Outrage 2.0

 Funny that it's been almost two years since I've posted to the blog I started in 2002 - in anger over the state of our country. And it's not like I didn't write - I just started posting on LinkedIn or Medium or 750Words. But given the amount of time I know have on my hands, thanks to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, I figured it was time to get Outrage and Ellen back on the Google search query grid (okay, okay - I can dream, can't I?)

So we are going to restart with my outrage at the number of headlines stating that Elon Musk has "decided" to step away from DOGE daily distractions, and focus on his myriad of business daily distractions due to a "tanking" at Tesla. None of which is surprising. What is causing my outrage today?

I have not come across ONE, NOT ONE media source that has brought up the REAL reason Musk can and will back down: almost every single federal investigation into Musk, his business and his unethical practices has been or will be ended or effectively shut down. And if you are thinking it's a "few" instances - the number you are looking for is more than 32. Yes, more than 32 different investigations. I shit you not. Yes indeed Elon has been a busy boy. But none of it has to do with efficiency or fraud. (Except his own of course.)

Thanks to Robert Reich who sums it up here visually: (source: Malika K.) Beyond outraged - where is  this being talked about besides the independent press?
