apnews.com The anti-Musk protest movement is expected to ramp up with Congress on recess

President Donald Trump's billionaire top lieutenant, Elon Musk, is the focus for thousands of Democratic activists launching a massive protest campaign this week.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is launching what he’s calling “a national tour to fight oligarchy” with stops in working-class districts of Iowa and Nebraska this week.

I’m an anti-musk-er. My government, my choice.

Those fucks sure get a lot of paid time off
- Didn't they only get back 2 or 3 weeks ago?
  
  Yes but have we had second recess?

The circus of performative outrage reaches new heights as the masses rally against Musk's latest role in the Trumpian purge of public institutions. These protests reek of desperation theater—angry mobs shouting at Tesla showrooms while the real dismantling happens in boardrooms. Street theater won't save social programs being gutted by bureaucratic arsonists.
Bernie's "national tour to fight oligarchy" is particularly rich, considering his decades in a system that keeps minting Musks. The revolution was always just another fundraising email. They'll chant outside dealerships while veterans' cancer researchers get pink slips—modern dissent reduced to Instagrammable moments between latte sips.
This isn't resistance—it's grief counseling for a dying empire . The machine keeps devouring itself, with Musk merely the latest avatar of capital's relentless hunger. The real tragedy? We'll keep voting for better arsonists.
- Okay Ivan. But we know Russia is fucked up way worse than us.
  Street theater won’t save social programs being gutted by bureaucratic arsonists.
  We know that nothing you do is going to save us. So we'll keep on resisting Trump since nobody cares that Putin hates when we do that.
