    So what you’re saying is, we need to tank every one of Musk’s companies.

    Several senior Office of Personnel Management (OPM) political appointees (…) have significant ties to Musk’s businesses, either holding large financial stakes in his companies or on a leave of absence from one of his enterprises.

    OPM sets government-wide human resources policies and has become one of the central hubs for Musk’s and the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) efforts inside the executive branch, such as sending federal workforce-wide emails questioning government employees about their accomplishments from prior weeks.

    If the corruption wasn’t so blatantly obvious anyhow one might call this a smoking gun.

      There is so much smoke, and so many guns, at this point, that is impossible to fucking see anything. Just blackness and the smell of cordite.

      Sadly my first thought was “this isn’t news, everyone knows this”.

        The whole thing (government takeover? Coup?) is a smoking gun.

        And if we ever get back from this, that will be their downfall. There’s no deniability, plausible or otherwise.
