Summary

Elon Musk amplified Senator Mike Lee’s calls to overhaul Social Security, labeling it a “nightmare.”

Lee, known for advocating the elimination of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, criticized the program as deceptive and mismanaged.

Musk, co-chair of Trump’s advisory commission on cutting federal spending, faces accusations of aligning with GOP efforts to privatize or gut Social Security.

Advocacy groups denounce these moves as a threat to seniors and disabled Americans, warning that Republicans aim to shift earned benefits to Wall Street, despite broad public opposition to cuts or privatization.

Sure go ahead and do this. Many would suffer but this would radicalize the fuck out of people and maybe even turn some of the working class that is reactionary away from their reactionary ideology if getting their guy elected ends up fucking over their social security benefits or prospect of them.

This is why we need to be organizing heavily right now because most people know both parties are fucked they just saw Trump as an outsider. If he goes and does the most unpopular thing ever then people might just start to see the whole government is fucked, the country is fucked, the only thing that can save us and arguably the planet is to completely dismantle the US government and all its colonial projects like Israel, etc.
