Tesla mogul will head up Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Vivek Ramaswamy, to ‘dismantle bureaucracy and slash regulations’
Creating a second department to do something there already is a department for so you can have funni name is peak efficiency.
And two heads instead of one? Peak efficiency!
…and slash regulations. I know this has always been their goal but damn. He doesn’t even need anything more, he has almost everything money can buy, and he thought, “ok, I have to try to buy the government”.
When you have this much money, the life is just a game
This is beginning to sound a lot like Cyberpunk. Corporations act like governments while NUSA takes a backseat.
Mike Pondsmith just extrapolated the trends he saw in the society - corporatism, drugs, plastic surgeries, stress, crime, prostitution. He just pushed these things to the extreme and put in scifi setting. This isn’t just Trump thing, this is happening for decades now.
c/PondsmithWasRight? Anyone?
Well he can build rockets faster than he can get approval to launch them.
Because launching a rocket isn’t without consequence. Shouldn’t just launch willy nilly every day because you have it, there are other factors (environment, structural damage, etc)to consider which he does not care about.
For a good reason. Approvals are thorough because they are the accumulation of our learnings throughout the decades and centuries.
I don’t know if you’re meaning to justify his actions or what, but let’s not do that justification thingy when it’s completely unjustified.
The drug adled guy who caused Twitter to lose 85% of its value and to become a racist hate filled Russian propaganda machine?
This should be good.
Xitter is worth as much as it was estimated before he paid an absurdly over market price for it but it won’t matter because he got what he wanted out of it and will make all that money back by siding with fascism. So in reality, Xitter didn’t lose any money, Elon just threw away a bunch of billions to make even more later and it worked. America chose this.
I think you give Musk WAY too much credit.
Just bulldoze the whitehouse and erect a circus tent
Wtf is up with this timeline?
We’re in the one where Biff takes the Almanac back to the past.
Makes even more sense when you realize Biff was based on Donald Trump!
This feels more and more like a self-fulfilling prophecy of the worse kind
In that timeline, Loraine shot Biff, causing old Biff to slowly fade once he got back to 2015. It wasn’t explicit in the final cut, but you can see him in pain when he leaves the Delorean.
So, is Melania going to shoot Trump?
USA doing normal business.
Being in a functional union was nice while it lasted.
50+% America, you’ll get what you wanted. Also those who didn’t vote will get what they deserve.
Since only somewhere around 65% of people voted and Trump got almost half the votes that means approximately 2/3rds of Americans are at least okay with having Trump as president and fascists in power.
Not everyone that didn’t vote supports this. Some people just couldn’t get the day off because they’re living day by day and couldn’t take a day off to wait in line for 5 hours at the one polling place in their city.
Now tell us your thoughts on latinos that don’t agree with you. What do you hope happens to them?
Lotta libs soundin real fuckin evil lately
i’ll bite.
i hope they get exactly what they voted for.
Lol. How brave /s
Show your true colors y’all! Finally, you can stop pretending you truly care about struggling Americans that don’t share the same values as you - coincidentally, exactly like your slightly more racist/white-supremacist neighbors
Hopefully we can at least admit rural folks are absolutely correct in feeling like we hate them. I mean, that still won’t win us any elections but it’s a step in the right direction - one towards a more honest party
Understanding that people regularly vote against their own interest and then gleefully celebrate them doing so… You are also sounding real fucking evil bud.
You assume those who didn’t vote, would vote for Harris. An unfounded assumption
Inaction makes you complicit. Not voting does not give you any moral high ground, especially when one of the people being voted for is a fascist. These people would rather let fascism run free and wait for a golden unicorn instead of making slow and steady progress with imperfect candidates.
I’m sorry, but if I completely skip evaluating Harris to make this easier… I would vote for a box of pizza before tRump.
10 million less votes for Democrats and only 5000000 more votes for trump since last election. Yes I assume a large portion would have.
In states where they don’t matter by in large. It’s a weird complaint to be honest, of people didn’t vote they either had a reason or weren’t engaged and that isn’t exactly their fault.
I think its ok if someone doesnt vote. I also think they forfeit their right to complain.
I feel like I fell in a parallel universe with the dumbest possible timeline sometime in the mid 2010s
Isn’t this kinda a conflict of interest
Pretty sure having one or more conflicts of interest is a requirement for Republicans and their allies.
Wait until you realize that it’s not just Republicans….
You know that’s kind of the point with the whole MAGA thing. They’re picking up exactly where they left off in 2020 with thundering applause.
Yes, but the only people with the power to stop them have a conflict of interest too.
It is. Elon licks Trumps butt because SpaceX space missions, and Trump licks Elons butt because of Twitter.
95% chance they will serve themselves and not the public for sure.
100% chance
It’s not, since it isn’t an official actual government department, even if it will act as one.
Unrelated, but can I block keywords on the desktop site, too? The less I see of this fucker the better
You mean me or Elon?
I meant Elon. Sorry if that wasn’t clear
No no, feel free to block me too. Most people here hate me for my opinions :)
I’ve got no reason to hate you; I don’t even know you.
He didn’t ask you, he told you to do it.

Someone do something to this fuck
How many senators or house members do we need to lobby to stop this?
More importantly, how do I get into a position to even begin attempting to lobby them?
Lobbying against the rich lobbying with more money to take down restrictions that will free up more money for them. Maybe I’m just a bit bleak about it all, but my pessimism can’t see how it would work.
Because it wouldn’t. Citizen advocacy groups can’t even get facetime with these ghouls.
The boys from K-Street tho? They got them on speed dial.
The man who’s cars kill people, should be in charge of efficiency. Perfect. Everything goes so much better when massive numbers of people die. Melon Head Musk is such a waste of DNA.
Hey, it’s not only his cars that kill people, his assembly lines kill them too! And now he’ll be in charge of all the assembly lines.
Kabosu didn’t die for this
