    The proposed bill is called the ELON MUSK Act, which stands for Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy

    As government acronyms go, that’s not even that tortured.

    So, he’s gonna return the billions he and his corps have received?

    No.

    Also, as elon is himself a very special employee, …

    Anyway. More idiocy and desctraction and double plus ungood newsspeak to confuse, conflate, and cover for the real shit going down as we all debate.

      If anything that’s how they’re gonna get the feds to buy in to the Fash – they can only speak in acronyms

        Well it didn’t work because I had to open the article to find out that ELON MUSK is meant to be an acronym.

      Not the acronyms, more laws! To stop the people who are violating the constitution… Hey really quick which branch ensures the faithful execution of laws?

    Not sure about the strategy of naming it after one guy. It’s a wider problem and it plays into the victimhood narrative the MAGA cunts like to wallow in.

      Elon Musk is important to target. He’s not beloved, he’s constantly in the news, and he’s a perfect encapsulation of the undue power being given to the ultra rich.

      And frankly no one needs to care whether something stimulates MAGA counts. They’re always going to be at max simulation and won’t be swayed because we accounted for their feelings.

      Regular people, on the other hand, don’t give a shit if an individual ultra wealthy and obnoxious man gets personally targeted while he’s actively messing around with the government. He’s a fantastic target just chock full of personality traits that kill sympathy.
