#ElonMusk accused the #FTC in 2023 of “overreach” & said, “Weaponization of government agencies for censorship & political machinations needs to stop.”🥱

But for some, the most egregious conflict is #DOGE’s namesake itself.

Since #Trump’s election, #dogecoin’s value has doubled, even nearly tripling at one point—gains that have outpaced #bitcoin & the #Dow Jones Industrial Average, both of which also surged after Trump’s victory.

When the #DOGE website launched with an image of the coin’s mascot, #crypto #influencers took it as a sign that the coin’s value would surge in coming weeks.

…#ElonMusk has acknowledged that he holds #dogecoin, saying he bought some for his son X in 2021, though specifics on Musk’s & #Tesla’s position are unknown.

"“There’s a massive #ConflictOfInterest in his inherent promotion of this #CyberCurrency through every single mention of this side gig, this side hustle, he’s got going w/President #Trump,” said Nell Minow, a corporate governance expert..."

The core issue here is the point that both #Trump and #Musk have been taught that they can do anything they want with complete impunity because they have never suffered *any* consequences of any kind for their actions

Why should they change?

What's the worst thing that can happen to them?

Nothing, apparently
