We did have a little part in this, but otoh he's been playing that game for years on his platform, I don't think it is what drove him out. Him blaming the Left is just - well, it's what he would do isn't it?

But now, even MAGA is against him. DOGE is such a blatant fuck-up on all levels, he probably doesn't even want to do that anymore. It won't bring his stock back up.

When an opponent doesn't care about rules, playing by those rules only puts you at disadvantage.

I think the first step is to stop calling out disinformation when it's against Drump and Co, let that shit ride

Bullying power in general as well. Progressives have been too soft on liberals too and always let them run the show. But the reality is it's always harder to rally people when things seem to be going ok and the crisis is muffled rather than blatantly obvious. Kinda how we never go to the dentist when nothing hurts even though we really shouldn't wait until it does. Anyway, hope something meaningful comes of this resistance because this fascist stage is still a stage of neoliberalism, like that's where the root cause is.

Except he's already acquired the data he needs and shipped it over to his Russian handlers.

FINALLY!!! Someone who GETS IT!!!

I said something similar in November, and had my comment removed, after being downvoted.

Peaceful protests don't work. Raging infernos do.

I agree with everything you said, except that it's "bullying". It's not. He's the bully. Musk is the richest man on the earth. He could go to the most expensive resort on the planet and the entire lives of him and his 20-something children would already be paid for. Instead, he gladly puts on a red hat, waltzes through our taxpayer-funded public services, firing hundreds of thousands and causing decades of damage. All with almost no real savings, even using DOGE's own numbers. Again, no one voted for him, Congress didn't approve of this. People pointing this out, and fighting back are not "bullying" him, it's resistance. Oh, and he's a Nazi.
