The Tony Michaels Podcast
Independent political commentary for people who are done with the corporate media filter, billionaire bootlicking, and party-approved talking points — focused on constitutional accountability, concentrated power, and working-class democracy.
Tony Michaels delivers sharp, in-your-face coverage of American politics, democracy, constitutional power, authoritarian threats, corruption, courts, elections, media propaganda, and the working-class fight against oligarchy.
No scripts from the establishment. No pretending both sides are equal when power is being abused. Just news, accountability, and the kind of political talk built for people who still believe democracy is worth fighting for.

I Didn't Expect This From Elon Musk — Here's Why | TMP #1071
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire.
But here's the question nobody seems to be asking:
Did some of the workers get rich too?
In today's Opening Argument, I tell the story of a former Walmart employee who remembers when Sam Walton walked the aisles, knew workers by name, and gave employees a chance to own a piece of the company they helped build.
That story led me to a surprising question about SpaceX.
Not whether Elon Musk is a hero.
Not whether billionaires should exist.
But whether workers deserve a chance to share in the prosperity they help create.
If SpaceX workers received ownership in the company they helped build, that's worth talking about. Not because Elon Musk deserves praise, but because it proves something important:
Shared prosperity is possible.
The bigger question is whether it should depend on the goodwill of the billionaire at the top.
This is a story about workers, ownership, dignity, and what a square deal should look like in America.
