Republicans are handmaids to Trump and Musk, have given up their constitutional powers. The injuries they have inflicted by eviscerating public services is it has made it impossible for the them to appear at town halls.
Midterms too far away. If people want to do something practical in the short term, start a boycott Tesla movement because Musk is highly leveraged. He offered Tesla as his collateral on X, and if Tesla crashes and burns, and his loans are called in, X could crash and burn, and so could his whole empire. More impact than getting mad at the Democrats.
That stunt on the White House lawn was illegal, like everything Trump does. But what it reveals is - Musk is in serious trouble. The absurdity of the whole thing hides the seriousness of Musk’s risk and vulnerability.
