41. Musk needs a civics lesson
Fri Mar 14, 2025, 10:09 PM

The USA form of government is not a pure democracy. Maybe if he had gone to a good public school in the USA he would have learned this in Middle school or High school civics. These very important classes seem are being dropped as a requirement in many areas of the country. So important to learn. We vote for people to represent us.

Also
Our Constitution and amendments to the constitution with laws following on those stipulations are set up in an attempt to keep the majority from oppressing the minority. Otherwise a majority could creat laws that are really unfair to the people on the minority side of the issues. Maybe what the current people in power appear to be doing in opposition to the constitution.

From a google query:
The US government, a federal republic, is structured with a separation of powers among three branches: legislative (Congress), executive (President), and judicial (federal courts), as defined in the Constitution.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Federal Republic:
The United States is a federal republic, meaning power is divided between a central (federal) government and individual state governments.
Three Branches of Government:
Legislative Branch: This branch, composed of the Congress (Senate and House of Representatives), is responsible for making laws.
Executive Branch: Led by the President, this branch enforces laws and is responsible for foreign policy and national security.
Judicial Branch: This branch, headed by the Supreme Court, interprets laws and ensures they are applied fairly.

It seems he and other do not want to follow this structure
