Herr Musk suggests that most of Gov should be privatized... to profit companies like his own.
Private schools, prisons, 'social security', health care.... police fire emt are next.
If you want to know how all that generally werks out, read about United Healthcare. And how all it's similar privatized Medicare industry is a complete SCAM on both users and taxpayers.

Laughing.
These troglodytes like this crap.
And they especially like it that it disturbs thinking, compassionate, human beings - something they loathe.
Hate is their shinning light.

Oh it's beginning to look a lot like Russia.. Everywhere you go Take a look at the fixed news, it's glistening once again With maga brains and Elmo shames that glow
It's beginning to look a lot like Russia
Maga in every store But the prettiest sight to see is the Feds that will be Banging your own front door
A pair of jack thug boots and a pistol that really shoots Is the wish of Shady and Pete AI that'll talk and will go for a walk Is the hope of Elmo and Bill And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for the Purge to start again ...
Oh it's beginning to look a lot like Russia..

Shorting tesla stock is the best way to punish elon for his massive support of fascism right now. The momentum is building. Or just buy TSLQ which is an 2x inverse of the stock. The P/E ratio is like 180. That's insane. Most car companies are like 6. Google is like 30. This has a long way to collapse and people are going to get rich as it does. You too can profit off the collapse of your society, like musk and trump do.
This is not investment advice. This is activism that could earn you money.
Of course that all might be prevented if musk comes up with some new uber level of corruption with trump to keep the stock artificially inflated. Maybe he announces tesla will become a defense contractor - building the drones to obey the fascist commands that humans would refuse to obey.

Hmmm? Privatize the USPS? So delivering the mail would now be based on profit? So, the corporation that owns it would dutifully (duty to stock holders not cirizens) make decisions to increase profits like: 1. Raising the price of postage dramatically. 2. Eliminating millions of addresses that don't handle enough volume to generated enough money in postage to pay for all the salaries rents, vehicles, etc. required to deliver the mail. Proof? Ask Jeff Bezos why Amazon relies on the USPS to deliver millions of "free delivery" packages every day? Amazon's "free deliveries" are only possible because USPS is doing most of those deliveries, and quite well BTW. If the Prime delivery drivers had to find every address as the USPS does, every day, "free delivery" would disappear from our consciousness. Americans need to wake up! Ego Musk is not trying to save tax dollars, he's trying to eliminate government services or privatize them. If there is no profit then they will eliminste it. Do you have any idea how many old people are living in assisted living homes paid for by Medicaid? So, when that egomaniac slashes Medicaid he'll be dumping elderly people with nowhere else to go into the street. And don't blame their kids who are struggling to pay their rent on a one bedroom apartment. Blame "the richest nan in the world" who thinks he has to pay too much in taxes or, more accurately, Vladimir Putin, who wants to destroy our living standard because, just like successful Ukraine, it creates jealousy and then unrest, in Russia. Question: What's worse than having a traitor in the White House? Answer: Having two taitors in the White House!

U.S. Constitution - something Musk, that foreign POS never read, states clearly in Section 8:
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; ... To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
