Let’s not sugarcoat it: Donald Trump is acting like a puppet, and Elon Musk is pulling the strings. While Trump plays with toy planes in the Oval Office, Musk is making real decisions that are devastating the country with Trump’s go-ahead. In my recent interview with Congressman Robert Garcia, we broke down the chaos unfolding under Trump’s so-called leadership/
Mass resignations are happening across the federal government—first at the Department of Justice, now within the U.S. Digital Service. Why? Because career public servants are refusing to break their oath to the Constitution just to serve Trump and Musk’s destructive agenda. These are the people who actually keep the government running, but they’re being pushed out in droves, replaced with Musk’s tech bros and cronies who are dismantling essential services.
Garcia put it bluntly: Elon Musk is effectively the president. Trump, too lazy or too compromised to do the job himself, has handed over control to Musk, who is using his unchecked power to slash government programs, gut regulations, and line his own pockets with massive tax breaks. And yet, Musk still won’t testify before Congress to explain what the hell he’s doing. He’s a coward, protected by the same Republican politicians who claim to care about accountability but bow down to their billionaire overlord the second he snaps his fingers.
And the American people? We’re the ones paying the price. If your 401(k) is tanking, if you or someone you know has lost their job, if you’re worried about losing healthcare or education funding, if you see the country slipping into a dystopian nightmare—it’s not just happening to you. It’s happening to all of us. Even Republican voters are showing up at town halls demanding answers, furious at the destruction Musk and Trump are causing.
So what do we do? We fight. We don’t cower. We don’t back down. Congressman Garcia is standing up to this insanity, calling out the corruption at the highest levels. And so should we. The billionaire takeover of our government isn’t some far-off conspiracy—it’s happening right in front of us. The only question is: Are we going to let them get away with it? I know this community won’t.
