Felon Muck thinks he bought and now owns OUR federal government [View all]

I don't know about you guys, but my taxes going to the CDC means I OWN our government's world-class epidemiology and disease-fighting arm. We OWN the FAA and the Flight Safety. We OWN the agencies who keep our nuclear arms safe. We OWN the treasury and the safe data-keeping within. We OWN the Department of Education. We pay for it, Congress who we elect points the money to the right places, and in return we get a safe and relatively functioning society. We OWN that society. We OWN that safety.

Musk is like a guy who comes into your house and sells your car to someone else, sells your home security system, kills your pets, eats your food, and pockets your cash. He doesn't OWN our federal government, and it is far past time for him to get his fucking hands off of it. How DARE he steal our civilization from us? He isn't a vulture capitalist who bought and owns our government. He is a vulture capitalist who bought and owns a minority party.
