The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is no more.

It was created by Congress, not the executive. It is funded by the Fed, not the Treasury. By law, the president cannot shut it down. But Elon Musk has shut it down.

It protected consumers from lawless predation by the finance industry. cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog

@gleick And no one willing to stand up to this bullshit. It's going to come down to the mob I fear, but at that point and will be getting what that deserve.

@gleick Do you have a source for that?

The homepage returning a 404 (while every other page works fine) is hardly definitive evidence.

@gleick The CFPB still exists in statute and in authorized funding. Whether it can operate right now is a separate issue. I am wary of pronouncements that give the current regime the ability to define reality.

@gleick Don't worry, Elon was not elected but he did pay Donald some money for his power over the U.S.
Thats fair isn't it.
In other countries it would be called corruption but in U.S. it is the American dream?
