule of law and are just acting to destroy our government. Don’t let this happen to your country. Don’t let Elon Musk any where near your elections or near your country.

Step 1: Remove all the inspector generals

Step 2: Gain access to the U.S. treasury payment system

Step 3: Lock out all the rest of the treasury staff

Step 4: Impose a 25% Tarriff on your largest trading partners

Step 5: Profit!

Step 6: Realize Trump backed down on the Mexican Tarriffs because the president of Mexico called and stroked Trump's ego.

It's a fascist coup.

They took control of the judiciary some time ago, they recently seized the executive and now they're destroying any remaining institutional power that can oppose them.

The current regime is not legitimate.

Musk is saying that they aren't going to pay US contractors for up to a month.

There is no question.

Is this how the Russians felt when Rasputin was to influencing the Tsar?

Are there no drug tests for political advisors or something?
I'd have expected this for a position with much power - just like in the military.

Or am I that far off here from reality?

Yes.

Our last hope it seems:

The chancellor is taking power lol
