Musk says he’s “rapidly shutting down … illegal payments.” But who is Musk to decide what a payment is illegal? Folks, this looks a lot like a coup.

Musk hasn’t been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never authorized by Congress. No one other than Trump has given Musk any authority. No one knows exactly who Musk’s goons are; they have not been vetted yet are handling some of the most sensitive personal information in the government.
