This is (part of) why I am, and intend to continue to be, a financial supporter of @greenpeace . I'm not claiming the organisation is perfect – none is – but we need groups with the courage, resources and skills to stand up to the onrushing #Corporate #Fascist wave.

#Trump meets #Corporate America as economic fears nip #stocks

Trump will meet the CEOs of America's biggest companies Tues, many whose market value has dipped in recent days as #recession & #inflation fears soured #consumers & #investors.

My guess? He’ll say, “Don’t worry, you’ll make it up in the tax breaks I’m giving you, + you can still hike your prices, make more money off your customers & blame immigrants! Hahaha!” [evil laugh]

A #corporate #coup is unfolding in the U.S.

In recent months, Elon Musk has increasingly acted as an unelected power broker,
using his economic and political might
— including his influence in the spheres of telecommunications, militarism and artificial intelligence
— to undermine democratic institutions
and reshape the government in his own image.

Musk’s influence extends far beyond the private sector.

His power manifests through private ventures that dictate public policy
— from X’s (formerly Twitter) control over the public conversation
to Starlink’s role in global conflicts.

His satellites control critical military and civilian communications.

His companies, including Tesla, StarLink, SpaceX and StarShield, (SpaceX’s military subsidiary), are deeply embedded in national security infrastructure,
-- while his growing AI and data collection through X gives him unprecedented political sway.

Now, Musk is openly using his wealth and influence to stage what can only be described as a corporate coup.

Musk is effectively seizing federal spending and usurping the congressional power of the purse
with his newly created “Department of Government Efficiency.”

Musk is positioning his private empire as the backbone of an authoritarian takeover in the U.S.

With Starlink increasingly playing an outsized role in critical communications infrastructure,
Tesla’s surveillance systems tracking intimate data
and AI-driven disinformation sourced from X flooding the media landscape,
Musk’s coup is not coming in the form of tanks on the White House lawn
— it is happening in boardrooms, data centers and the back channels of government contracts.

Co-ops are part of the North's history and truly are a way to undermine #corporate power and control. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/dechinta-centre-solid-state-collaboration-continues-in-nwt-1.7472108

“Jeremy Corbyn speaks to the Canary about the corporate power grab taking place in politics”

by Ed Sykes in The Canary @thecanaryuk

“The question about the corporate power grab is the most fundamental question there is. What we have is global corporations, a very small number of them, have massive incredible power, far greater power than almost any national government anywhere”
