The economy shrinkSocial programs shortened or restricted. And international help is with devastating consequences shortened. Musk and the so -called Department of Government Efficiency (Dog) A terrifying many people.

“You want to kill me”
Later on this day Musk appeared on “Fox News” and discussed one Series of protests as well as about attacks and vandalism against Tesla vehicles and dealers. He claimed that this would happen because he and Doge would uncover fraud.
“It turns out that people are very upset if you take away the money that they get in a fraudulent way. And they basically want to kill me. Because I stop their fraud. And they want to harm Tesla.

“It’s a shock for me”
At a point of the interview, Elon Musk demanded – the recent had threatened to have every federal employee To dismiss, which ignores his emails from the HR department-more empathy from the Democrats in the face of the attacks on Tesla. “It is really a shock for me that there is this measure of hatred and violence from the left,” he said to Sean Hannity. “I thought the left Democrats should be the party of compassion. The party of the care, and yet they burn down cars. They set fire to car dealerships with balls on car dealerships.”
He continued: “Tesla is a peaceful company. We have never done anything harmful. I have never done anything harmful. I only did productive things. So I think we are simply disturbed. This is about a kind of mental illness, because that doesn’t make sense.”

Choir of boos and ridicule
MP Mike Flood (R-Neb.) Was in a town hall in his home district of angry voters on Tuesday with questions confronted. Among other things about the interest conflicts of Elon Musk. Musk’s company SpaceX has received orders in billions of billions from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The Trump government strive forStarlink, Musks satellite internet business, in the to integrate the entire federal government.
“How do you get that [Musk] has no conflict of interest? “Asked a person Flood.” Do you think he would shorten it before he would shorten our Medicare, our social security or our jobs? “
Flood replied that he continued to support “Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency”. The hall then broke out into a choir from boos and ridicule against the MP from Nebraska.
Flood is not the only MP who faces angry voters. Early this month the National Republican Congressional Committee advised the members of the Republican Party Even not to stop citizen meetings. The party leadership of the Republicans accused the critics – as is common today – to be paid demonstrators. To invalidate the concerns of their voters. Musk has capitalized from this accusation.
“There are also bigger forces at work,” he said to Hannity on Tuesday when he spoke about the Tesla attacks and protests. “I don’t know who finances this. Wer coordinates that. Because that’s crazy. I’ve never seen anything like this.”
Hannity complained that the people who worked for Tesla could “lose their jobs”. However, neither he nor musk wasted a compassionate thought of the thousands of Americans who have made Doge unemployed in the past two months, and the potentially devastating national and international effects of his corrupt political project.
