Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's a trap.
They aren't rebelling.
They are setting them up for mass firings.

Curtis Yarvin - the man whose ideas fuel the techno fascist future.
Yes, and he’s referring to Musk.

What an utterly INSANE statement.
That's the best part. All of these oligarchs are DEEPLY mentally ill.
Not in an "eccentric" kind of way. In a narcissistic and psychopathic kind of way. They're a danger to society.
They really ought to be treated as such. True dangers to society. Like a wild fire, or a plague, or a serial killer. Like a pack of rabid dogs. Uncontrollable, unpredictable, untrustworthy, and HUNGRY.
That's probably one of the least insane things Yarvin has said....
In general sure, but I don't think so in this particular case. I really don't think this one was that planned out considering they also sent these to judges who aren't part of the executive branch at all (probably just because they have a .gov email). Many people in Trump's admin have been reportedly finding out critical info via tweet, so the level of coordination here is often not high. In the actual email, there is no remark about "not firing equals resigning" (that's only what musk said on twitter) and their legal filings for privacy & security stuff claim that responding to all the mass opm emails is optional.
Given Musk's ego, I doubt he'd design something that makes him look weak like this.
