How is this asshole so involved in our government….

He gets billions in contracts, he donates hundreds of millions to elections in order to gain political favor and more money

Not to mention he was in “charge” of DOGE which gutted tons of social services and oversight/regulations so that rich people can get richer….

Yeah it’s very obviously about money but it’s crazy one billionaire can have such an effect…

I suppose they usually are a little more behind the scenes but he has openly been gaining money and power in a way that is basically unprecedented but I suppose you can blame it also on the Un-President

He's getting billions and billions from contracts. He's "donating" small portions of it. They're taking tax dollars and using it to fund their own mis/disinformation campaigns.

People who have bought a tesla in the past 3 years are indifferent to democracy at best. At worst they are participating in destroying it.
