You're happy with a James Bond villain telling trump what to do?

What exactly has Musk done or said he is going to do that makes him a Bond villain?

 

[BULLDOG]

He's the world's richest man planning to gut federal budgets of virtually every agency where he stands to personally profit potentially billions. The only thing missing is a young naked dead girl in the trunk of a car, and a cool theme song. That chore might be why they keep Matt Gaetz is around. Not sure who is doing the theme song.

1. His wealth has little to nothing to do with this.

2. He and Ramaswamy have said they want to cut waste. Is that a bad thing?

3. He has zero power to cut anything. DOGE isnt a government agency. It can investigate and recommend. Even if Trump agrees with the recommendations he cant unilaterally just cut the things out of the budget without an act of Congress.

4. You are just fear mongering.

5. You have zero issue with Soro's activities......

Im sure you are against the support of the war in Ukraine and the expansion of NATO as the sole purpose of that expansion is to funnel money to the weapons companies. Right?

1. Trump will agree with everything they say. That's why he chose them.
2. Trump literally owns the republicans in the house and the senate. When he says jump, they ask how high.
3. His right wing think tank chosen Supreme Court won't prevent anything he wants. They already made him above the law.

Wrong, but what I want doesn't make much difference either way. The implementation of Musk's plan has already begun. I'm just anonymously posting on a dumb discussion board.

The idea of Musk and Ramaswami being handed the ability to make drastic changes in how our country works. terrifies me. They are both well accomplished, but not in the disparate areas they will be modifying. However, I just read that one of their first goals will be the elimination of Daylight-Saving Time. That's not a bad idea. It serves no purpose that I know of and is a drastic inconvenience in so many ways. I can support that particular goal. I'm still not comfortable with them being given such a broad mandate, but I expected much more disruption from their first ideas. I guess we will see what happens.

People ( with lots of money) who move from one country to another in the sole interest of making more money,
& then move again to our country for the same reason. Are they really Americans??

They are loyal to profit over country.

Yeah and?

Could be in our best interest to see WHO implemented some of the nutty stuff we have to live with.
And not just focus on the OTHER political PARTY.
All sides need too be called out when not working for us.

 

[Concerned American]

Trump will agree with everything they say.

So what? He has no power to unilaterally change anything. You morons really should have paid attention in Civics class. Next you'll be claiming Trump controlled congress while Biden was in office. SMH.

Once again it will likely be YET ANOTHER example of liberal "the sky is falling... TRUMP!! TRUMP!!" than what actually happens.
Anyone who has any experience dealing with the federal government knows all too well that it is the most bloated, top-heavy wasteful and inefficient entity in world history.

It needs paring.
BAD

He doesn't have to. All he has to do is tell his cult members in the house and senate what he wants, and they will deliver.

LOL you dont think the entire reason we have expanded NATO was to enrich weapons companies? So what exactly was the reason?

 

[Couchpotato]

1. Trump will agree with everything they say. That's why he chose them.

Trump was President and was going to be the nominee long before Musk got involved.

2. Trump literally owns the republicans in the house and the senate. When he says jump, they ask how high.

LOL No he doesn't. There is a certain subset of them that would vote for anything he threw up there but that's probably not even a majority of the guys currently in the House and Senate and the Republican majority is slim to begin with.

3. His right wing think tank chosen Supreme Court won't prevent anything he wants. They already made him above the law.

There isnt a single government program you could cut that would be unconstitutional so why would the SCOTUS ever get involved in that? It wouldn't be unconstitutional for Congress to set the Federal Government's budget at zero outside the payroll for required positions.

No doubt expansion of NATO will be good for weapons manufacturers. Many are in the US and employ our citizens. I highly doubt that is the reason for expansion. The rest of your drivel is wrong is well.

Okay. The Unted States as using NASA has spent about 80/90 billion dollars on their Space Launch System so far up to their second launch with 4 people on board at a minimum at least a year from now. This will circle the moon. Each of the first 4 missions will cost at least 4 billion dollars each. This is the second one as the first one went around the moon and came ack to earth over a year and a half ago with no won on the Orion spacecraft. Musk is trying to get people into deep space massively cheaper. The starship he is testing right now he has spent about 6 billion dollars on. Figure it out.

Great advances. That doesn't make him qualified to gut Social Security, or healthcare.

It's why we are doing it. What else is there to gain by expanding NATO? All it does (and we've known this for decades) is piss of Russia. It doesn't make Europe more secure which was supposed to be the reason for having NATO. Russia wanted to be a member and was turned down.

Many are in the US and employ our citizens.

Have you thought through? We give Ukraine/NATO partner's tax payer money so that they can spend some percentage of it on weapons companies some of which are based in the US and some percentage of that will be used to employ US citizens. It would be cheaper to just give those people the fucking money directly.

I highly doubt that is the reason for expansion. The rest of your drivel is wrong is well.

Ok so what IS the reason then? Is Europe more or less secure by expanding NATO which only leads to pissing off the country it's supposed to secure Europe from. Is there anything in the NATO treaty which forbids the US from supporting all the countries east of Germany which we have put into NATO breaking the promise we made to Gorbachev and the Russians when he agreed to disband the USSR in the event that Russia invaded them?
