Musk responded to Walz’s joke on X, highlighting the contrast in their reactions to perceived setbacks. Tesla’s stock decline is largely attributed to investor concerns stemming from Musk’s controversial political actions and statements.

Musk’s access to highly classified US war plans concerning a potential conflict with China is deeply unsettling. The sheer audacity of granting such sensitive information to a private citizen, let alone one with Elon Musk’s controversial history and extensive business ties to China, raises serious national security concerns. This decision completely bypasses standard vetting procedures, raising questions about the integrity of our security processes and the judgment of those involved.
The lack of a proper background check is particularly alarming, given well-documented concerns regarding Musk’s past substance use. This raises significant questions about the competence and potential vulnerabilities within the government’s security apparatus.… Continue reading

A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order preventing Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing Social Security Administration (SSA) data containing personally identifiable information (PII). Judge Hollander’s ruling condemned DOGE’s actions as a “fishing expedition” lacking justification for accessing such sensitive data. The order prohibits the SSA from granting DOGE access to PII, which includes a wide range of personal information, and mandates the deletion of any already obtained non-anonymized PII. The judge highlighted the hypocrisy of DOGE concealing its affiliates’ identities while disregarding the privacy of millions whose SSA records were accessed.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, echoing President Trump’s tactics, criticized Elon Musk’s immigrant background and financial contributions to a Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate, referring to him with derogatory terms like “dip****” and “South African repo baby.” This mirrors similar attacks from other Democrats, highlighting Musk’s South African origins and questioning his loyalty to the U.S. The attacks contrast with Trump’s typical focus on elected officials of color, instead targeting one of the world’s wealthiest individuals. The controversy underscores the increasingly partisan use of immigration status in political discourse.

Elon Musk’s attempts to portray himself as a victim of “cancel culture” and a MAGA martyr have spectacularly backfired. His public displays, including mimicking a Nazi salute and being booed at a Dave Chappelle show, have alienated even right-wing supporters. Furthermore, a surge of anti-Tesla sentiment, fueled by Musk’s actions and controversial statements, is impacting the company’s stock and sales. This failure to garner sympathy, even within the right-wing media ecosystem, highlights Musk’s inability to convincingly play the victim role and ironically underscores Trump’s lack of concern for the working class.

Musk characterized Tesla as a peaceful company and himself as a victim of a coordinated campaign fueled by those who profit from government corruption. Law enforcement agencies, including the Justice Department, are actively investigating these incidents, which have involved arson, gunfire, and other forms of property damage, even labeling some actions as domestic terrorism. The protests, originating on a rival social media platform, have encouraged Tesla owners to divest themselves of their vehicles and stock.
