If Musk had Trump's permission to do this, that's scary. If Musk doesn't have Trump's permission, and is going rouge, that's scary.

I'll say it again...Musk is the fly in the Chardonney. And keep in mind this is only their 2nd week. If this doesn't give you the heebie-jeebies, just wait...no doubt they'll start tinkering with some aspect of your life you DO care about.

Finally! A plan to bring down the cost of eggs, gas and groceries?

Oh? It's not? My bad.
