I mean it wouldn't be an anti-Musk/Trump protests without fascist propagandists claiming *checks notes* millions of protestors were a paid psy-op (and also, Hamas, apparently.)

motherjones.com/politics/2025/

Elon Musk Says Saturday’s Protesters Were Paid “Puppets.” That’s Not What I Saw.

"Musk chimed in on the same video: “The problem is the puppetmasters, not the puppets, as the latter have no idea why they are even there,” he wrote. “He had to read the paper he was given to understand the sign he was holding,” Musk wrote over a video of a protester explaining what his sign—which said “End the kakistocracy”—meant. Musk also shared several posts from the Wall Street Apes account on X, which has more than 929,000 followers, and right-wing influencer Mario Nawfal, who has more than two million followers, alleging—without evidence—that the protesters were paid.

Conspiracy theorist and journalist cosplayer Laura Loomer also alleged that “the radical left is BUSSING IN PROTESTERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY TO CAUSE CHAOS IN WASHINGTON DC” who she claimed were “pro-Hamas,”an apparent reference to the fact that some were holding Palestinian flags and wearing keffiyehs."

Folks, I don't know who needs to hear that it is feasibly impossible for a "puppet master" (man, he even talks like Goebbels) to pay MILLIONS of protestors, but it is. Please keep in mind that when it comes to Musk, who is literally a fucking nazi, this is the same guy who was accusing George Soros of paying hecklers at his Wisconsin Volkish Revival rally while he was dishing out million dollar checks to voters for "signing a petition" in an effort to buy a judicial election. As for Loomer, I'm pretty sure she also thinks her Uber driver and any particularly "swarthy" person she encounters in public spaces is also "Hamas" if her past social media transgressions are any indication.

The bigger picture here is pretty simple; for whatever the Hands Off protests did, didn't, will, or won't accomplish, if these nazi maggots are scared enough to lie about it with poorly-coordinated conspiracy theories to try and explain it away for the cult of Trump, that means *they* certainly noticed millions of people giving up their Saturday to tell Trump and Musk to get in the fucking sea.

Mother JonesElon Musk says Saturday's protesters were "paid puppets." That's not what I saw.Right wingers are trying to discount the mass mobilization the country saw on Saturday.

human cheezit is live-tweeting diplomacy and tariffs from a Florida Cheesecake Factory with secret service eyerolling hard enough to generate a Higgs boson

Laura "9/11 was an inside job and also I’m an Uber critic" Loomer walking into the White House like she's handing out pink slips at a MAGA bake sale. imagine getting fired from the NSA because a woman who live-tweeted herself getting banned from Twitter decided your vibes were off

not because you leaked something, not even because you did something... because you weren't vibing hard enough with the "eat the pets" caucus

elon, who is now macrodosing ketamine, spent the Mar-a-Lago strategy dinner balancing a fork and two spoons on his finger like a dissociating toddler. His date watched him like he was bending space-time

meanwhile canada, literal canada, is out here doing realpolitik with a moose and vibes

we are not a country, we are a "choose your own collapse" ARG with lag spikes

Ist die ultrarechte Aktivistin Laura Loomer Trumps Einflüsterin?

Nachdem US-Präsident Trump mehrere Mitglieder seines Teams gefeuert hatte, machte sofort das Gerücht die Runde, dass die ultrarechte Influencerin Laura Loomer dahinter stecke. Wer ist diese Frau? Von Sebastian Hesse.

A spox for #USCyberCom said she could not confirm Gen Haugh’s removal, & referred questions to the #Pentagon, which did not respond for comment. A White House spox did not confirm the ouster.

But a #US official briefed on the matter said #LauraLoomer, a #FarRight activist & outside adviser to #Trump, called for Gen Haugh’s removal during her Oval Office meeting on Thurs. Trump ordered #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth to fire Gen Haugh, the ofcl said.

Between the drama over #KetamineKaren 's government bloodbath, Social Security software changes, these really really stupid #tariffs tanking the stock market, and now firing National Security Advisors at the request of fucking bat-shit insane basic cindy #LauraLoomer, and I'm thinking old man #trump has stepped in a real shit puddle. Even #maga hates LL. Maybe 2026 IS the bloodbath the GOP has been asking for for years. These guys are incompetent at everything.

of course #Trump listened to the #FarRight #radical promoting #ConspiracyTheories

Trump fired at least 3 senior #NationalSecurity Council [#NSC] officials at the urging of the #extremist & conspiracist #LauraLoomer, according to a US official w/direct knowledge of the matter. The dismissals came a day after she met him in the Oval Office with a list of administration personnel she deemed #disloyal to him.
