I'm sorry, but Rep Khanna is being too cute by half when it comes to working with Musk. On the heels of proposed drastic cuts to VA Healthcare, $119 Billion, Khanna comes out with tweets and says he's willing to work with Musk on cuts to the military. REP KHANNA: THE CUTS TO THE MILITARY THAT MUSK WANTS TO MAKE ARE NOT ELIMINATING $1000 HAMMERS BUT ELIMINATING SERVICES AND STAFF FOR VETERANS.

Khanna then follows that craven post with a QT saying that, OH! I got so much engagement on that so I know I'm on the right track. Either Khanna is ignorant of the engagement manipulation algorithm on X to boost pro-Musk content, or he does know and he's being intentionally obtuse to mask his capitulation to the incoming regime.

If he is so intent on simply being "in the room where it happens" and would push back on bad cuts, he should have said something about not signing off on cuts to veterans' healthcare. He did not. So pardon me if I don't believe that he's gonna fold like a cheap suit, or roll over and allow devastating cuts to our safety nets with whispered milquetoast objections. If Khanna's capitulating now with conciliatory talk even before Trump takes office and starts destroying America, he's aiding and abetting and normalizing no matter how much he protests that he's not doing it.

Am I wrong and if so WHY?
