Poooor Elon and Public Retribution

After all the wrongful firings of the civil service, the attacks of waste fraud and abuse, the secretive sharing of federal databases with the Nazi party, and his corrupt relationships with federal agencies, Elon is facing the financial consequences with the disastrous first quarter earnings report of Tesla which is his primary wealth giving asset

PROTESTS ARE WORKING BY WE THE PEOPLE If were not for interest earned by cash and payments by other EV manufacturers Tesla would be in the red for almost $1B 71% reduction in earnings comparing 2024 quarter to this quarter Everyone that the Orange Cheeto touches is somehow destroyed in some way They all hope that they will be different but it never happens

Must see 7minute Maddow segment showing what the people think of the Nazis and Elon(remember the salute?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU23jm417-k

For what it’s worth the brilliant Nikola Tesla died penniless in New York in January 1943

Nikola Tesla has always been a hero to me. Highly intelligent and more ethical than Thomas Edison, who was jealous and wanted to destroy him. It’s a pity that the name has taken on a new, warped association with Elon Musk.

So true about anyone who joins the inner circle of Cheeto and nearly everyone of them has had a jail sentence or financially had been ordered to pay like Rudy…Yet Cheeto escapes which is totally unfair…Eventually Karma will get him just not soon enough…

In a future incarnation he'll come back as a rat

It sounds like Bobby BrainWorm is determined to bring back all the preventable childhood diseases people like him were vaccinated against because he's off his rocker. Cutting back on food safety inspectors? Advocating not pasteurizing milk? What is this? Make Bovine TB Great Again? For god's sake, people in the 19th century would have given their right arms to have vaccines and preventive measures we take for granted. That jackass is going to get thousands of children killed. No doubt about it.

Thank Ron and Anthony. Another brilliant summary and exposition of Trump and his toadies actions.

The Fifth Amendment protects all persons in the U.S. The Administration does not. This Administration will have cost the U.S. Treasury $1.5 billion in damages awards, in my opinion, after these deportees bring suit. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/abuse-misuse-of-alien-enemies-act?r=3m1bs

Japan opposition lawmaker Oguma Shinji said it out loud. Japan is like being extorted by a delinquent. The logic is all over the place. There is no consistency. If Japan gives in, it will set a bad precedent. If you give money to someone who extort you, they will come back for more. He even mentioned the documentary "The Apprentice" and said you can learn what kind of person Trump is from the documentary on Trump's mentor Roy Cohn. https://youtu.be/othWe_iWrzA?feature=shared

Keep being loud!

Use this spreadsheet to call/email/write any of our representatives as often as possible. Not just your own state reps, reach out to those in other states. Be as loud as you can and share this. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”

Kilmar Abrego Garcia: I absolutely hate what is happening to him--if we needed any more proof that Trump is evil, here it is. Still, the face of a person being unfairly and cruelly treated is galvanizing our people to really watch our situation and to remember, "There but for the grace of God go I."

Would love to get transcripts of these. I simply do not have enough hours in the day to watch a 90+ minute video (or even listen), along with all the other important Substack videos. Even an AI-generated transcript would do. I can read a lot faster than I can watch or listen. Thank you for considering!

There is only one way to exterminate a parasite.

Thanks Ron, I'll watch it later. In the meantime, I agree that tesla is permanently damaged, for me at least. I wouldn't have one if it was free, In other news, there was a good article in the ABC (Australia) News yesterday about how the previously right-leaning voters in both Australia and Canada are now suddenly shifting back to the left, mainly because of trumpian actions. It didn't help that politicians in the right wing Opposition were making comments such as "make Australia great again" and threatening to ban working from home and installing an Australian version of DOGE. Was not popular.

Thank you so much for being so brave Meidas Touch and reporting the truth. I truly appreciate what you are doing. When we keep getting MAGA breaking into our comments we know we are getting to them. They just can't bear to hear the truth. And I don't know where compassion has gone. I am doing my part by writing postcards, attending rallies, speaking out for the truth. There is too much at stake to stop fighting. As long as I have breath in my body I will continue to fight.
