DoomsdaysCW<p>We all know what happened to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RomanEmpire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RomanEmpire</span></a> when they started to f*ck over veterans...!</p><p>Who Will Pay for The Damage That <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> Has Done to Our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Veterans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Veterans</span></a>? </p><p>Reports are starting to show that DOGE has cost the federal government far more than it has saved. Will anyone ever be held accountable?</p><p>by Michael Embrich, April 21, 2025</p><p>"Lives ruined. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GIBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GIBill</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mortgages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mortgages</span></a> heading into default, mass firings of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/veterans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>veterans</span></a> across the government, and 80,000 job cuts coming to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, all in the name of supposed cost savings sought by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. But a new U.S. Treasury Department report shows that the Trump administration has spent $155 billion more than Joe Biden at the same point in his presidency.</p><p>"DOGE claims to have saved the government $150 billion, which most experts doubt. Even if you accept their own dubious accounting, the grand total of savings to the federal government under Donald Trump amounts to negative $5 billion.</p><p>"As the MAGA faithful make their plans for the $5,000 DOGE refund checks that will never come, the reality is that Trump and Musk have ruined the lives of countless veterans and will destroy the lives of countless more — all for the sake of throwing red meat to their Truth Social and X internet flunkies. </p><p>"When all is said and done — when the veteran suicide rate spikes, and when American taxpayers are burdened with billions in defaulted VA loans from fired veteran and disabled veteran federal employees — will anyone from the Trump administration or Musk be held accountable? I’m not counting on it. But if no one is held accountable for this absolute crime committed on the backs of our nation’s veterans, why would any American ever raise their hand to serve their government again, knowing they could be treated so poorly and so callously?</p><p>"As Musk gets trolled in his video game chat rooms for being the epic loser that he is, Musk can always just rage quit, shut the game off, and go spend his vast fortune alone. But for the many veterans he has destroyed and the other federal employees who support veterans, whom he mocked by quoting the movie Office Space, it won’t be so easy. They will need to start over. They will need to find new jobs. They will lose it all, further hurting the American economy that Musk’s boss is currently destroying.</p><p>"Democrat or Republican, you should go to jail if you break campaign finance laws. Make the Supreme Court jump through hoops. If they bring down another Citizens United ruling, Congress can just draft new legislation with different wording. Show them all that we will not stand for billionaires hijacking democracy.</p><p>"Elected leaders, if you really care about America and you really care about veterans, now is the time to risk it all, even your office, for democracy. If you can’t see that, then we don’t deserve democracy, and no one will ever be held accountable for the heinous crimes they have committed against our most esteemed citizens, our veterans." </p><p>Original article:<br><a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/trump-musk-veterans-doge-damage-health-jobs-1235321600/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">rollingstone.com/politics/poli</span><span class="invisible">tical-commentary/trump-musk-veterans-doge-damage-health-jobs-1235321600/</span></a></p><p>Archived version:<br><a href="https://archive.ph/6tQTx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/6tQTx</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RomanEmpire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RomanEmpire</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BadDOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BadDOGE</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CharacteristicsOfFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RespectOurVets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RespectOurVets</span></a></p>

The nationwide Hands Off protests felt like a collective decision to stop doomscrolling and start coming together against our country’s lurch toward authoritarianism. The next step is to turn the crowds, speeches, and witty signs into a powerful force with a clear and systematic plan for breaking Trump’s dark vision for our future. </p><p>"While Trump possesses the formal authority of the federal government, history is full of examples in which an angry public can bring all of that crashing down by moving from passive acceptance to active opposition. At present, the path to that decisive future may seem hard to discern. But there are already networks of resistance that have shown early signs of success, and the 'Tesla Takedown' movement stands at the top of that list. </p><p>"By protesting Tesla dealerships across the U.S., the grassroots campaign has ripped a hole in the wealth of Trump’s most supportive oligarch: Elon Musk. In doing so, the movement has demonstrated that America’s financial and corporate elites are far more vulnerable than they would have us believe. Tesla Takedown organizers have described a powerful surge of activism that combines deep opposition to both Musk and Trump with a sense of community and even joy. 'There’s this bond of being with people who share your love of democracy, decency, and the rule of law,' said retired Colby College history professor Elizabeth Leonard, who organizes Tesla Takedown protests in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WatervilleME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WatervilleME</span></a>. <br> <br>"Thanks to the Tesla Takedown movement and the broad anti-Musk revulsion that activists have channeled, Musk’s political and commercial fortunes appear to be in decline. He is still the world’s wealthiest man, but he has lost his air of invincibility and increasingly looks like a stumbling buffoon. His political intervention in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race backfired spectacularly, with a state that previously voted for Trump in 2024 by a 1 percent margin electing the Democratic Supreme Court candidate by a whopping 10 percentage points. Tesla stock has dropped some 40 percent since the start of the year, erasing $135 billion in Musk’s wealth. And following Musk’s toxic interventions in U.S. politics, Trump has reportedly said that Musk will be stepping back from his public White House role.</p><p>"Through its victories, the Tesla Takedown community has revealed a major vulnerability of the Trump regime. Many of the oligarchic elites who back Trump’s agenda get their wealth from the very public whose broad interests Trump is now attacking. Tesla, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Meta</span></a>, and other companies depend on the American populace for their profits, even as their owners have lent their support to Trump’s unpopular right-wing agenda, which is squeezing the material wealth and rights of the American people. When activists connect these dots through compelling campaigns, they can hold Trump’s oligarchic enablers directly accountable by draining their wealth.<br>Tesla itself is now in a downward slide that could mark the early stages of an death spiral — or at least a significant reassessment by investors who have treated Tesla as something far bigger than simply a car company. Sales continue to decline across the U.S. and Europe, with 2025 first quarter numbers showing a 13 percent drop. Meanwhile, major Chinese electric vehicle competitor BYD reported a 60 percent increase in sales during the same period.<br>In response to the anti-Tesla backlash, Musk embarked on a dubious right-wing outreach strategy that will only further alienate his original climate-conscious customer base. First, he had Trump turn the White House into a Tesla dealership. Then came the public support of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightWing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RightWing</span></a> voices, including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> supporters, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteSupremacist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteSupremacist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Proud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Proud</span></a> Boys, and militia groups. It seems '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Swasticar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Swasticar</span></a>' is no longer just a meme. </p><p>"The success of the Tesla Takedown movement opens the door to the question of what comes next. Can the movement take on more of Musk’s wealth — including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SpaceX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpaceX</span></a>? Can protesters leverage their momentum to go after a wider range of targets, including the other oligarchs who have backed Trump? Will the anti-Musk community translate its ability to capture headlines into direct pressure on the political system itself? By broadening the attack on Musk’s interests and targeting more Trump-supporting oligarchs, the Tesla Takedown movement can help bring an end to Trump’s authoritarian policies."</p><p>cc: <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/teslatakedown" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>teslatakedown</span></a></span> </p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://theintercept.com/2025/04/13/elon-musk-tesla-takedown-protests/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theintercept.com/2025/04/13/el</span><span class="invisible">on-musk-tesla-takedown-protests/</span></a></p><p>Archived version:<br><a href="https://archive.ph/ezYM9" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/ezYM9</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BadDOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BadDOGE</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElonMusk</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Coporatocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Coporatocracy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kleptocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kleptocracy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Resistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Resistance</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FundLibrariesNotSpaceX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FundLibrariesNotSpaceX</span></a></p>
