Hey, Americans...are you OK?

Elon Musk just took the keys to the US Treasury. How are Americans not invoking the 2nd Amendment right now? Are you seriously going to sit around waiting for the institution to crash?

Like, you guys realize Musk just committed a financial coup on the national piggy bank right? The federal government's spending is no longer controlled by Congress. Why aren't Americans panicking?

(Confused outside observer watching from overseas.)

I mean the ones who didn't vote for him can also legally get guns. Like, the 2nd Amendment was literally written with this type of scenario in mind.

Also plenty of conservatives are on the chopping block, such as the majority of the DoJ. So surely someone should be standing up...

Not to mention the news is weirdly calm about it and are acting like this is completely normal politicking.
