Musk targets CFPB via twitter post (natch)

[WEATHER53]

Thinkers don’t need these hand holding protections. They are designed for dummies who don’t know what they are doing and need mommy to keep them out of trouble

Tommy approved his dummy label. He must have protections or he will throw his money away

Trump needs to give Elon his walking papers like he did Bannon.

I have a feeling that Trump is beholden to Musk and will NOT be able to simply jettison him when he no longer suits his purposes.

"DOGE will not have official government powers. As an autonomous entity, DOGE itself does not have authorities to issue rules, rescind regulations, terminate federal employees or enforce federal laws. But, behind the scenes, DOGE is expected to wield significant influence.

According to its leaders, DOGE will identify issues and make recommendations to the White House, agency leaders and Congress for action. In particular, DOGE leaders say they will work closely with the existing Office of Management and Budget, the President’s office charged with budget development, oversight of agency performance and financial management, and coordination of federal regulations. It is expected that the issues that DOGE draws attention to will receive intense focus by government leaders.

Further, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, which remains under Republican control, announced that it intends to create a subcommittee that would work directly with DOGE. Presumably, this coordination would serve as a channel for DOGE to make recommendations that result in congressional investigations and/or legislative proposals."

Trump 2.0: A First Look at the Department of Government Efficiency

Elon Musk says he and Trump have 'mandate to delete' regulations. Ethics laws could limit Musk role

Elon Musk's leadership roles in companies with substantial government contracts have raised discussions about potential conflicts of interest, especially considering his advisory positions in government efficiency initiatives. Ethics experts suggest that Musk's direct involvement in regulatory matters affecting his businesses could lead to conflicts unless appropriate measures, such as divestiture or recusal, are implemented.​

Pocohantas put the CFPB under the Fed so it was outside the executive branch.

The CFPB needs to be eliminated, period, full stop.

Thank you Elon!!

Why? Do you see Elon Musk stabbing Trump in the back at some point in time, like some of Trump's former cabinet picks did during his first term? Musk is very intelligent and shows no signs that he's not on board with what Trump wants to accomplish.

The left absolutely hates Elon Musk because he's rich, because of how he turned Twitter into a forum for free speech, and because he's now aligned with Trump. And it's pretty evident by way of the left's unrelenting denigration of him that they'd love nothing more than to drive a wedge between them. Except they don't understand that like Trump. Musk isn't susceptible to pressure, nor can he be bought off or intimidated.

There's always the possibility that the two might eventually have an ideological falling out and part ways, but up until that time, he's a very useful asset to the Trump presidency, unlike those in Trump's circle who could be manipulated or threatened.

I guess we'll just have to see how things play out but no, that's not what I meant

Then what did you mean? If I'm not mistaken, most of what you've posted in this thread has been disparaging toward Musk.

He is right….standing up for consumer rights terrorizes financial institutions

What? Where do you get that idea from. Bannon’s “War Room” is essential to the Trump propoganda machine!

 

[rightwinger]

I'm not the one whose primary election vote was yanked away from me and someone I didn't even vote for shoved down my throat. And unlike 14 million of you poor saps, my primary election vote was actually counted.

That sure was some industrial strength Jim Crow shit your party pulled on you chumps.

Our candidate stepped down and his VP stepped in

Only Republicans complained

I thhink that Musk has recognised that Trump is malleble and he has his number. Just like Kim and Putin. I dont see it being a long term relationship.

I’m sure that’s what Musk thinks. He is convinced of his own genius.

Trump has effectively sidelined him, and Ramaswammy, plus a few other supplicants. There is no commission. It’s just Musk running his mouth for the cameras.

Ther is only one star in the Trump show. Elon Musk doesn’t know that yet.

What do you think I've said that's disparaging against Musk? If Trump actually were beholden to him, that would not be a dig at Musk, it's just pointing out that even if one does not exist, that there is an appearance of a quid pro quo situation between them.

Musk did after all, help Trump get elected.

Magaturds = arrogant, ignorant entitled imbeciles that complain about anything and everything.

Also magaturds = wonders why half the country can't stand them.

Trump can nominate anyone he wants as a cabinet member, as long as he feels that person is qualified for the job. It's not like Musk is going to pay him for the cabinet position, Trump is already wealthy.
