There seems to be no end to Muskās fragile ego.
CS comment was re: Patel. I disagree about the insanity. RFK Jr. is off his rocker insane and buys into any conspiracy theory that he hears. Patel has said that he wants to go after enemies in the media and the judicial system and is maliciously evil, rather than a buffoon.

Agree with this.
RFK Jr is much worse.
Itās hard for me to say which appointment is most dangerous, but RFK Jr, Patel, and Gabbard should have all been completely disqualified and are all dangerous appointments.

Also, we never should have confirmed Elon Musk. Not sure what Congress was even thinking there.

President Donald Trumpās nominees for key Justice Department positions wouldnāt commit to following federal court orders in all scenarios, raising examples of historical Supreme Court rulings upholding slavery and the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.
Democratic senators pressed Trumpās picks at their Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing on Wednesday on whether elected officials could flout federal court mandates.
The questioning comes amid concern that Trumpās administration may defy court rulings against his executive actions, following public suggestions by Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk that judges donāt have authority to quash the administrationās agenda.
Aaron Reitz, whoās been nominated to lead the Office of Legal Policy, which reviews department regulations and coordinates judicial nominations, said it would be ātoo case specificā for him to commit that officials should follow all court orders and that he couldnāt speak for all instances.
Little Marco is sad, although he could have seen this coming
