My thoughts on Elon Musk

schmidlap said:
How many government employees have been charged with "waste, fraud" and abuse" so far, and what did the oligarch have to do with it? It's easily quantifiable.

Please be honest.

Easily quantifiable? There is nothing easy about what DOGE is doing. The whole purpose was to identify the waste, fraud and abuse which they are doing. Secondarily, if perpetrators can be identified they will be turned over to the FBI.

DOGE is also working with Federal employees improving their ancient systems because they are the best of the best technically. If you are an American you should be ecstatic this is finally happening with a team of such exceptional people.

Glad you feel that way because Musk has commented very recently that Trump is full of shit about his "Big Beautiful Bill" and even that Trump couldn't have gotten elected without Musk.
OUCH!
So, if you're going to defend Elon and vouch for his integrity then you are in effect agree with what Musk says about Trump.
Or,
You can agree with Trump's newfound assessment of Musk.
In that case you have to ask yourself WHAT THE FUCK Trump was thinking putting Elon in charge of DOGE and letting this guy and his team of jail-bait circus freaks riff through the most secure government data bases we have.
This is gonna get interesting.

TDS is not helping you. You're all over the place ranting.

This was a huge wasted opportunity. Getting things done isn't just about WANTING to get things done, it's also about HOW you go about DOING it. And you don't do something this important and complicated like the way it was done. This was/is a goddamn circus. Par for the course for this administration.

Musk's ego, impatience and hubris didn't help. The American government is not a goddamn startup.

Not to worry, Vichy Mac, the minute he starts bankrolling his astro-turf third party, you will be on his team faster than you were with that Yang guy.

What happened to that Yang guy?

The nation is going broke because it was built on and maintains a corrupt system. Appointing grifters to stop corruption just makes it worse and thats what Musk is.

The nation is going broke because we want the government to do all this stuff for us (maybe not the other guy), and we don't want to pay for it (we want the other guy to pay for it).

Duh..... Nazis cool?

Dems say...'Make Nazi's cool again'.

“We should ultimately be trying to convince him that the Democratic Party has more of the values that he agrees with,” Khanna said. “A commitment to science funding, a commitment to clean technology, a commitment to seeing international students like him.”

Democrats are moving to embrace former Department of Government Efficiency leader Elon Musk as he publicly spats with President Donald Trump, despite many party voters and lawmakers railing against Musk for months as a "fascist" or "dictator" for taking a hatchet to the federal government's overspending and fraud within the Trump administration.

Do you think that the blowhard will now apply his efforts to destroying successful American businesses in yet another personal, petty vendetta?

.... Tesla shares tumbled 14% in trading Thursday following the very nasty and public spat between Trump and Musk.​

... But it’s not just Tesla that could be at risk. SpaceX depends on government contracts for a significant share of its revenue. And Tesla, SpaceX and Musk’s other companies, including social media platform X, artificial intelligence company xAI and brain-computer interface company Neuralink all face regulation from the federal government.​
​
In addition, Musk faces possible investigations of his own activities from agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is looking into whether he violated rules when purchased his initial stake in X, then called Twitter, ahead of launching his takeover bid for the company.​
​
Trump appeared to threaten that he would take such action against Musk, as he posted on his Truth social media platform Thursday that, “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”​

Meanwhile, the MAGAts are in a tizzy!
