Summary

Billionaires like Marc Andreessen, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy are spreading false claims to discredit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a federal agency protecting consumers from fraud and abuse.

Andreessen falsely accused the CFPB of politically motivated “debanking,” despite no evidence.

This rhetoric aligns with the “DOGE” project, led by Musk and Ramaswamy, which aims to slash government regulations and programs under the guise of efficiency.

Critics warn this effort will harm public services, benefit billionaires, and push privatization at the expense of ordinary Americans.

    You think big companies are going to treat you better once law and order is out of their way? You’re going to face more hardship than ever before.

      Yeah, but private businesses won’t be arresting them for doing crack or meth or heroin or w/e. Just firing them for it showing up on a urine test, or just because they feel like it or w/e.
