Don't worry. Musk is already sending his people from SpaceX to help solve the problems. And in the process kick competition (Verizon) from a 2.4B$ contract and secure it for SpaceX. But that's normal, there is no conflict of interest as he's not DOGE chief, Amy Gleason is. Why it was Musk then than run the first Cabinet meeting ? One has to wonder. I'm at a loss of words frankly about what's happening in the USA. This Trump idea about selling citizenship for 5M$ may actually be good - you bet Russian Oligarchs are salivating - this kind of blantant corruption was hard to achieve even in the early post-URSS Russia.

"I'm at a loss of words frankly about what's happening in the USA" If you need inspiration, try imagining how this debacle would be portrayed by US media if it happened elsewhere in the planet: a populist buffoon propped by and quickly funnelling government money to oligarchs. "Banana republic", "third-world country" and "failed state" are adjectives that I've seen more than once in similar circumstances.

  But that's impossible in the US. We have a Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Our government cowers in fear of our well armed populace and would never dare step out of line, because if they did, we would surely water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants. You must simply be mistaken, lbrito. Everything is fine. Nothing to see here.
