Billionaire Musk bought control of US government and conspiracy theorists sure are quiet | Opinion

www.usatoday.com Billionaire Musk bought control of US government and conspiracy theorists sure are quiet | Opinion

Since it appears that unelected billionaire Elon Musk is running the country, I'd like a word with all the right-wing conspiracy theorists out there.

What in the name of the Illuminati is going on here? And why in the name of Alex Jones are you usually reliable nutters not freaking the heck out?

Who cares about conspiracy theorists. Someone do something about it
- Its up to us. Bring the nation to a grinding halt.
  
  I'm German so I can't do much
  
  You can stop buying American products and services. As a US citizen, I think the rest of the planet needs to boycott our shit.
  I know it will hurt me and other US citizens. That's not really the point anymore. We will get hurt anyway. One of the few ways to undermine what they're trying to do is to hit them in the pocketbook and stop giving them money.
  So, what you can do is purchase with your conscience in knowing that supporting the US is supporting a despotic regime.
  That's all you can really do, and considering how much of an aberrant bully the US has been, I can't really ask for help beyond that.
  
  Boycott is the weakest form of protest, I say that as a vegan
  
  For sure, but it's well within reach of people outside of the US without having to ask more of them. They have their own problems, and a lot of those problems they have historically have been made worse by US meddling. I don't expect people from the rest of the world to come running to save the US, I think the world learned that lesson after 9/11 when we threw away the good will of the wider world to become Team America World Police.
  That's why, despite it not being a strong form of protest, it's all I feel comfortable asking of people from elsewhere in the world in stopping what is happening here.
  
  Well I won't boycott US products. Also your wording is kinda weird, ask of me whatever you want. I'm only going to do it if I think it's useful, you're just someone on the internet
  
  "someone do something about it"
  Gets told a way they do something, however small, even as a non citizen
  "nah I won't do that."
  Wild to watch unfold.
  
  When that person wrote "something" they obviously meant something useful.
  
  I don't think it's wild to not want to boycott a whole countries products. Very impractical and won't change much.
