Driving what Musk-Trump are doing, Dave Troy thinks, is end-times fervor:

"In common across all of these is prophecy about some future time when the foretold will be realized. The ideologues who have captured our government believe that future is happening now — and it's impossible to overstate the danger we are in. They believe they have permission to follow their own rules — which they are making up on the fly."

"Trump will orchestrate no military coup. The Republican Congress will probably pass no laws that make Trump president for life. That would be too obvious. What they’ll do is make stealthier moves across the board that discredit and destroy our democratic institutions until he and his billionaire friends can strip them for parts. Chaos fascism is here to stay."

"Donald Trump is inventing a new way. Call it chaos fascism. Destroy the institutions of democracy until they’re so disfigured or dysfunctional that a majority no longer cares about them."

"Across human history, fascism has been imposed upon democracy mostly in one of two ways. First, by brute force—a military coup, that sort of thing. Second, a bit more stealthily, and legally—through legislation, executive decrees, and court decisions that hand more power to the leader."

Elon Musk’s DOGE Cuts Are Crashing Social Security

DOGE cuts are making the #SocialSecurity Admn fall apart.
https://newrepublic.com/post/193134/social-security-falling-apart-elon-musk-doge-cuts

"Dudek and DOGE’s actions have caused #chaos within the agency, pushing out experienced officials who were running the SSA’s complicated information #technology & benefit systems. As a result, an agency that has been underfunded for years now is on the brink of being shut down"

Long waits, waves of calls, web crashes: Social Security is breaking down

A flood of cuts led by Elon Musk has sent the agency into #chaos as a new commissioner prepares to take charge.

"The #SocialSecurity Admn website crashed 4 times in 10 days this month, blocking millions of retirees & disabled #Americans from logging in to their online accounts... so many employees have been pushed out... as part of the ... efforts led by #ElonMusk"

"They are gutting medical research in 'colleges and hospitals in every state.' And they are aiming to kick millions—as many as 36 million of the hardest-working Americans—off of Medicaid.

And that's just the beginning…."

#Musk, as the architect of a group he called the Dept of Govt *Efficiency*, has taken a chain saw to the apparatus of governing, spurring #chaos & dread by pushing out some 100k #FederalWorkers & shutting down various agencies, though the govt has not been consistent in explaining the expanse of his #power.

But in selected spots across the govt, #SpaceX is positioning itself to see billions in new federal contracts or other support….

"But, as Matt Viser said in the Washington Post today, on Friday White House communications director Steven Cheung said Trump personally signed the proclamation, and his signature appears on the document in the Federal Register of official government documents. The gap between the two versions of events raises questions about who is in charge of White House policy."

"That’s the point, really. The standardization of chaos. The steady insistence that no matter how outlandish, how dangerous, this tilt away from democracy gets, it’s actually nothing to get upset about. Attempt to remake the US government as quickly and radically as possible, because otherwise how will you know how far you can push it?"

"Sometimes, chaos is the point. Often, cruelty is the point. This week, casting a threatening pall over the country’s long tradition of scholarship and free thought appeared to be the point."
