Trump And Musk Whine To Sean Hannity: The Big Bad Media Is Trying To ‘Drive Us Apart’

Fascist-in-Chief Donald Trump and unelected POTUS Elon Musk are upset because they say the media is attempting to drive them apart at a time when their mutual admiration for each other is at its zenith.

The two grifters sat down with Sean Hannity of Fox “News” and went on an extended whine-a-thon when the host asked them, “You’re both aware, you have to be keenly aware that the media and the punditry class – I think you’ve proven they have no power anymore because they threw everything they had at you and they didn’t win. And that was, you know, The New York Times, Washington Post, three networks, every late-night comedy show to cable channels.”

“They just, they threw everything. Lawfare, weaponization. And now I see They want you two – they want a divorce. They want you two to start hating each other. And they try. Oh, President Elon Musk, for example. You do know that they’re doing that to you?”

“I see it all the time. They tried it. Then they stopped. They have many different things of hatred,” Trump complained. “Actually, Elon called me. He said, you know, they’re trying to drive us apart. I said, absolutely. No, they said, We have breaking news. Donald Trump has ceded control of the presidency to Elon Musk. President Musk will be attending a cabinet meeting tonight at eight o’clock. And I say, it’s just so obvious. There’s so bad at it. I used to think they were good at it. They’re actually bad at it because if they were good at it, I’d never be president.”

“Because I think nobody in history has ever gotten more bad publicity than me. I could do the greatest things. I get 98% bad publicity I could do outside of you. Few of your very good friends, Right? It’s like the craziest thing. But you know what I have learned, Elon? The people are smart. They get it.”

“Yeah, they do, actually,” Musk agreed.

Trump: “They get it.”

Musk: “Yeah.”

“They really see what’s happening,” according to Trump, which prompted Musk to again concur, “Yeah.”

There’s an old saying attributed to former president Harry Truman that Trump and Musk should consider before they start whining again: If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Donald and Elon should get the hell out of Washington, DC and go back to doing what they do best: Being assholes and grifters.

Your Tax Refund Could Be Delayed Indefinitely Because Elon Musk Is ‘Auditing’ The IRS

Almost two-thirds of American taxpayers receive a tax refund from the Internal Revenue Service each year, but those cherished refund checks could wind up being delayed this year thanks to Elon Musk, chairman of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Why? Because Musk and his cadre of young computer nerds who assist him at DOGE are currently “auditing” the IRS, and that could spell problems for anyone waiting on a refund.

“The Trump administration and Musk’s DOGE, which the president has tapped to shrink the size of the federal government, have been cutting thousands of federal jobs in the past few weeks. DOGE, which recently faced widespread condemnation for its unfettered access to sensitive documents, is now ready to review the IRS operations after President Donald Trump authorized its audit on Thursday,” Newsweek reports.

DOGE member Gavin Kliger was seen at the IRS on Thursday.

“An IRS employee told The Wall Street Journal that Kliger seemed interested in the agency’s headcount and asked for meetings with senior IRS officials. The agency, in the midst of the busiest time of tax filing season, has about 100,000 workers.”

The fact that Musk’s associates are now meddling around inside the IRS isn’t sitting well with some in Washington. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) complained, “My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk’s henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.”

Could Musk and his henchmen close the IRS altogether? Grifter-in-Chief Trump had this to say when asked: “No, I don’t expect it. But I think the Internal Revenue Service will be looked at like everybody else. Just about everybody is going to be looked at.”

Considering that both Musk and Trump are known for being monumental fuck-ups, you might want to wait on any major purchases until you’re certain that anticipated tax return is credited to your account.

Congressman Warns: Musk Has ‘Hacked Into Our Payment Systems’ To ‘Become The First Trillionaire’

Since he helped Donald Trump become president with a $250 million infusion of campaign cash, Tesla/Twitter CEO Elon Musk has seen his wealth skyrocket, and could soon become the world’s first trillionaire.

But there’s one major problem with Musk’s goal of reaching trillionaire status, according to Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH): He may well be stealing directly from American taxpayers.

Appearing on CNN, Landsman explained, “Well, there’s a couple of things. One is the Congress is supposed to step up and check the the executive. That’s, you know, that’s how the Constitution was set up, and so, you know, public opinion has to shift and Democrats are going to, you know, obviously play a role in shifting public opinion to make sure that people understand what’s going on here so that they start to call their Republican members of Congress because they’re in charge of the United States Congress, and Congress is supposed to check the executive and put guardrails in place.”

At the moment, however, Landsman continued, Musk is being allowed to do whatever he wants by Trump and congressional Republicans.

“What you’re seeing in Elon Musk is not just the world’s richest man, but he is trying to become the first trillionaire ever. He has, by being empowered by Trump, hacked into our data system, hacked into our payment systems, and is purging the federal government. He stands to make so much money. He already has made, you know, billions, tens of billions of dollars on federal contracts, and the markets know this, and so his ability to get inside and create this kind of chaos and move money, potentially to him and to his companies, will result in him and his net worth going up even higher. “

“So now the American people are dealing with higher prices and the kind of political corruption, potentially, that is incredibly damaging, and so, you know, for Democrats, they have to be or we have to be very clear about what’s happening,” the congressman added.

Elon Musk is an existential threat to the United States and the world. He needs to be investigated and put on trial if it can be proven that he has broken any laws. While you and I are trying to make ends meet, he’s gleefully raiding the U.S. Treasury for his own benefit. If he isn’t stopped, this country will face the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression.

Concern And Outrage After Trump Admits Elon Musk May Be Violating Privacy Laws

Comments made Friday by Felon-in-Chief Donald Trump during a press conference could soon come back to haunt the administration and its Chief Officer of Government Destruction, Elon Musk.

Trump was asked by a Fox News reporter if Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) need unfettered access to the private information stored on government computers. That information includes medical records, bank accounts, and other private data that is supposed to be kept securely by the government.

“Well, it doesn’t, but they get it easily. I mean, we don’t have very good security in this country and they get it very easily,” Trump replied.

Trump’s remarks came just hours after the Washington Post reported that a handpicked Musk associate is now in control of the Treasury payment system that disperses Social Security checks, Medicare payments, and tax refunds.

“The decision puts Musk’s DOGE in a potential position to make sweeping changes to the federal budget, with implications for tens of millions of Americans,” the Post report notes. “The payment system, run by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, contains sensitive taxpayer information, and some former Treasury officials have expressed concerns about granting access to individuals with private business interests. The move has also touched off broad alarm within the Treasury Department, the people said.”

“This is the bureau designed to be run by a career, nonpolitical person, but being taken over by a member of DOGE,” said Aaron Klein, a former Treasury Department official now at the Brookings Institution, a D.C. think tank. “It’s pretty scary — the Fiscal Service is the bureau of the people who cut the checks. They don’t determine who gets the checks. And the data that goes through this is of massive national security consequences.”

And now we have Trump suggesting that it was easy for Musk and his associates to get into that payment system and the private information it contains because security isn’t very good. Is that supposed to make us feel better? Are we supposed to trust Elon Musk with our credit reports, medical records, and other private data?

Trump’s comments set off a firestorm of anger and concern online.

Using Trump’s so-called “logic,” does this mean we all have the right to steal other people’s credit and debit card PINs and charge things on their bank accounts? After all, it’s easy to look over someone’s shoulder and see what numbers they’re punching into the keypad. If we do that, will the Justice Department still charge us with a crime, or will the “Musk rules” be applied to us so we can get away with highway robbery?

Holy shit we are so damn fucked.

Musk Associate Can Now Deny Tax Refunds And Halt Social Security Payments

Expecting a tax return this year? Or are you a Social Security recipient? If you’re either and expecting federal funds from the Treasury Department, you may soon be disappointed and destitute because a close personal associate of Tesla/Twitter CEO Elon Musk is now deciding who does and doesn’t get paid.

Silicon Valley executive Tom Krause has been named financial assistant secretary of the Treasury Department, according to the Washington Post, replacing David Lebryk, who resigned rather than give a Musk ally so much power.

Krause will have absolute control over what’s known as the Bureau of Fiscal Service, which dispurses some $5 billion annually to programs such as Medicare, Social Security, tax refunds, and thousands of other programs, including some that Musk says should be terminated because he claims they’re illegal.

“The decision puts Musk’s DOGE in a potential position to make sweeping changes to the federal budget, with implications for tens of millions of Americans,” the Post notes. “The payment system, run by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, contains sensitive taxpayer information, and some former Treasury officials have expressed concerns about granting access to individuals with private business interests. The move has also touched off broad alarm within the Treasury Department, the people said.”

“This is the bureau designed to be run by a career, nonpolitical person, but being taken over by a member of DOGE,” said Aaron Klein, a former Treasury Department official now at the Brookings Institution, a D.C. think tank. “It’s pretty scary — the Fiscal Service is the bureau of the people who cut the checks. They don’t determine who gets the checks. And the data that goes through this is of massive national security consequences.”

So an unelected official who has not been approved by Congress can now determine whether or not you get the money you need to pay your bills every month. Did you vote for Kamala Harris or Joe Biden? That might be a disqualifying factor Tom Krause can use to keep you from getting your monthly check even though you worked for decades to earn your retirement income.

Then again, Musk might just decide that he needs your money more than you do and demand that Krause steer billions of taxpayer dollars into his business ventures such as the SpaceX rockets that explode more often than they launch successfully.

Scared yet? If not, you aren’t paying attention.
