Plutocrats and a Triumvirate
Elon Musk and the Benefits of Threatening a Government Shutdown

“Are we really witnessing the start of an oligarchy in the US?”
Oh I don’t think we’re witnessing the start of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.
You literally have a completely unelected billionaire who has just taken over and paused government funding to specifically take out provisions regarding china and other areas that pertain to him.
You have billionaires who run news outlets like Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post. Billionaires that run the LA Times completely interjecting their editorial Boards and manipulating what what’s being written in them.
We’re here. We are here. And we are going to witness very unprecedented moments come January.

I agree with AOC on all points made; I would also like to say that she was wrongly denied the opportunity to be the Chair of the Oversight Committee. I have genuine confidence in her abilities for such a demanding and important federal position.

Defendant Made Over $1.3M on Stolen Trade Secrets
Klaus Pflugbeil, 59, of Ningbo, China, was sentenced today to 24 months in prison for conspiring to send trade secrets that belong to a leading U.S.-based electric vehicle company (Victim Company-1). Pflugbeil, a resident of the People’s Republic of China (the PRC or China) and a Canadian and German national, and his co-defendant, Yilong Shao, who remains at large, are owners of a PRC-based business (Business-1) that sold technology used to make batteries, including batteries used in electric vehicles. Pflugbeil and Shao, former employees of a company that was purchased by Victim Company-1, took trade secrets from their employer, and later used the trade secrets to build a business that they marketed as a replacement for Victim Company-1’s products.
As anyone keeping up with the times is aware of electric vehicles are here to stay, and Musk’s deep involvement of his own in the industry should be a clear disqualifier from being involved in American government for any reason, coupled along with his overtly obvious profit over principles ideologies, but then again it is worth bearing in mind that Musk is merely listening to the sounds of his very own private orchestra playing all the myriads of sym—phonies casting themselves about in his oddly addled head. None the less he deals with the most espionage active nation in the world China to a measure and degree which should put a stop to all trust in Musk and all his business operations.
Subsequently, on or about November 17, 2023, Pflugbeil sent, via email, a detailed 66-page technical documentation proposal to an undercover agent (UC-1). The proposal notes, “this technical documentation package contains [Business-1] proprietary information which must be kept confidential.” In reality, the proposal contained battery assembly trade secret information belonging to Victim Company-1: at least half a dozen drawings Pflugbeil used in the proposal and sent to UC-1 were, in fact, Victim Company-1’s information related to the battery assembly trade secret. The business proposal quoted the battery assembly line at over $15 million.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Ellen H. Sise and Samantha Alessi for the Eastern District of New York and Trial Attorney Scott A. Claffee of the National Security Division’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section prosecuted the case.
The investigation and prosecution were coordinated through the Justice and Commerce Departments’ Disruptive Technology Strike Force. The Disruptive Technology Strike Force is an interagency law enforcement strike force co-led by the Departments of Justice and Commerce designed to target illicit actors, protect supply chains, and prevent critical technology from being acquired by authoritarian regimes and hostile nation states.
Now on to the main course:
On Wednesday night, Jeff Bezos dined with Donald Trump and Elon Musk at Mar-a-Lago. The following morning, seven Amazon warehouses saw their delivery drivers, a majority of whom have signed Teamster affiliation cards, go on strike.
Can you say the words Triumvirate and Plutocrat?
Musk has gone on record as opposed even to “the idea of unions,” and while Bezos has made no such pronunciamentos, his actions make clear that he joins with Musk—thereby, a duo of the world’s richest and second-richest persons—in opposing even a modicum of worker power.
The Amazon Strike, the Bezos-Musk-Trump Dinner, and the O’Brien Bet
What more could I possibly say regarding these three simple items?
January is just seven days away; get ready for an eventful and historic month.
Thank you for reading,

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Robert. I’m hopeful these revelations have not kept you away from enjoying time with your family.
Happy Holidays Robert. I believe Musk is attempting to destroy this country as a Democratic Republic from several things he has posted. One of those saying, (not a quote) that the US had interfered in the government and apartheid in South Africa, so why should he not do it here. I know you had a lot to say about the election as did many others. I hate to bring the topic up again but I saw a clip of a speech Ken Paxton made at one of their conferences that brought it all back. If Elon did indeed hack the election, who believes he will not do it again in the midterms since there are a lot of Senate seats up for reelection. https://www.reddit.Com/r/somethingiswrong2024/comments/1hk8pqr/elon_musk_i_am_responsible_for_this/?utm_source=share&rdt=61191
