She's doing what she's been doing for the last several years. She is using the brand name recognition that the right-wing nutters have given her through their vitriol and using it to highlight whatever cause she desires to make people pay attention to.
In a very real sense they have turned her into a powerful media weapon for progressive and climate change causes. Because everywhere she goes she gets ink.
She's been doing it so long that Elon was liberal and they gave her a car to use for a US tour.
You see he wasn't actually liberal. He was kissing up to the people who buy his cars. He's not interested in actual politics or policy he just wants to fuck with regulations to be able to do what he wants with his companies without any restrictions from our government. That is was and always will be the actual purpose of DOGE.
I realized what a POS he is right during the pandemic when he had absolute fucking meltdowns about not being able to force his workers into his factories to build his fucking cars while everybody was dying from the virus in the first few months after it started rampaging across the globe.
