The People Fighting Elon’s Crap (and how to HELP)
AOC says Republicans are shaken by the calls about Elon.
Here’s the tipping point: the moment Elon Musk, Donald Trump or any of their cronies openly defy a court order, we’ve officially entered a constitutional crisis.
We’re not quite there yet. Yes, the dismantling of key institutions is happening at breakneck speed. Yes, Trump and Musk are embedding loyalists in crucial government agencies. But so far, the courts have still held the line.
Just this past week:
A Reagan-appointed judge blocked Trump’s illegal attempt to strip birthright citizenship.
Trump’s efforts to pause federal funding were immediately challenged in court.
Even with Trump and Musk gutting democratic institutions, we haven’t yet become Hungary, a country where democracy collapsed because of the exact playbook Trump is using: attack the media, stack institutions with loyalists and defy court orders until the judiciary bends to your will.
But today, both Elon Musk and JD Vance started floating the idea of outright defying a court ruling — and it felt coordinated.
This Is What We Need to Watch Closely
Trump is throwing countless distractions per day, building up to his Super Bowl appearance, but they’re just noise. He’s flooding the zone. The real danger is what’s happening behind the scenes: the normalization of lawlessness.
The good news? Public pressure is working.
Take it from AOC, who recently said:
“I think the volume of calls this week has absolutely started to change the tide… Democratic and Republican members alike are actually getting a high volume of calls. And if that sustains itself, we’re already seeing the tide turn a little bit. But the pressure needs to stay on.”
Members of Congress — especially in purple districts — are vulnerable to public pressure because they need to win re-election. If they start feeling the heat, they’ll think twice before rubber-stamping Trump and Musk’s power grabs.
We Have to Keep Pushing
I’ve been hammering the Elon story non-stop, and thanks to you guys, it’s working. In the past seven days alone, my coverage of Musk has hit 6.5 million views on YouTube — and I’m only doubling down.
If you know your representative but don’t have their contact information, call the U.S. House switchboard at (202) 224-3121, and they will connect you to their office.
This fight isn’t over. Keep the pressure on. Keep calling. Keep exposing them. The moment we stop pushing back is the moment they win — subscribe to my Substack or YouTube channel for more updates.
