“There are no silver bullets.”
That’s the easy most accessible piece of Wisdom in Business there is.
Of course, Trump hasn’t actually learned that lesson, because his whole style is to ride the wave and hope for the best, not to actually think about things, before or after, which is why he’s so easy to manipulate by others and why you get things like him chickening out so often that there is now the TACO trade.
Multiple people who have worked for him describe him as “fucking stupid”.
As much as I’d love to see Musk be on the next rocket, functional or not, to Mars, I also expect Trump to take 0 responsibility for any negative outcome and all credit for any positive downfall regardless of his actual involvement no matter how remote.
Like he said that the good parts of the economy are because of him and the bad parts are because of Biden.
I hope all those who voted for him and are getting fucked over by this stupidity are satisfied. Enjoy your misery you clowns!
Sucks for everyone else who saw the obvious idiocy though.
Lmao
Horrific. He actually is just a useful idiot.
Awww, no, mommy and daddy are lying, not fighting.
As if he didn’t know it was all bullshit.
He knew, he was in on it and now trying to distance himself when it becomes unpopular.
Project 2025? What’s that? I’ve never heard of that and I don’t know anything about it!
On the one hand yeah that entirely possible. On the other hand, Trump clearly suffers from dementia, and he just may not know what the fuck is going on at any given moment and tries to go with it, failing constantly and his staff is failingly trying to cover it all up every time.
No. That’s giving him far too much credit and giving him a pass for the evil. This isnt the confusion of an old man, it’s evil by design. Nobody gets a pass, especially not him.
I think that certain mental issues just breaks down whatever filter was there, that thing stopping them saying what they truly feel.
I know I should not say this, because people will lash out at me or may hurt my brand… but as soon as the dementia sets in all bets are off, the filter is gone and whatever evil is contained comes forward.
People need to stop making the claim of dementia or Alzheimer’s, they guy is just a spoiled rich old bitch, it doesn’t require a disorder. Stop making excuses for his behavior, he was just raised by shitty rich people to be a shitty rich person and he’s just too fucking old.
He has always been an asshole, I’m not saying it’s the dementia, I’m saying whatever filters he had are being broken down by dementia (from my limited understanding of it).
He is an asshole, always was an asshole, this is nothing new.
He is an entitled, horrible orange shit and the way he rambles on about nothing on stage and cannot keep focused seems to point to his mental decline.
He has somewhat been backed into a corner.
Does he:
- admit that Elon bullshitted him, tricked him, the master negotiator and businessman?
- admit that he has no idea what is going on?
I think Elon’s drop in popularity and recent hate has become too much to keep him around.
He was a useful tool at the time, I don’t think the whole DOGE thing was actually there to do good, just to ride Elon’s popularity to a win and then shape the government the way they wanted to take advantage and then toss him aside when they achieved their goals.
But also, yes, I believe that Dementia Don’s mind is checking out fast.
He’s like racist old grandpa who has lost his mind and on autopilot now, mumbling about shit nobody has an idea about… except he is steering the car off the road with all the passengers screaming.
Should have taken his license away years ago.
I mean, I’m sure that theres fat, red tape and inefficiencies in every government department and program that could be cut without issue… DOGE was just probably the absolute worst way to go about it.
So many of the things that Trump does are “I’m going to do something that on the surface is a great idea, in a completely ass backwards way that makes it worse than doing nothing”
And on the other hand there are a bunch of inefficiencies because a department is underfunded and understaffed.
But mostly cutting means people depending on the services get less. That’s a lot of fun with tornado warnings and air traffic control.
As painful as government beurocracy can feel, it’s always been a better experience for me than trying to get anything fixed or have a reliable point of contact with a massive private company. The worst part is how processes can be jerked about because Congress and some administrations just don’t care or understand how things are for civilian (and I would guess enlisted) employees. I only worked over the second Obama and first Trump admin, which was enough to make me leave. I’d hate to be in there now.
Yeah it all falls under the same umbrella really.
It could be done smartly by experts with actual input from the people that have been begging for improvements and complaining about redundant policies and antiquated systems for decades. But no… lets use expensive external “experts” who understand nothing and will make more problems than they solve and cost more while they do it.
That’s not a government problem per se. Same happens in private businesses. Somebody gets an incentive to bring down payroll. Internal expertise gets chucked out and external people come in. A bonus is given to the manager for reducing headcount. Costs on external people goes up explosively. Incentive for infernal expertise gets created. It’s a fun cycle if you’re there at the right moment.
It was expected that after a good wrecking of services, Musk would be the designated scape goat. Soon the talks about privatization begin.
He looks so orange, like he played with orange clay and accidentally covered his entire face in it
He had a meeting with the Saudis the other week. He looks bad normally, but standing next to them in their white clothes, the photographer couldn’t fuck with the white balance as much, and he looked absurd, like a fucking Oompa Loompa.
The fact that it stops miles from his hair and eyes as well, like they apply this shit with a stencil and a spray can.
I really hope this is some epic prank from his makeup person that’s been going on for years
Oh, please turn maga on Musk hard. It would own the libs because electric cars.
Yeah caring about the environment is gay and sensitive, haven’t you heard? They might turn into good people! /s (that would never have happened)
Yes you dumb asshole, you put an anarchocapitalist (more of an oligopolist but whatever) in a position to fire regulators and IRS staff.
Cohen said Mango Mussolini will go after Leon’s cash. I would not be surprised and hopefully they attack each other.
their egos are so massive they will out each other for election fraud. That is after all what they had on each other all along.
Honeymoon is over.
Musk got the data he wanted. Everything else was deflect, deflect, deflect.
He got the data he wanted and he crushed various regulatory bodies that impact his businesses.
It was never about reducing wasteful spending. It was always about knee-capping regulations.

It served its purpose, it cut aid to those who needed it and gave money to those who didn’t. I think maybe they thought that cutting the social safety nets would have saved more money, but that’s all they’re going to be upset about.
Turns out the real welfare queens were the military and healthcare insurance companies all along.
Also, Elon was able to install some backdoor hacks for foreign leaders with his access to about a dozen of our agencies’ systems.
If a regular citizen did that, the FBI would kidnap and torture them.
It turns out the real inefficiencies were the friends we made along the way.
Musk now has internet-connected backdoored computers installed on multiple government networks that were previously airgapped.
He isn’t going to just give up access peacefully.
You mean Palantir and China.
If we’re going by that logic, then all of Fourteen Eyes, yeah.
But this is about one specific billionaire who is known to be extremely mentally unstable and on copious amounts of drugs who was just publicly denounced by his dear leader.
Just do it around 10am. He should be deep in a K hole by that time.
Covering up all the money they are siphoning to Elon’s businesses. This was never about improvement. It’s about securing contracts. We all saw this coming. Elon was supposed leave after he had the contracts secured.
