Rep. Robert Garcia on Elon Musk Pulling the Strings

The billionaire takeover of our government is no conspiracy—it’s happening in plain sight. Watch my exclusive interview with Congressman Robert Garcia.
187

Let’s not sugarcoat it: Donald Trump is acting like a puppet, and Elon Musk is pulling the strings. While Trump plays with toy planes in the Oval Office, Musk is making real decisions that are devastating the country with Trump’s go-ahead. In my recent interview with Congressman Robert Garcia, we broke down the chaos unfolding under Trump’s so-called leadership/

Mass resignations are happening across the federal government—first at the Department of Justice, now within the U.S. Digital Service. Why? Because career public servants are refusing to break their oath to the Constitution just to serve Trump and Musk’s destructive agenda. These are the people who actually keep the government running, but they’re being pushed out in droves, replaced with Musk’s tech bros and cronies who are dismantling essential services.

Garcia put it bluntly: Elon Musk is effectively the president. Trump, too lazy or too compromised to do the job himself, has handed over control to Musk, who is using his unchecked power to slash government programs, gut regulations, and line his own pockets with massive tax breaks. And yet, Musk still won’t testify before Congress to explain what the hell he’s doing. He’s a coward, protected by the same Republican politicians who claim to care about accountability but bow down to their billionaire overlord the second he snaps his fingers.

And the American people? We’re the ones paying the price. If your 401(k) is tanking, if you or someone you know has lost their job, if you’re worried about losing healthcare or education funding, if you see the country slipping into a dystopian nightmare—it’s not just happening to you. It’s happening to all of us. Even Republican voters are showing up at town halls demanding answers, furious at the destruction Musk and Trump are causing.

So what do we do? We fight. We don’t cower. We don’t back down. Congressman Garcia is standing up to this insanity, calling out the corruption at the highest levels. And so should we. The billionaire takeover of our government isn’t some far-off conspiracy—it’s happening right in front of us. The only question is: Are we going to let them get away with it? I know this community won’t.

Trump just wanted to stay out of jail, make more money, be idolized and play golf. I think he's happy to have Musk take over for now. He totally lied to his MAGA supporters but it may be too late. Republicans have all the power, and hopefully we will have an election in 2026 and 2028 to throw them out. But I'm a little concerned that they might find a reason to cancel the election or not follow the results like last time.

They won't need to cancel elections, because they will have assured that no one who would not vote for them can vote. They've been enacting voter suppression laws and gerrymandering in the states for years, and now the coup d'grace, for those states that have not gone along, is the SAVE Act. One glimmer of hope are the two special elections in Florida that will occur on April 1. If either of those seats flip, the Republicans lose control of the House.

I’m across from Canada here in Michigan and I’m so embarrassed and feel shameful that the US is picking on the nicest and easiest country to deal with.

Seriously, this post is old and traitor Trump is still continuing to ruin anything good to say the least.

Trump is a traitor, I do not know how everyone in the world can’t see that, I’m sure our enemies do and he’ll make even more blood money.

He is buyable and is selling out the US for his pocket.

Now in June 2025 he’s the richest he’s ever been without his daddy’s money from the richest in the world and from his “people” who voted his ignorance in.

He has a lot of blood money, he’s happy to still start wars to get what he wants from our enemies.

It’s pathetic that one of the dumbest human beings, traitor poser Trump, is filthy rich off of every Americans back and interests.

And also the president. Gross

What a president to influence kids…

The FAA just said that they are testing Musk's Starlink system for Air Traffic Control. Currently, Verizon provides weather, position, etc. information. Musk fired the technicians at the FAA that maintain the communications equipment. Now he is going to make big bucks by selling the FAA on Starlink. I don't think Starlink is reliable enough for air traffic control, but I've not seen any data on that. Will the FAA do a fair analysis of the safety of using Starlink? (doubtful)

I have noticed of late that CBS’s evening news with their new anchors including John Dickerson are hitting Dump hard, every single night. The first 10-15 minutes of every evening since they took over is devoted to the bullshit going on with Dump and especially, Musk. That was not the case before or since the election for them or any other Legacy news channel. Ben Meisalas and the MeidasTouch crew is always my first choice for updates and breaking stories now, but I do watch the other channels at certain times and CBS has improved, dramatically. Just Sayin.

Musk had concerns about the numerous regulatory investigations he *was* under and he was afraid of Harris too. No one knows exactly why but he didn't buy the election just to save Trump's ass.

Trump is not the only one trying to stay out of jail. Before buying his way into the Trump administration Musk commented that if Harris had won he would wind up in jail, likely due to his fraud and/or collusion with the Chinese Communist Party. Trump sees Musk as another fascist Roy Cohn style hachet man disabling government to enable their criminal agendas, but if the DOGE fiasco blows up Trump will throw Musk under the bus.

Angie's avatar

Trump likely can't throw Elon anywhere. He hates sharing the spotlight and Elon is already hogging way too much of it. My working theory is that Musk bought a share of whatever incriminating info Putin has on Trump. They're the dark triad of world domination until they inevitably turn on each other.

"Pep" Secretary Leavitt, as Jim Acosta refers to her, doesn't have the temperament, tact or intelligence for the role and is going to short circuit.

Unrelated, but I'm looking for a place to post this, and you all might be interested. I love the National Parks, and "liked" a few posts on FB about the National Parks. I also liked a few posts about the injustice of firings at National Parks as well as that famous upside down flag at El Capitan in Zion. The damage to the parks is distressing. So now I've been blocked by Meta. Not sure if other readers have mentioned this, but it's a real thing. So Bezos shuts down dissent on WaPo today. Amazon briefly would not allow people to order, at least in my area, directing us instead to past purchases, and believe me, this is the first purchase of the new administration, and it's miniscule. And now Meta is shutting down commenters who freely express their support of the National Parks.

He has no authority. Hot only was he not elected, he wasn't even hired, vetted or approved. It's a clear conflict of interest to see him rob our country to benefit his own businesses, obviously his intent in getting into his current situation. He broke the law with a huge "campaign donation" while a government contractor and should be elected. He knew his "power purchase" was secure as he and Putin saw to it.

An amazing thought came to mind recently. Did anyone see Dump’s hands on the news last night? He is on blood thinners(at least) and he was trying to hide it with makeup. Didn’t work. Several medications can cause the same bruising but antidepressants, and blood thinners such as Warfarin, Coumadin, Plavix and even aspirin among others, and who knows what else that guy is taking, intravenously. Then I saw a Star Trek episode the other night that reminded me of John Gill, a professor turned Nazi Führer(Dump) on a distant planet, only this Führer is being controlled with drugs by an underling(Musk) bent on destroying everything. It’s called “Patterns Of Force”. I didn’t notice of Führer Gill had any purple splotches.

It's quite obvious that Deadbeat Donnie wasn't up to the job the last time, but he's the demigod that the GOP was stuck with in order to implement the 2025 plan and the hostile takeover of the government. The Heritage Foundation has decided a long time ago that if they can't win hearts and minds they'll just lie cheat and steal their way into control and the hell with the other two thirds of the country. Hillary Clinton warned that there was a vast right wing conspiracy during Bill's presidency and people laughed at her. Are you laughing NOW?!

I just wrote a long letter in defense of Rep Garcia to the DOJ. We have your back. This was insane. I also addressed him for not bringing charges against Rep Cori Mills for abusing his girlfriend. Seems Martin has his priorities screwed up. He works for We The People not the wannabe King.

Project 2025 had made plans for Trump's return for years, with hit lists of career Civil Servants, regulators, lawyers, Inspectors General, entire Cabinet level departments and many others in their 900+ playbook co-authored by Vaught & Friends at the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society

Musk and the Muskovites were not anticipated by Vaught 6 months ago.

The wholesale gutting of federal funding with no care for the real harm caused was not the Project 2025 plan.

Trump is a dictator..but for him to succeed he needs to control the military..just like all dictators. And that is the key to focus on. Everybody must contact their family and friends in the army . Tell them to stay strong with the people and not resign...it is the key to save America....

Wait, wait wait. Elon Musk is a special government employee wasn’t there a ruling in the southern district of Florida. Let’s say around last May that stated that a special government employee needed congressional appointment. Has Elon been confirmed by Congress yet this sounds like a legal battle.

This is the kind of shit little Benny Baby Boy and his Babbling Brothers should be reporting not the flavor of theie designer coffee that fool subsxribers, who can not find their own news, bought him.. My god these guy will not fucking shut up... The following is more important.. Trump is ill.

The relationship between President Zelenskyy and President Putin is not a good one,” Trump said. “You noticed, right? It’s not a good one, not a good relationship. And we’ll have to try to work something out. Sometimes that happens. I get along with both. I have a very good relationship with President [Vladimir Putin]. I think I have a good relationship with President Zelenskyy. Now, we’re doing the deal and we’re gonna be in there. We’re gonna be actually in there digging our hearts out, and hopefully — you know, we need the rare earth [minerals]. We have some here, but we don’t have enough. Our economy is very strong, and we need a lot of things that, in some cases, we don’t have here. So I think we’re gonna have a very good relationship, but the relationship between them is not the best.”

A reporter then asked Trump if he still thought Zelenskyy was a dictator.

“Did I say that?” Trump asked. “I can’t believe I said that. Next question.”

People are right to be concerned that we have seen the last ever fair federal election in the US. That's why Musk \ Trump (MUMP) doesn't care about the pushback. Sure they fear for their lives, but are over protected. It's already hard to stop them and won't get any easier.

MTN, dear friends. Please go into overdrive and protests in the streets as well as flooding any and all townhalls/meetings. Take some advice from John Lewis and make good trouble. BIG TROUBLE. This is a coup. And it is being "televised". Fax (ha!), phone, email = good ideas. But, even the tiniest of in the streets peaceful demonstration can get local TV, radio, newspaper coverage. This is a COUP right in front of our faces.

Elon invented DOGE...so why don't we invented our own agencies?

Wouldn't it be something if good Americans built brand new counter agencies?

Imagine a whole new White House as a central agency and housed it with all the federal workers who were laid off? Built a whole new US Capitol and housed it with all the non-corrupt representatives and senators? A whole new set of government agencies...

I wonder which agencies policies Americans would listen to and which would be legitimate? 🤔💭

Everyone needs to join Country First of 50501. These are organizations that are actually doing something to stop this madness. There are other good organizations as well. But rallies are being organized and we need to show up physically. The more people call and/or go to the offices of these Republicans the less they can brush us off.
