Elon Musk proves you don't have to be a citizen of the United States in order to be the president of the United States.

Hey... he paid at least $300 million to buy Trump, so he's gotta make good on the investment.

And he'll likely turn those millions into trillions for... himself.

And do it on the back of average American workers who will be guaranteeing his investments, including Bitcoin.

More from the cited article ...

... The two officials, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, said some senior career employees at OPM have had their access revoked to some of the department's data systems.

The systems include a vast database called Enterprise Human Resources Integration, which contains dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades and length of service of government workers, the officials said.

"We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems," one of the officials said. "That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications." ...

So, what might Mr Musk be doing to that data to benefit Pres Trump?

Oh, wait, there is no oversight, so we don't know.

And why isn't anyone being arrested for this?

Oh yeah, Agent Orange is also in the middle of destroying the FBI. Never mind.

Because Musk bought Trump and is now in control of the government.

I must say that my predictions have been correct. The only way I was incorrect was in the speed in which the destruction is being wrought.

The magnitude of the destruction completed in less than 2 weeks is staggering.

Magat scum cannot conceive of the damage that is being done, if they did, even THEY might care. ------- won't live forever.

Do they realize that they are being set up to accept the removal of the majority if not all of the social safety net? Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Veteran's benefits?

What is being done will lead to economic collapse if it is not restrained. Look at the stock market since he took office! At least 2 hits-one for the China announcement of DeepSeek and the other on tariffs.

This chaos is unsustainable and it has barely begun.

Wake the ---- up people. Your future is at stake

---------- falls into the category of evil nihilist ---------.

People like him are so blinded by hatred that owning the libs gives them the jollies while our nation collapses.

Basic human decency is evil to them (that is how boaz characterized treating trans with respect-evil) ---------- is of that mindset.

A troll with no soul, no humanity, full of hate for those around him.

But ---------- and his ilk should be listening to me. I have been right all along. I usually am.

---------- and his ilk will not like where our country goes.

Yeah, and Treasury Secretary, Bessent, went ahead and gave him full access.

This is a cybersecurity nightmare. There can be no recovery from that, now that Bessent handed him the keys. I wouldn't doubt that Moscow has access already.

Just a little perspective by the by

It is HIGHLY likely that one of the primary reasons for going after ------- and his stolen documents was the loss of numerous informants that was reported in October 2021. I have a strong suspicion that the true motivation for pursuing ------- so vigorously was because the intelligence agencies had intel that ------- was sharing intel with out adversaries.

This seems unlawful, nobody elected Elmo or his employees. How is this happening?

No need to get elected if you can just buy your way in.

"Lawful and unlawful are meaningless words now"

Musk's Nazi salute told the whole story; Americans either recognized it for what it meant the day he did it or they will slowly figure it out over the next four years. These days I am getting many desperate pleas for help from Democrats who see the mid-term elections as our only hope to save our democracy and I think I am quickly coming to the conclusion that they are right and that we are in an emergency and it is going to take a very unified and powerful Democratic Party to save America just like 1932!

Leon didn't just buy Trump - he got the whole US government to plunder for a measly $300 billion. Heckuva ganga.

Correction:

Leon bought the US government not for a measly $300 billion. Nope, Old Orange Julius is a cheap, tarted up date. The price so far revealed was a paltry $300 million.

So Duh'merica looks ------, unless someone in the military grows a pair and takes out the dual problem.
So where to retire next? SE Asia only works if China is held at bay. Will Musk and Trump even care to keep them in check anymore? I don't know what kind of hashish they are smoking where they wrote up this Project 2025, but it's pretty clear they didn't think of all of the ramifications of acting on their big plan. Europe?

Musk loves the pro-Nazi Afd party in Germany, praises criminal and racist Tommy Robinson, and loves the Nazi salute. That's fine. But according to him USAID which literally saves lives around the world is "evil" and a "criminal organization."

This is what you voted for, America.

Nah, we've already lost. fElon has full access to the places he targeted. Democrats shouldn't be thinking about 2 years out, the fight is now, and they're just standing by, watching it happen, wondering why people stopped joking about the cost of eggs. I mean, Hakeem Jeffries just posted that god is still on his throne or some s--t...and Schumer just sent out a message on Bluesky talking about how pizza is going to be expensive on Super Bowl Sunday. fElon's Freshman Computer Nerd Incel task force is actively, AND CURRENTLY, taking complete control of the Treasury Department computer systems (it has demographic and PII data for anyone that's worked for the federal government, anyone who has sent or received money to/from the federal government, anyone who is on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security or other federal pensions...you get the gist)!

If Democrats don't stop fElon's digital coup right now, who else will?

It's not up to just the Democrats.
I doubt there's a peaceful way to stop this at this point.

1) Arrest Musk, whisk him away to a black site.
2) Round up his minions, and determine what must be done with them.
3) Neuter Trump. I don't care how.
4) Purge Hegseth and some of the other toadies. This can be perfectly peaceful. Simple restraints.
IDK, just spitballing here. Probably better options?

Dang, that sounds like a coup, doesn't it?
How far we've fallen as a nation that that might be our only hope.
Trump's turned the US into one of those "Shhthole nations".
