Musk’s clout and his role as DOGE co-chair are even more significant given the billions of dollars in federal contracts held by his various companies and the array of federal agencies that regulate those companies. Americans are entitled to know about his communications and activities with the federal government before he and Trump go about overhauling it. That’s why our organization, the State Democracy Defenders Fund, has begun our inquiry into DOGE by filing Freedom of Information Act requests across the federal government.

It’s a way to strip working class protections and rights in the name of efficiency.

Things like protection from your credit card company. Credit cards can function great if you don’t treat them like money. This would not be the case if President Musk makes his cuts.

They hint at McKinley and McKinley was horrible for working class.
