‘Top Donald Trump adviser and tech CEO Elon Musk said that’s he’s “had enough” and that a lawsuit is “inbound” after a Democratic commentator called him a “thief” and a “Nazi” live on CNN this week.
Former New York congressman Jamaal Bowman drew some on-air distancing from host Abby Phillip on CNN Tuesday after his inflammatory comments about Musk, in a wild rant that went viral on social media.
“He’s incompetent, he’s a thief, he’s a Nazi, and people don’t trust him, period,” said Bowman in a panel discussion on Thursday’s CNN NewsNight.’

Musk has only himself to blame.
Musk may not be a Nazi, but he is a fascist.
And it’s true that Musk is incompetent, a thief, and that people don’t trust him.

Probably, too late now. Trump, Musk, Project 2025, and the Republican Party are likely transforming the White House into a version of Zhongnanhai. No joking!‘Top Donald Trump adviser and tech CEO Elon Musk said that’s he’s “had enough” and that a lawsuit is “inbound” after a Democratic commentator called him a “thief” and a “Nazi” live on CNN this week.

Many of Trump's proposals align with Project 2025, an initiative that aims to expand presidential power and implement a conservative vision of American society. The project proposes placing the federal bureaucracy under direct presidential control, a concept known as the "unitary executive theory". It also seeks to eliminate job protections for government employees and overhaul agencies like the FBI.Sources:

Potential for Authoritarianism
The unitary executive theory has raised concerns about the potential for an authoritarian government due to its implications for presidential power. Here’s why this theory could lead to such a scenario:
1. Concentration of Power: The unitary executive theory posits that the President has complete control over the executive branch, which includes all federal agencies. This concentration of power can undermine the system of checks and balances that is fundamental to American democracy. When the President can direct agencies like the Department of Justice without oversight, it raises the risk of using that power for personal or political gain rather than for the public good.
2. Erosion of Accountability: If the President can act without checks from Congress or the judiciary, it diminishes accountability. This lack of oversight can lead to decisions that prioritize the President's interests over democratic principles, potentially fostering an environment where dissent is suppressed and opposition is marginalized.
3. Implementation of Project 2025: Project 2025, which is based on a maximalist interpretation of the unitary executive theory, proposes that the entire federal bureaucracy be placed under direct presidential control. This could facilitate an authoritarian approach to governance, as it allows for the potential sidelining of independent agencies that are meant to operate free from political influence. Critics argue that such a framework could enable a future president to implement policies that reflect an authoritarian agenda, as seen in some of the proposals outlined in Project 2025.
4. Historical Context: The theory has been associated with past administrations that sought to expand executive power, often in ways that critics argue undermine democratic norms. The concern is that if a president were to fully embrace this theory, it could lead to a significant shift away from democratic governance towards a more authoritarian style of leadership.
In sum, while the unitary executive theory is framed as a means to enhance executive efficiency, its potential to concentrate power and reduce accountability raises significant concerns about the risk of authoritarian governance.

the effeminate weaklings on the left keep implying that Trump is a dictator .. if Trump is a dictator he's the worst example of a dictator in history .. dictators don't wrest power away from the federal gov and transfer said power to state and local gov like Trump is doing .. dictators don't curb extremely powerful unelected bureaucrats and bureaucracies like the dept of education and entrust trust said power to the people and local gov .. its the tyrannical fascist left that has censored silenced and used lawfare to go after political opposition ..Probably, too late now. Trump, Musk, Project 2025, and the Republican Party are likely transforming the White House into a version of Zhongnanhai. No joking!

He tries to act like a dictator, and he gets in a rage when told "no, not today."
And "no, not today" when you deny the undeniable.

This coming from the side that did nothing but give US 20 percent compounded inflation, large spending bills, egregious illegal immigration, and high energy prices.
Trump has already cleaned up the Biden-Harris illegal immigration mess.
He gave his opinion....1st Amendment?
Well he is a Saffer.
