At his rally in Wisconsin, South African billionaire Elon Musk says he will put an end to the Federal Reserve Bank and the US Dollar so that he, Peter Thiel and David Sacks (the South African broligarchs) can introduce a new cryptocurrency based financial system.
Did anything good ever come out of South Africa ?
Did people like this? Does anyone like this? 0 sense made.
At his rally in Wisconsin, ketamine addled billionaire shows he knows nothing of the Economic Hit Men.
Run for the hills with all one’s money in gold!!! Prior to the Federal Reserve System, there were frequent financial panics. What Musk is proposing is the greatest financial heist in world history.
Correct
The thing is u literally can't go to a supermarket or a grocery store and buy stuff with crypto or gold. Paper money for all of its flaws keeps this current economy flowing at so many levels. To ''transition'' to a digital economy would be near impossible even Putin knows this.
Yup.
I was walking down newkirk ave near Coney Island Ave a few days after hurricane Sandy there's a gas station⛽nearby the station rationed gas for 2weeks until deliveries could be resumed in full. There were regular fights outside of the station for days, gas station workers were beaten & nearly killed
Whoa…
I swear once the gas ⛽ station ran out of gas they closed down. There were still over 50 vehicles waiting for ⛽ gas. People got out of their vehicles and beat up gas station workers & such. It was an ugly brutal scene.
Will population stand up or let that happens? Thats the question
Yup
Unless the military intervenes who's to stop them?? If they get their wish & end the federal reserve & thus the US 💵💵 it will lead to panic on a scale 1000xx worse than anything imaginable. Like the poor people of NEW ORLEANS after KATRINA. REMEMBER those shots of people at the SUPERDOME?
Indeed.
I remember the panic people had in Brooklyn post superstorm Sandy. Gasoline ⛽ at service stations wasn't being delivered for about 2weeks there were literally fist fights at gas station ⛽ along coney island Ave & bay Pkwy. News media captured it.
The Land of the free is not supposed to be democratic? Go on the street, protest! Your gov. say everyone is ok with that, nobody protest
Transcript, please.
Has he ever had an idea that didn’t first come from a science fiction book, movie, or tv show? Mr Robot-ass fucking dweeb
Does he think he is Patton
Where is the link to the source ? This bastard is disgusting but let's not make heavy accusations without proof ....
Oh will he now. Hmmm.
Insane
This has been a stated goal of the broligarchs for a long time. It will be interesting to see what Wall Street thinks of this yarvinesque, project 2025 bullshit!
Who wants this?
They need to be stopped!
Sacking Ft Knox
So his million dollar checks would be useless in his new utopia?
The saps who took the checks haven't caught on. Shhhhhh!
😂. But for all our sakes I do hope they understand. Something has to break through
No one wants this.
Wish that was true.
Not a lot of people want tariffs, the experts (90%+) are strongly against them, they'll probably crater the economy, and Trump doesn't really have the authority unilaterally to impose them. We're getting them anyway.
I did!
I read the transcript and didn’t see anything about ending the US Dollar or Peter Thiel or David Sacks. Don’t get me wrong, fuck Musk, but let’s report on the things that are factual…??? (YES, he did say end the Fed, which is fucking ridiculous.)
The Network State Coup is Happening Right Now Musk's attempt to destroy the United States government isn't random chaos. It's the methodical execution of the "network state" blueprint. www.thenerdreich.com/the-network-...
So he magically invent some new crypto, gives himself a few billion of it, and then tosses out some crumbs so that the poor citizenry can fight over the rest?
They just count on their audience being morons and they’re never disappointed. That should scare the he11 out of everyone
Any way I can get into a long position in guillotines and associated trades?
These people are cooked.
Sounds financially…apocalyptic.
Musk is a cancer.
That's an insult to cancer, how dare you ;P
It is
I would think this would be blowing up everywhere, but I find nothing about it in any news source, and all that is shared here is a still image. Is there a link to the video?
“It’s time to “end the Fed,” Musk said” www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
jesus christ what a dork. he's standing there like a rockstar wearing a fucking tricorner hat made of fake cheese
“That’s got to be the worst cheese pirate I have ever seen.” “…so it would seem.”
Keta-Icarus is flying high
This is FAR from the first time I’ve read about the plan for America to cease to be the reserve currency, & going to crypto
I’ve seen blurbs about it before, too. Thanks for the Politico link, tho it only quotes him saying “It’s time to end the Fed” and not the rest.
There’s plenty going on eg www.bbc.com/news/article... www.reuters.com/technology/t... chicagomaroon.com/44786/news/t... newrepublic.com/article/1857...
Much as I hate Elmo, the word "crypto" doesn't even appear in this article. Check the other comments here. It appears that he only said we should end the Fed. I mean, not that that's not bad enough, but I for one am trying to verify before I add more fuel to the fire of my outrage. 😮💨
Sorry I didn’t provide a complete bibliography 🙄 There’s plenty going on eg www.bbc.com/news/article... www.reuters.com/technology/t... chicagomaroon.com/44786/news/t... newrepublic.com/article/1857...
Nobody is saying the ideas haven’t been presented or is criticizing you. The original skeet claims Skum said things in that specific speech that he did not say. That’s all.
Thank you for your kindness. Everyone's on a hair trigger these days.
NVM that's going to be ABSOLUTELY catastrophic to the US economy... The fact that it IS the reserve currency for most of the world shields it from a lot of... issues...
So the US is close to defaulting on loans within the next month. They have to raise the debt ceiling or we risk defaulting on our credit as a country.
You realize that happens every year or two at most, right? It’s always a political football, whoever is the minority party seeks concessions before allowing the debt ceiling to increase.
And aren't our bonds promised in Dollars?
They are indeed...
I’ll give you a $1m dollars and then make them worthless! 🤦🏼♀️
They want “freedom cities” as described in techno cra cy.
He definitely said "End the Fed" which is standard rightwing nuttery, but the rest feels like an extrapolation by the poster.
That’s what I’m guessing.
What could go wrong?
He says plenty enough stupid/illegal/racist/outrageous shit without making up crap. Muddying the facts only helps Elon.
That’s not muddying the facts. Those are the facts. That’s an end game move if he said it and includes those two people with him.
He didn't say it.
He and they have said it but maybe not tonight. It’s important.
The irony of having "Combat Disinfo" in your name & arguing me on this is some kind of special. The thing to do if you actually want ppl to believe/understand: A - Tonight Elon said "close the fed". B - Previously Elon has said "insert accurate quote here" A + B = here's why this is important
Stop this madness 🤬🤬🤬
I mean at that point they won't really have a cudgel to actually hit people with to keep them from just ditching the US.
Who the fck does he think he is! Let’s hope the stupid maga see just who and what he is
Bye, America.
And then the US dollars that those people hold in their wallets and checking accounts will be worth ... what exactly?
you can watch the whole thing here: www.c-span.org/program/publ...
Timestamp for when he's supposed to say this? Cant find a source other than this post
sorry, I'm not gonna sit and watch any of Musk's bullshit.
Here is the clip. It's obvious to anyone paying attention that's what he wants to do, but here's what he actually said:
I made it to “seems like a lot” and had to quit. What a disingenuous fuckface
The first thing they're going to do with it is clean our our bank accounts. Probably just straight up close women's accounts.
And anyone who says things they don't like.
DONALD TRUMP IS NOT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Elon Musk is and DT is his Little puppet. DT is the loud speaker and Musk is the deal maker. Holy sh*t.
WHO THE FUCK IS HE?
It’s like he’s trying to be the person Trump throws under the bus when the shit hits the fan. And it’s going to be sooner than later.
It worked SO WELL in El Salvador
I mean... I guess I'd ask if he could enunciate a little better for all the 30 second ads the democrats will make out of this.
Fuck this dumbass white guy.
Why is this strategy attractive to anyone? I thought he was trying to gain voters?
Someone needs to k......
keep his ass out of politicss yes yes
Gee I wonder what WI rally goers thought about that dumb idea 😵💫
As long as Trump gets a piece then he’ll let them do whatever they want.
Terrifying. Why are not 100% of all Americans terrified of this. Why!
Because at least 31% of you are gormless MAGA fools, the rest I don't know...
What the actual fuck?
🤦🏻♀️
"South African billionaire" should be the mandatory description.
Why would anyone wake up in the morning, have a cup of coffee, step out onto the front steps and say, "let's blow this all up and live in a state of anarchy."?
It’s been the wet dream of Yarvin, Thiel, & all these techdudebroligarchs for years - it dovetailed w/ the toxic capitalist & racist/sexist bent the GOP’s led for years
Also prior to that with the Musk family's "Technocracy Inc" masturbatory fantasy (they're basically just swapping out the scientists who were going to be in charge for CEOs...)
Because life would be so enjoyable if we were locked in an hour by hour struggle for scarce resources.
666 beast system
What was the exact quote?
. 🚨Wake up America- Get In The Streets! ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/dawn...
These three South Africans need a dam good flogging - they don't have a dam clue - If this total bs is allowed, he will cripple the country - and there will be no way to pick up the pieces after that. Just No -
Lets send this ass-hole packaging - We are not going to be ruled by these PayPal boys - and their shocking agenda - Elon Musk can get F’Ked-
South Africans are making a lot of these truly disgraceful decisions that are punishing all of us - I posted an article about the lot of them - Are we going to accept the cruelty of Peter Theil who has a very cruel agenda for us all who didn't go to Harvard We should be grateful for his crumbs - 🤬🤬🤬
These fks are really out to screw everyone over aren't they?
NOPE! Go away Muskie ….back to where you came from.
This has been their plan all along. They must be stopped before they destroy the wealth of our entire nation. Time to pull the ketamine plug on these delusional intruders.
It’s not going to end well for the Swasticar salesman and Felon47 and all their henchmen. It’s not going to be pretty.
Great to hear this from the Boss: President Elon Mu$k.
Notice how they (global reactionary movement) are closing borders to free trade while globalizing the currency. Trapping labor and globalizing ownership.
The reason these dopewads have the money that they do is BECAUSE OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE!
He sucks bad enough already man you don’t have to make shit up
What could possibly go wrong with that plan? I suggest they all take a ship to Mars, settle there and create their own personal Utopia experiment and leave America out of it. 😡
Because they can't control the money supply, but there are finite limits on the quantity of crypto, so they can control the crypto supply.
Is there a link to video of him saying this? I'd like to share it
He doesn't. Scott Horton's comment is completely made up. CSPAN has a searchable video transcript of the entire event. The comment about the Federal Reserve starts at 00:59:01. www.c-span.org/program/publ... Musk is an idiot but we don't need to pass along lies.
Apparently not from a journalist!
You all best pay attention to what candidates Peter Thiel is backing. He’s deep in the background but yet easy to spot. AOC’s ex chief of staff that’s running in California.. and I get the dames vibes from “Kat”. The newest lefty’s dream.. eyes wide open
Meanwhile every Republican in Congress could stop all of this instantly if they collectively realized this is going to utterly destroy our entire country
Um, no.
Frightening.
A lot of people suspected this. This will break the economy of the U.S., as well as many other countries. Just so they can destroy everything and STEAL even more. Muck and the rest of the Broligarchs like Vance, Thiel and Sacks, are fully Satanic.
Now that's just insulting to Satan
In other words, three white South African refugees fleeing the end of apartheid promise to destroy the United States in revenge for the ending of Apartheid rule in South Africa.
Just a heads up, what the OP claimed here isn't true.
Remember how one of the first things elon and his doge shitler youth did was gut and fillet USAID?
The Swedish prime minister, Olof Palme, was anti-apartheid. He was assassinated in 1986. These fuckers do not mess around.
So you can prefer the current racist regime to apartheid. I get it. But isn’t there something in between that would be better?
Peter Thiel is a German American entrepreneur, venture capitalist.
Could say he’s a fucking cunt, and type less.
He lived in South Africa before his family moved to America.
yes but that doesn't make him a South African
He went to school there. Lived in the culture. He lived there longer than he lived in Germany I think.
He was 10 years old before settling in Foster City, California in 1977 and when he was in South Africa, he attended a German school. Greetings from Austria
He lived in Namibia too for a bit. Another classic place to pick up bad habbits.
What in the world is that supposed to mean?
I’m happy to be proven wrong but I struggle with the idea that Germans who moved to Namibia in the 70s are that much different to the Brits I’ve met who moved to South Africa around that time and REALLY loved it.
No, you’re not wrong. I would agree with you on that.
When he lived there? I’m sure that it was a bastion of equality when it was a South African controlled territory in the 70s?
Then please be clear that you are making reference to ‘South West Africa’ under Afrikaans rule. Not modern day Namibia.
So? He’ll have lived in a nice house with staff. It will have rubbed off.
It is quite possible!
www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
I don’t see this anywhere on Google. Sure it happened?
www.c-span.org/program/publ...
They are carrying out the greatest heist in the history of the word. Trillions and trillions may be lost.
As long as Musk and Thiel get "theirs"..they are good. It matters nothing to them how others may be hurt. Musk avoids talking about increasing revenue as a solution. He only speaks of cutting cost.
This is just an experiment for Elon.The USA Govt=his shiny new toy. He wants to blow up the Federal Reserve and “try” one of his new, completely untested ideas for our entire country while stealing SSA, Fed jobs, MC,VA,etc.GOP Sen & Reps sit by while Trump hands Elon our USA on a silver platter.
👍They must be stopped. They want to rule the world
George C. Scott free
Say NO to the oligarchy.
This is total insanity! Musk needs to be stopped NOW!
This is scary stuff
For their New California and their Network State.
I was right-they’re trying to devalue the dollar and make crypto the currency for the U.S. What a terrible terrible idea. Putting Nazis in charge
That can’t be popular!
Where did he say this exactly? Or is this some shit
The latter:
Yeah at 59m here he says "end the fed", complains the fed has too many staff, makes a dumb magic 8 ball joke. The rest of this is just editorial/made up by this poster. www.c-span.org/program/publ...
There's enough bad shit going on that people don't need to do this sort of misleading post.
100,000%.
Ask Argentina how that's going
Musk doesn't need Ketamine, he gets high on his own farts.
If your farts had that much residual ketamine in them, you'd get high on them too.
😂😂😂😂😂 So very true - This guy is insane -
I don't see this in the transcript I think it's fake. www.c-span.org/program/publ...
Scroll down the page to the transcript, there's a search box you can use to confirm it's not something he said.
He says straight up he wants end the federal reserve. OP is almost certainly correct about why whether they fully admit that or not.
@alt-text.bsky.social
Sure. And had the post clarified that he had said "end the fed", and made it clear why the poster thought he said that, the post would not be as deceptive.
It's not deceptive. Go find something better to do with your time. I'm going to.
I'm not sure he would admit to getting high from either ketamine or his own farts in the town hall.
Yeah at 59m here he says "end the fed", complains the fed has too many staff, makes a dumb magic 8 ball joke. The rest of this is just editorial/made up by this poster. www.c-span.org/program/publ...
Years of ketamine use have kind of congealed into his farts, the way acid can deposit within a body and randomly release with overuse.
Please link the source. There are two clips from that rally by @acyn.bsky.social here on Bluesky, both don't match. Perhaps he has posted more on Twitter?
So will the USA unilaterally declare that all its USD debt is re-denominated in Trump Coins? That should be interesting. And here I thought it was going to be rubles. Silly me.
Rot in hell elon
That should go over well in Wisconsin. Maybe ban cheese too.
Ketamine is obviously taking a toll on Musk. Now it's ready to take a toll on the rest of us.
Enough is enough! Wake up and rise! This is the whole ball of wax.
Super Stupid!
That was the first action taken by radical Christians in The Handmaid's Tale.
Further down the replies, this is labeled mostly FALSE. I would like to see more confirmation and links to sources for claims like this. I don't want to be ANYONE'S useful idiot. And I don't want to have to hunt down sources to verify someone else's claims. I'm not asking a lot.
Hello Scott?
💯
i think Elon should talk more. we should have him on the air 3 hours a day.
SERIOUSLY.
If it's just musk passing intellectual farts it's no biggie but I'm afraid these tech bros are deadly serious about this CURTIS YARVIN RON PAUL fever dream. It would literally atomize the current economic system throwing millions of people into the gutter especially at risk seniors & disabled
Yep...They say if you don't like your techno-feudal, you can "vote with your feet.". But can you take any assets/resources with you? And they don't mention that they can pick, choose, and dispose. They are sick people.
In 2015, free advertising for a man whose defining financial achievement is bankrupting a casino went so well for us. Everybody agrees he's stupid and harmless. And great for ratings.
So people want the federal government, through our elected representatives, to have less control in order to give random ultra rich campaign donors total control over monetary policy, currency, and every area that our elected representatives used to control? How exactly does this make us more free?
It makes it more free FOR THE BILLIONAIRE OLIGARCHS. The middle-class will cease to exist, you'll end up with two classes, the rulers and the serfs. Welcome to new-feudalism, with a side of techno-fascist surveillance state.
NOBODY WANTS THIS
WTAF??!!!
Every time you think things can't get more stupid...
When the FDIC gets shut down and 1000's of small banks fail, Americans may finally wake up. #endtheregime
Musk imported Texans to go door to door to speak with Wisconsin voters in support of the Republican candidate in a Wisconsin election. Texas has a measles outbreak, untreated.
Vote for Susan Crawford & other Democrats on April 1. Vote to defend & protect democracy. Polls open 7 a.m. - 8 p.m. Photo ID required. Vote NO to R-backed voter ID constitutional amendment. WISCONSIN IS NOT FOR $ALE, ELON. And your $20 million pet, Knee Pad Brad, is Supremely unqualified.
And it shall be known as … Bancor
No thanks.
So he wants to turn the US into a crypto casino? Can't wait for this piece of shit to have his assets seized, citizenship revoked, and be thrown out of our country
Where are the Secret Service agents to EXECUTE HIM for threatening our treasury?
Elon never learns
these white supremacists will absolutely destroy the country to line their own pockets
FUCKING-A!
bsky.app/profile/aaro...
There it is. Now saying what was well known out loud.
This whole thing hasn’t been a coup, it’s a robbery.
All that and the whiny little twat thinks he's Patton. Weird.
Saw this coming. Scam artists every damn one of them
Can’t wait until Cletus in West Virginia is told that he has to use X to pay for the gas in his huge pick up truck
I hate Musk, but he didn’t say any of this…
Money laundering
That's his plan to become the first trillionaire.
in case anyone in Wisconsin thought the election was about their state courts.
Vote for Susan Crawford & other WI Democrats on April 1. Vote to defend & protect democracy. Polls open 7 a.m. - 8 p.m. Photo ID required. Vote NO to R-backed voter ID constitutional amendment. WISCONSIN IS NOT FOR $ALE, ELON. And your $20 million pet, Knee Pad Brad, is Supremely unqualified.
Money is the root of all evil.
I believe that he wants this. I have a harder time believing that he spoke that desire aloud in those exact words without him hitting the ground before the echoes of the words faded.
Be very, very scared.
Let us stipulate this man in certifiably insane. Every Republican Senator must act NOW to put a stop to this.
You have got to be kidding me! And people like this?!? Are we in the upside down? 🤦🏼♀️
Why is he having a rally at all?
to encourage people to vote in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election on Tuesday.
He is not elected to anything.
And he calls *Social Security* a ponzi scheme.
He had to pay them $1 million to make them stay and listen to this absolute drivel. Very sad stuff.
I wish the broligarchs never came to USA - and that would leave our country and never return - now would be a good time!
No. Never. Absolutely not.
My god ...
Leon keeps painting circles on that target on his back.
Now, if only somebody would TAKE THE DAMN SHOT...
Ikr?
Love this for you guys. Great idea! The collapse of the U.S. is starting to be rather entertaining lol
www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7kQ... He doesn't know the distinction between Congress and the Cabinet. Scary. It doesn't matter to him.
😡😡😡😡😡 Fuck 'em all.
They'd like to, sure. But it seems to me that the longer he goes on in such an unhinged vein, the worse his (and Trump's) approval ratings become. I mean, even a hardcore MAGAt is going to be dubious about "getting rid of the US dollar."
I think Musk holding an event in WI is a massive own-goal, despite his bribes. His ego can’t comprehend that he’s reviled, and he’s going to motivate more Dems to vote. I think his right-wing candidate is going to get crushed.
@bjkeefe.bsky.social No. They are too stupid. They'll swallow it.
Some will, sure. That's why we say they're in a cult, after all. But there's the hardcore, and then there are all those others, at various distances from the core. And the outer layers will tend to flake off.
They won’t even hear about it, only their favorite news programs clapping and cheering and deflecting blame. They live in a completely different reality.
True for some, sure. But there are going to be others who watch Elno, out of a sense of worship or curiosity or whatever. There will even be wingnut news shows broadcasting him, out of approval! So the word will leak out, at least to some.
They are going to kill the US dollar in steps that maga is too stupid to understand, so maga will be cheering this every step of the way.
You can’t kill a currency in steps. There is no boiling that frog
You would think, but so far, I haven’t seen any bottom to the ridiculous 💩 that MAGAs will go along with when it comes to their orange-colored Jesus.
As I said elsewhere: some will, sure. That's why we say they're in a cult, after all. But there's the hardcore, and then there are all those others, at various distances from the core. And the outer layers will tend to flake off.
Thieves, they just want to make a profit off of us.

Con artist plying his trade!
Well. We’re fucked.
Tesla must be ground to dust. ASAP.
Aren’t we way beyond the point where America reminds itself that Musk was not elected? Why is he in charge of anything?
I hope the dumbasses aren't okay with this.
We are living in a Bond movie
Apartheid Coin
I mean, that was basically the original Krugerrand
He realizes that this is the kind of thing that will end up with he, Thiel, and Sacks swinging from lampposts, right?
What happened to that Hitler fellow, anyway? He died a dignified death, right?
Mussolini? Stalin? Ceausescu? They all died dignified and not at all in embarrassing ways, right?
Sooner than later, please...
Not soon enough.
Another ketamine fueled fantasy.
He has no fuckin authority for any of this. He's destroying this country.

Oh the insanity.

I'm sure this will go well.🤦🙄
What could possibly go wrong?

Hell No
Owning the currency system was the first scene in The Handmaids Tale.
I re-watched season five of the handmaid's Tale last week to get ready for the new season. Season five was in 2022. It's freakishly on point for what is happening right now with Canada. I can't imagine how season six could be any worse than real life right now. It will be interesting to see.
I have not been able to watch any of it. The scene in the book where they fire all the women haunts me. (Edited 11:02 PM via @skeetsapp.com)
They’re getting close.
Them and what army?
When billionaires win, families lose
Where is the CEO of Wells, BofA? Don they want to see a run on banks? We can move to credit unions and independent banks and decentralize our stock and liquid assets the way we did for a hundred years before deregulation.
Does he really think that is a winning message ?
I guess it is with the crowd at the event.Terrifying.
Imagine what the bond market will do if these Bitcoin Bros were able to end the Federal Reserve.
As much as I believe that Elon WANTS this to be an outcome, this is a highly misleading post. He doesn't say much beyond "End the Fed"... We don't need to be exaggerating the absurdity. The absurdity is enough.
The tech bros almost always propose crypto as the alternative. Anyone paying attention knows what the next part in that two step process would be. Also, it's in Project 2025 and they've followed that to a T.
He can’t shut down the fed.
who will stop him?
This should rattle the markets and push us into a major recession.
That would be cause the worst economic chaos and collapse in US history.
Yep that the plan. I wouldn’t have believed it a month ago, but now reading up on sovereign individuals of network states, it’s what they’re trying to do pretty obviously.
what
Did they cheer for this?
