Efficiency - or empire?

Musk has an enormous corporate empire, ambitions in artificial intelligence, desire for financial power and a long-standing disdain for government oversight. His access to sensitive government systems and ability to restructure agencies, with the opaque decision-making guiding DOGE to date, have positioned Musk to extract unprecedented financial and strategic benefits for both himself and his companies, which include the electric car company Tesla and space transport company SpaceX.

Bullshit. Who's been protecting the American People from the financial predation of our own Government?

Why isn't our government doing its job and preventing monopolies? Or breaking up monopolies?


Our government is fucking worthless. If they were doing half as good of a job as idiot Krugman says they are, Democrats would be running the entire show right now.

Paul Krugman needs to crawl into a hole and die.

Nobody needs to be poisoned by his idiot thoughts anymore.

6ix, does it occur to Trumptards that they are not understanding the joke President Musk, an immigrant, is telling?

TRUMP'S WIVES WERE IMMIGRANTS -- PROVING THAT THERE ARE SOME JOBS THAT EVEN AMERICANS WON'T DO.

A sign outside a Vermont hardware store sparked more than one wave of internet outrage.

LOOK, ALL I’M SAYING IS IF ELON’S ONLY GOAL WAS TO LOOK FOR FRAUD, HE WOULD HAVE HIRED ACCOUNTANTS, NOT PROGRAMMERS.

If Elon's only job description was looking for fraud, he'd have already been named employee of the century.

We don't laugh at your jokes, because Democrats aren't funny.

We don't listen to your warnings because they are mindless drool coming out of the mouths of lobotomized MSNBC viewers.

Nobody cares about your opinion, Second. On anything.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Signed another beautiful Executive Order, finally getting rid of “Press 2 for Spanish” No more pressing 2 for Spanish. Nobody likes “Press 2 for Spanish” so we’re getting rid of it. In America we only press 2 for “MORE ENGLISH” ... NO MORE SPANISH...NO MAS ESPANOL! #commonsense

Wonderful.

This was probably my 2nd pet peeve "1st World" problem, right behind the sun going down before 5PM when we fuck with the clocks in the middle of winter.

#1 should always be implied and automatic. This is America. If you want to speak Spanish, go home.

DEI initiatives were not put in place to ensure lower-qualified minorities could get hired instead of more highly-qualified white people.
