Money in politics is suddenly good.
Foot soldiers from three far-left nonprofits with a combined $56.1 million in annual revenue descended on Elon Musk's Austin-area home this weekend, staging what they called a "People Over Billionaires Election After Party" complete with chartered party buses, Cybertruck piñatas and a conga line.
The organizations behind the demonstration, VOCAL-TX, the Center for Popular Democracy and People's Action, are the same networks that helped launch the "Tesla Takedown" protests that turned ugly last year, leading to vandalism against Tesla vehicles and dealerships.
Their protesters pulled out the same poster, depicting a creepy, vilifying image of Musk with the message "I AM STEALING FROM YOU," that became a strategic asset distributed by a separate nonprofit network over the past year in protests nationwide.
Their tax filings reveal the scale of the professional infrastructure behind events framed as grassroots. The 2024 revenues for the groups are:
-- Center for Popular Democracy, $40.9 million
-- People’s Action Institute, $2.1 million
-- Voices of Community Activists and Leaders Inc., or VOCAL-NY, which fiscally sponsors VOCAL-TX, $13.1 million
The organizations are separate entities, and the figure doesn’t represent a shared operating budget. They say their local actions are "grassroots."
The Center for Popular Democracy had an average total compensation of $234,026, including bonuses in 2024, for its co-executive directors, according to their latest tax filings, about four times more than the $63,360 median annual earnings of full-time, year-round U.S. workers that year.
About 60 people showed up. Attendees smashed Cybertruck-shaped piñatas, carried signs reading "Texas is not for sale" and danced to Queen while organizers delivered speeches casting the event as a celebration of voters rejecting billionaire political influence.
Hard to tell which side’s productive.

Plainest English would be everyone paying the same rate.
THE IRS JUST RELEASED THE NEW 2027 🇺🇸 TAX BRACKETS. HERE'S HOW THEY WORK IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Every bracket got a little bigger to keep up with inflation, so you can earn a bit more before moving into a higher rate.
Step 1: Take what you earn and subtract the standard deduction. That part isn't taxed at all.
- Single: $16,600
- Married: $33,200
Step 2: Whatever's left gets taxed in layers.
Single filers:
- 10% on your first $12,800
- 12% on income up to $52,025
- 22% up to $109,125
- 24% up to $208,325
- 32% up to $264,550
- 35% up to $661,375
- 37% on anything above that
Married couples: the cutoffs are roughly double ($25,600, $104,050, $218,250, $416,650, $529,100, $793,650).
Example: You're single and earn $76,600. Subtract $16,600 and you're taxed on $60,000.
- 10% on the first $12,800 = $1,280
- 12% on the next $39,225 = $4,707
- 22% on the last $7,975 = $1,755
Total: about $7,742 in federal income tax, or roughly 10% of what you earned.
Even though you're "in" the 22% bracket, only your last $7,975 gets taxed at 22%.
Pol Pot. This piece of shit killed an estimated 1.7 million Cambodians between 1975 and 1979, somewhere between 25 and 33 percent of the entire population. He did this by applying an ideology to its logical conclusion. Ideology always has a conclusion; socialism's conclusion is death.
The Khmer Rouge abolished money in 1975. Completely. Banks closed. Markets dissolved. Currency became contraband. They then abolished private property, forcibly relocated urban populations to collective farms, and set central planners the task of organizing rice production for the entire nation. The result was predictable: mass starvation beside the rice fields. Planners cannot coordinate production without prices. Prices require private property and voluntary exchange.
Pol Pot studied in Paris during the 1950s, absorbing French Communist Party doctrine and Maoist agrarianism. Western universities provided the intellectual scaffolding for the killing fields. Coercion requires enforcers, tribunals, and eventually mass graves; Cambodia's are at Choeung Ek.
Every collectivist experiment reaches this same point, because central planners cannot solve what free exchange solves automatically every second of every day.

The most awful part is the sentiment. The next-most is how the alleged comedian didn’t even come up with a joke.
Dave Chappelle's sick 'joke' about Charlie Kirk's assassination has sparked fierce backlash.
"I feel f---ed up saying this. It's scary being a public speaker. And I mean, look, ever since that guy, Charlie Kirk, got murdered, and I shouldn't say this publicly, but, I feel better."
The remark came during a Madison Square Garden show for Chappelle's "Karmageddon" tour.
Now, Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika, is responding, condemning those who turn political violence into entertainment. Elon Musk, Meghan McCain and others are also speaking out.
But there's another detail drawing attention: Kirk publicly defended Chappelle after the comedian was attacked onstage in 2022.
