ICYMI: A few weeks ago, Elon Musk had a secret billionaire’s dinner in Hollywood called the “Anti-Biden Bash.” Dozens of billionaires, including Rupert Murdoch & Peter Thiel attended. Even former members of Trump’s cabinet were there, e.g. Steven Mnuchin. puck.news/elon-musk-davi…

It is disgraceful, and a degradation of the founding principles of this nation.
