Summary
Elon Musk, serving as “Co-President” under Donald Trump, proposed eliminating all federal regulations by default, arguing they restrict freedom.
In a leaked call with Republican lawmakers, including Senators Joni Ernst and Mike Lee, Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy saw Trump’s second term and a conservative Supreme Court as a unique chance to deregulate government permanently.
Critics argue such actions would be unconstitutional and dangerous, risking public health and safety.
Ernst later defended the plan on Fox News, calling it necessary “disruption.”
For every regulation that applies to you as a regular citizen there’s probably 500 that apply to businesses. Musk is doing it for himself.
I imagine Musk is far too big of a pussy to actually abolish all Federal regulations. And if he does I’m installing an auto sear, a suppressor, a short barrel, and a pistol brace all on my gun at once. It’ll only take a couple of us doing that for you to see the fastest U-turn on that idea in history.
I can only imagine that the intent is to leave all of the regulations that restrict personal individual freedom in place and just gut all the ones preventing big businesses from exploiting you however they want. Or maybe just specifically the ones that are holding Musk’s own enterprises back, which is even more plausible.
Full auto baby, me too. The fucking minute it’s legal.
I am having my buddy machine glock switches that I will sell on EBay if they do that. We will make a killing in the first couple weeks before the market gets saturated.
