So Now We Have a "Co-president" and my Thoughts on it

Yes, I am back on Musk's case. I can't stay quiet. Elon Musk did a press conference yesterday (I think) standing dominantly over Trump while Monk's young son sat near him picking his nose. He said, when asked how he felt about what the media was calling his illegal takeover, that the public has mandated this. What a lie! He feels he is being very transparent. To whom? Trump? Transparency is what builds trust he says. So let's see some. What a beautiful lesson in gaslighting. Let's see if these news conferences continue and if he is really TRANSPARENT. Musk has access to over fifteen departments. The agencies that are targeting his companies are some of the ones experiencing disruptions. That's not right. He has $13 billion worth of federal contracts. To me, that is a firm conflict of interest and he should not have this much power and be allowed access to these agencies to do who knows what. Some of the more long-term employees that were in these agencies for decades could have been left at least for a white to make it feel more realistic to the public. I really think that his being put in the position he has been put in could have been handled much better. He was originally supposed to co-head the D.O.G.E. with Marjorie Taylor Greene. She just started in her capacity yesterday. He has been there for weeks. I think that maybe Trump does want to reconstruct our government. That perhaps he does want to see some good be done. But, he is going about it in a very illegal, authoritarian, and inhumane way. He needs to learn diplomacy and the rule of law. He and his cronies are even saying that judges who are doing their jobs are corrupt because they aren't letting him do whatever he wants. Completely annihilating these departments may be one way to reconstruct but it can also hurt what those agencies and departments do for the public which is crucial to their lives. And, not even a low number of obstructions is not good. Your thoughts. The picture is from my collection.
