The time to Resist is now

It's time to resist, to reenact the late 60's regarding Nam and map it to 2025 and the administration from hell including Musk, the self appointed president of a once great nation known as America. As a vet and citizen who gets SS, the anger I feel, along with millions of Americans, is through the roof as the very existence of our nation is at stake. Something has to be done and now. I have some suggestions that will take care of the problem but will not suggest as the desired solutions are not fit for public consumption.

Not every C.E.O. can do this

After he left the Pentagon, Musk turned to X to promise vengeance against people who damage Tesla vehicles in protest. My colleague Kate Conger, who is tracking how he uses his account as a megaphone, explains.

The posts — like much of what Musk does now — raised questions about his government role and how it intersects with his position as the leader of several major companies. While plenty of business leaders might demand an investigation into property destruction at their company, Musk may actually be able to influence law enforcement so that it prosecutes Tesla protesters.

It’s a level of power other executives simply don’t have. But Musk, through his proximity to the president, commands the extraordinary ability to issue federal directives, like demanding that federal workers send a weekly list of their accomplishments or that they return to a federal office instead of working from home.

Musk also re-shared a message from Trump that said “terrorists” had attacked Tesla. “I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla,” Trump had written.

And Musk posted a video in which he said, “If you read the news, it feels like, you know, Armageddon. I can’t walk past the TV without seeing a Tesla on fire,” and he re-shared other posts calling for investigations into the funders of protests against Tesla.

Musk also called for investigations into whistle-blowers who had leaked information about his Pentagon visit. “They will be found,” he wrote.

As Lt. Frank Slade says in Scent of a Woman, This is such a crock of shit!

The time to resist is now.
