My thoughts on Elon Musk

[leftwinger]

Good

Then let it go through the same scrutiny that other government funded programs do.

When they get to it they might forkface.

 

[AntonToo]

If you can't support it with anything, it is hardly logical.

Cool story, now lets see if you can actually respond to my full post.

Yea…..DOGE will eventually get around to Musks contracts with the Government

Musk's problem is that he thinks he has all the answers. Yes, he's smart and yes he has a concentration span that allows him to put a lot of effort in, but a lot of these things are so complex, more complex than one person can ever hope to understand.

We live great lives compared to royalty a few centuries ago because of men like Musk. The men who built America TV series shows you that. And a percentage were nasty people. To make products for us. When you go to the market or a bakery or a restaurant, etc. thank them. And that is just food. None of them were Progressive Socialist Communists like you guys. You guys spout all of this yet are first in line for your payoffs, food and living spaces.

In terms of “efficiency” Musk did not look at programs that help his own business or his own massive government projects.
Do we really need to fund SpaceX and Starlink?

Dept. Of Defense contracted work to Musk in order to help them with launching processes.
FFA and GSA contracted him to provide better internet access and computer system upgrades.
Nobody has been able to produce any evidence of Musk taking government funds and using it for his own projects.

 

[rightwinger]

But you are insane. Finding 10 million bogus SS#s on the SS payout list or contracts costing $100s millions adding nothing of value is a far cry from Fed or State tax incentives approved by your elected bozo like Crockett..

Good point
Shows how inept and misleading DOGE is

Those SSNs were not bogus, just not cancelled
Musk made a show of implying that they were issuing checks to people older than 115.
Reality was they just had no death certificates so kept the number active. No checks were issued

Those contracts Musk attacked were not waste. Just contracts that supported things that MAGA hates……like foreign humanitarian aid, green energy, social programs

Nobody has audited how Musk is using that money.
He was exempt

Again,
Do you have proof of your wild eyed conspiracy theories?

 

[Modern Messiah]

Proof of what? Everyone knows Elon sucks on the government teat.

So no proof then.
Just childish antics
Ok then.

 

[Rawley]

Actually he fired lots of people. I'm still not sure how he got that authority.

He doesn't have the authority and he hasn't fired a single person. I thought you were smarter than that

 

[Delldude]

If he didn't understand the damage he was doing to working people, he shouldn't be in the position to harm them.

What damage?

 

[rightwinger]

Again,
Do you have proof of your wild eyed conspiracy theories?

I have proof that DOGE did not look into Musk co tracts

Idiot, what "conspiracy theories"? Musk's companies recieve billions on gov contracts, grants and subsidies.

No hairs are being split. To cut is to reduce, to eliminate is to completely remove or get rid of. One purpose of DOGE was to cut (reduce) wasteful spending.

In the government there are no programs that most Americans would agree are "waste, fraud, and abuse." There are programs that benefit people who are not rich, and that rich Republicans, who do not need thoe programs, do not like to be taxed to fund.

Suitable for framing?

How many were granted when Elon Musk was cool?

Lemme see.....how many major industries are building/selling rocket ships to NASA?

Clearly you're tight as a boiled owl.

He bought his position for $300 million dollars.

1. He donated legally to get Trump elected to save the US
2. He and Vivek agreed to run DOGE to save the US from bankruptcy by making the government more efficient and to eliminate "waste, fraud, and theft".
3. His DOGE team are amazing, they are modernizing the Federal government, especially the FAA air traffic control system, and the mule drawn paper retirement system in a PA mine, and the Treasury and DOD payment systems.

 

[Rawley]

What damage?

"an existential threat to our fundamental institutions" (aka, our gravy trains have been exposed.)

You didn't refute a single word of what you've quoted.

Musk was given immense power within our government because he put up 300 million to get Trump elected. All of Musk companies federal regulatory issues were made to disapear as soon he got that power.

He bought it - 100%.

LIAR. Prove he didn't earn every penny with legal contracts'

Musk earns his pay, unlike the Welfare queens, Medicaid scammers, and democrat criminals who setup multi-billion dollar slush funds:

Exclusive | $375B EPA slush fund handled by John Podesta gave billions to charities founded only months earlier

The EPA gave out $20 billion to environmental justice and green credit groups that had barely registered with the IRS.
