Elon Musk calls to ‘delete’ US consumer finance watchdog

Tech billionaire tapped by Trump posts on X about wanting to eliminate Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)

Musk’s post came in response to a recent podcast clip from the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, a significant Trump donor, who said the agency’s primary purpose is to “terrorize financial institutions”.

But it was soon reported that Andreessen’s venture capital firm, Andreessen Horwitz, was among other investors who had backed LendUp, an online consumer payday lender, that was shut down by the CFPB in 2018.


The Bureau protects consumers from financial scams. I can see why trumps acolyres want to get rid of troublesome regulations. Especially when they stop their own fiddles.

America seems well set for another financial meltdown. This one turbo charged with crypto.

I did think that they might be more subtle about it all but it appears not.

Maybe it will all turn out for the best ? It certainly will for the billionaire class elites.

The FBI is suppose protect the public from fin scams

We don’t need another agency to do what the fbi is suppose to be doing

Relax Brits, you have too many financial and social problems of your own than to point fingers at the Trump administration. Does the ironically named "Guardian" think Harris has a better financial sense when she blew a billion (with a B) dollars in three months while enriching H'wood celebs and pop stars? Her campaign is still soliciting funds after they lost the election and she is 20 million in the hole. Where is the financial protection agency on that one?

So what is President Trump receiving in return?

Maybe Elon will give him one of the SpaceX missiles. President Trump sure liked the way they landed, with the chopsticks things that grabbed the missile when it set down. He could put it in the back yard of his home in Mar A Lago and charge tourists a couple dollars to climb up on it.

Wouldn't that be peachy?

Trump has had all hes going to get off musk. Now its elons time to collect. His support was just another investment in a feeble minded old man.

This is what happens when you elect a grifter.
