> Declaring it a 'coup' is as silly as when Trump lost in 2020 and declared it a 'rigged election.'

Call it whatever you want, the fact of the matter is that you have an unelected private person, who happens to be the richest person on earth, taking control of federal agencies. I don't think anyone should consider this silly, as nobody thought it was silly when MAGA tried to actually stage a literal coup by force 4 years ago.

> You don't win by insulting, by dunking on the other guys on ~Twitter~

The last years have made it very clear that's exactly how you win. You seem to be under the impression that the democrats, not MAGAs, are unhinged in their rhetoric.






The only elected members of the executive branch are the President and VP. The president is employing Musk. Your claims of him being unelected is irrelevant.

Valerie Jarret was UNELECTED. OMG OMG /s

See how dumb it sounds?
