  • On Monday night's episode of "The ReidOut with Joy Reid," Joy referred to Musk's power grab as a "coup" that has put millions of Americans' private data at risk, and she asked Sen. Andy Kim of New Jersey how Democrats intend to fight back:

The article from MSNBC's "The Reidout" blog discusses a lawsuit filed by federal employees against former President Donald Trump, his administration, and Elon Musk, alleging they were coerced into violating federal ethics laws to promote Musk's interests, particularly with Dogecoin. The lawsuit claims that Trump and his administration pressured federal employees to engage in activities that would benefit Musk, including promoting Dogecoin, which is described as a cryptocurrency with no intrinsic value. The plaintiffs argue that this was part of a broader pattern of corruption and favoritism towards Musk, who in turn supported Trump politically. The suit also mentions instances where federal agencies like the SEC and FTC allegedly failed to act against Musk's companies despite evident violations, suggesting a quid pro quo arrangement. This legal action highlights concerns over the integrity of government operations and the influence of wealthy individuals on policy and regulatory enforcement.
