All these tech bros were Democrats, until they weren't. I didn't like them then, and I don't like them now. They're only here to try to protect visas. All things being equal we get a better deal with Trump and the tech bros vs Democrats and the Tech bros. Democrats were going to give the Tech bros everything they wanted. Everything.

Don't forget Democrats paid way more to try to elect Kamala, you could easily do the same analysis there had they won.

No Russian bot, that's not correct. They're not just here to protect visas. They are here to fire any policy makers or regulators and privatize everything. We are witnessing kleptocracy. We would not be in this mess had Trump not been elected. Silicon Valley had too much power before, but now there are no guardrails at all.

It was unclear why Elon has been so focused on destroying CFPB— until X announced a partnership with Visa to create a payments platform called X Money. Then it became very obvious. Elon is destroying the exact regulator that would oversee that new venture. The plan is to illegally dismantle CFPB and turn the entire agency into “five men in a room with a phone.”

USAID initiated an investigation into Musk's Starlink's government contract from them to provide communication services to Ukraine. Months later once Trump came to power, that agency which had once paid Musk for his services to help other countries became his target as he "fed it to the woodchipper."

Btw, Elon desperately needs this X Money platform to work out. It is projected that the payment platform could generate up to a billion dollars for X, and they won’t need to rely on advertisers anymore.

So know in the future if you use that payment platform (or any payment app!), and there’s any sort of problem, or you get hacked or scammed, or if you have any dispute with the company about it, there will be NO ONE to help you. The U.S. government will do nothing. The agency that could help will not exist.

The point is that these tech bros are monsters that Democrats made, by making giant tech plantations where they employed thousands of indentured servants, they were able to accumulate billions of dollars. They just had enough sense and data (from their social media platforms) to know the Democrat platform was cratering and got off, they aren't especially welcome in the Republican party. Least ways that's my read. They probably donated as much if not more to Kamala/Biden.

In other words, Republicans are primarily focused on boosting Elon Musk and other Big Tech CEOs as they enter digital payment markets, determined to make managing and transferring money a regulatory-free zone. The move to revoke the larger participant rule takes enforcement decisions out of McKernan’s hands, and reveals the degree to which congressional Republicans are doing Musk’s bidding, even when it angers their traditional allies at the big banks.

As Sen. Warren said at a field hearing on Tuesday, “Trump and Musk aren’t shutting down the CFPB because it’s good for consumers—they are doing it to advance their own financial interests.”

It’s no secret that Musk wants to build X into a payment app. The company announced a partnership with Visa in January to support peer-to-peer payment transactions and a digital wallet. X Money would be a candidate for the kind of supervision the CFPB set up for non-bank firms. Eliminating the CFPB “would leave him free to scam and steal however he wants,” Warren said at the hearing.

If anyone uses Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal, you should be worried. If you have a mortgage, you should be worried. If you have a bank account, you should be worried. CFPB is literally not being allowed to work, and if Elon gets his way, it never will again.

And this is all because Elon wants to get into digital payments (again), and he doesn’t want any regulation. That’s why. It has nothing to do with efficiency.
