Tesla mogul will head up Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Vivek Ramaswamy, to ‘dismantle bureaucracy and slash regulations’
…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.
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, Elaine 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.
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.
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.
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.
You assume those who didn’t vote, would vote for Harris. An unfounded assumption
I’m sorry, but if I completely skip evaluating Harris to make this easier… I would vote for a box of pizza before tRump.
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.
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.
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!
Just bulldoze the whitehouse and erect a circus tent
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.
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.
Someone do something to this fuck
I feel like I fell in a parallel universe with the dumbest possible timeline sometime in the mid 2010s
Tesla mogul will head up Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Vivek Ramaswamy, to ‘dismantle bureaucracy and slash regulations’
Kabosu didn’t die for this
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.
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.
And “efficiency” directly translates to “maximizing human exploitation” for Elon. I mean holy crap what has the US elected themselves into?
