Sure, some representatives are wondering. And look, there’s a tactical value in thinking about how to not push Musk back into Trump’s arms. Sure, think about those things.
But Musk is about as close to unforgivable as one can be.
316,000 excess deaths, mostly children, from his likely-drug-fueled, completely unnecessary DOGE-ing of USAID. 100+ deaths a minute still counting. And he did it because he can’t care enough about those lives to control his impulses enough to even think about what he is doing. Or putting Trump in the White House in the first place with his money, which by the way is the total yearly life-monetary value of roughly 5,000 people (using a 50k basic living salary for reference).
He can try to atone for his whole life (and should), but he won’t get close.

Videos of protestors getting abused are his favorite, apparently. One top one is police firing gas into apparently peaceful protestors. The protestor kicks it back, walks back and is just standing there doing nothing threatening, and then apparently gets shot with a rubber(?) bullet and lies motionless for a moment before someone picks him up and he walks off. The caption this guy gave is “HOLY SH*T Perfect shot… 🤣🤣🤣”. Anti-LGBTQ posts feature as well. General concentrated bile into a convenient feed.
So I guess this “influencer” is what Gen Z is getting fed by algorithms and told is normal day-in and day-out?
