Read an exclusive excerpt from journalist Casey Michel's new book exploring how the country's wealthiest are monopolizing U.S. democracy and propping up dictators and autocrats in the process.
He has not only super-trashed the environment with SpaceX, polluted Social Media with Grok child pornography, but now he is also unloading his rocket garbage on the moon!
Cheeto in cahoots with oligarch Peter Theil of Palantir want your private information so in the future the fascist Republicans can disenfranchise voters. This is a large scale digital AI driven effort to eliminate voters not loyal to the fascist takeover so as to keep them in power forever.
The SAVE Act was Cheeto’s attempt to get states to turn over registered voter rolls to the federal government. Of course 16 fascist Republican states have or said that they will comply with the demand but all the rest of the states have sued and won in court to refuse the demand. Now Cheeto’s allies are trying another gambit. This time under the guise of “modernizing” they’re demanding through the CPSC(Consumer Product Safety Commission) that all medical records from emergency rooms be turned over to the Commission from most reported injuries(bit.ly/3TEblKC). More than likely will be met with class action suits by hospital systems.
Slowly with these kinds of efforts, some failed some successful, this registered voter information will, they hope, get this data into the Feds hands so that Theil and his fascist cabal can begin their AI slash and burn of “unqualified registered voters”. Some agencies were raided during the days of DOGE in 2025 and the stolen Fulton Country ballots are part of the grander scheme.
The message to registered voters is clear. Vote EARLY and use drop boxes. Thees days privacy is at a premium, especially with this fascist regime.
Elon SKUM (I always mistype it) is a very rich fascist who enables a not so rich but incredibly stupid autocrat wanna-be. They and their enabling uber-wealthy (e.g., Peter Theil, who is a first-class wimp, by the way) need to never forget one thing: There are more of us (WE THE PEOPLE) than there are of them. The French proletariat had the right ideas in the late 1700s.
I think the wealth tax used to be 95% on the rich under Eisenhower. But then, what do I know? Now we have this poor little girl, Senator Moreno's granddaughter; broken clavicle; naked pictures with her private parts visible, and over 200K views. How many downloads? These people are sickos. Well, they are not people. They are sick male creatures who are not men.
Yes, its easy to hit the wrong key! Happens all the time. If we taxed the SKUM (ooops, again!) like in the fifties.... maybe we could at least equal out some of the wealth and feed a few more children, provide education, food, medicine.....
As I recall my history, in the 1950s the top marginal tax rate was 90% or so. I am not an economist (only a former med school prof), but when you look at people like SKUM, so much of his income is so-called "unearned income," and thus might not be taxable as you and I might like. I much prefer a flat percentage wealth tax on anyone over some set net worth (e.g. $100 million).
What F-Elon Muskrat and his Douche Brigade did initially to Our Government still makes me bite through nails. The near irrevocable damage, death. The Ultra Monied Scum wants us kept in check.
But Musk rides the backs of others. No talent. Just like his ON/OFF Bro 🍊.
When there is damage from flooding and no FEMA to warn the public or to coordinate emergcy efforts to help, Musk should be held accountable for deaths and damages. If there is inaction to support public health measures to fight Eubola because USAID was gutted and closed, African Nations should sue Trump and Musk in international Courts, for destroying USAID, that helped in the past for International efforts to control this highly communicable disease. Deaths from closing off help from US efforts by the firing of the infectious disease committee that recommends actions for disease like Bird Flu, now in record numbers of case in California this year, is now occuring because of changes to Public Health staff by Trump and Musk. Deaths should be placed at the door of these elected and unelected pereptrators of collusion to harm the USA public.
I wonder if people will ever wake up and realize what a dud Musk is? With his laminated face and seemingly autism spectrum disorder and drug problems, he has way too much power and wealth. He has 200 million followers on his Twitter which he bought so he could control opinions and messaging. He also owns the President on the United States, who anyone can buy if you have the money. Musk made his billions with the help of different and many Government contracts. Yet his horrible Doge activity , without any audits, cost thousands of Federal workers their jobs, and untold thousands of the poorest children and people in the world their lives, as he closed USAID.! Trump is a symptom and Musk is the disease!
A plan had been underway for over a year with Elon Musk and his companies to make him the "world's first trillionaire" via creative compensation packages, etc, though it was known from the start it would not likely hold for long. The benefits to both Elon Musk's ego and the companies' bottom lines would be in PR, lots of free news coverage and balance sheet "goodwill". Now, If one watches the YouTube ads and TV late night infomercials, there's a cottage industry composed of wannabe investment advisors and "insiders" who claim to know what Elon Musk is going to do next and are willing to share that with you for a modest fee. Some of these characters are quick to point out that you only need to have as little as a few hundred dollars to "invest" and win big!
Yes, this is the "Age of the Oligarchs" in America: disliked, even despised by average wage owners, admired by those who dream (mostly) unrealistically of joining their ranks. Unfortunately, few commensurate "Horace Greeley" stories are being written. What are being written are nonfiction stories of oligarchs effectively putting their fingers on the scales of our elections, thanks to decisions handed down by SCOTUS and lower courts allowing the oligarchs (&/or entities they control) to directly or indirectly influence their outcomes. Remember the news coverage of the $100 million Elon Musk spent on Donald Trump's candidacy during the final run-up to his election to his current term. And remember Elon Musk and DOGE.
Musk is certainly not someone you want to meet on a dark street. How many of these Republicans are either nuts, drug addicts, child abusers, or sexual perverts. Oh yes, I forgot. They also are mysoginists. Did they forget their mothers were female?
He has not only super-trashed the environment with SpaceX, polluted Social Media with Grok child pornography, but now he is also unloading his rocket garbage on the moon!

Thank you for the article, Casey how about Capital One go after these Oligarchs besides Trump.
