Elon Musk - news and discussion

[Bahnhof Strasse]

The judge could go even higher - the maximum penalty is four years for each felony and the judge can order the sentences to be served consecutively up to a maximum of 20 years - it would doubtless be overturned on appeal and the judge would be in for a lot of criticism, but could be worth it to see the look on Trump's face

Bigly.

The lack of budget is brilliant. A lovely touch.

He’s basically got to WFH on all his devices. Order your own fucking stationary Elon.

Just insanity. Baudrillard must be pissing himself in his grave.

Musk asks ‘high-IQ revolutionaries’ to work for no pay on new Trump project. World’s richest man solicits applications for ‘tedious work’ in newly formed Department of Government Efficiency. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are asking Americans who are “high-IQ small-government revolutionaries” and willing to work over 80 hours a week to join their new Department of Government Efficiency – at zero pay.​

Elon wanted: large powerful funded organisation, agents and departments cutting USA to its fitting size.

Elon gets: WFH in his kitchen on his semen stained laptop whilst advertising for volunteers on gum tree.

The idea is to posture as the person interested in 'outside of the system' hot shots, the skunk works people, intellectual mavericks and so on. Its surface level bollocks though, zero depth aesthetics. Which he doesn't really understand anyway, just shiny.

Wanted: People to work very long hours for no pay for the world's richest man. Requirements: Must be extremely intelligent

Tbf, it is starting to sound like he genuinely is quite far outside of the system...

Unfortunately, his wealth has gone up by something like $200 million per hour since Trump was elected so he can probably afford to cough up for some office expenses

Anarcho-capitalism / neo-feudalism, here we come.

first meeting is to be with fellow anarchocapitalist Donald Trump meets Javier Milei ahead of conservative summit

Hopefully one day quite far outside the solar system. Where he can't to any more harm.

once he's six feet under he'll not pose any harm. let him turn his attention to pushing up daisies.

the call would go out, new trousers for mr trump

One of the things Musk slashed on acquiring Twitter was the entire accessibility team. Presumably equal access to information for people with disabilities is part of the woke mind virus.

People who work in accessibility (many of whom are disabled themselves) in the states are quite nervous.

Musk also got rid of the safety team, i.e. the staff who dealt with child abuse and harassment. Musk personally reinstated the Xhitter account of a user who reposted a still frame from a particularly infamous example of CSAM. I don't understand why more fuss hasn't been made over this.

He's an absolute garbage human who needs to be locked up forever.

I fear that conservation of temporal momentum would ensure that something just as mind-bendingly asinine would happen in its place.

wrong thread. moved post.

yes, he's unveiled it as the new logo for the DOGE shit. The loyalty test & purge unit. Theres a few crappy articles knocking about. This efficiency (lol) drive is co headed by this cunt Vivek Ramaswamy, another entrepreneur and whack job.

Hard as it is to believe, out of those two cunts, Ramaswamy is easily the more insufferable.

Tbf, the second quote there is from a member who posts a lot of cheeky fibs, so if could be nonsense.

Happy/sad to be corrected on this.

The revenge starts

In mid-September, as tech billionaire Elon Musk intensified his efforts to elect Donald Trump as president, a wave of letters arrived at the Department of Transportation, asking the agency to turn over any emails and text messages that federal workers sent about the world’s wealthiest man and his sprawling technology empire.

The requests were like thousands of others sent in the past two years by Trump-allied groups seeking to identify perceived partisans within the federal government. Some have focused on diversity, equity and inclusion programs, others on employees who shared “off the record” information with reporters and on emails referencing “climate change.”

It’s a massive fishing expedition that has already sent a chill through federal agencies bracing for Trump’s second term.

With Trump set to return to the White House with a promise to shrink the federal government and eliminate civil servants seen as obstacles to his agenda, the groundwork laid by these groups could serve as a road map for a mass purging of personnel.

“If the president wants to be able to execute on the agenda that the American people told them they want, they can’t have liberal activists in (Senior Executive Service) positions,” said Tom Jones, the conservative activist and former Capitol Hill aide behind the American Accountability Foundation.

but

The EPA union source said their counter strategy now is a public relations campaign. They’re forging alliances with members of Congress and outside groups in hopes of bringing to light how Trump-aligned groups are already targeting federal employees and hoping public shaming and outrage may protect them.

Musk is clearly the one who wields the power, not Trump. I hope he continues to make this clear

This just popped up on my YouTube feed by a channel entitled ‘achieve success’. This incoherent gibberish from Musk is apparently regarded as ‘brilliant’ pedagogical advice by his idiot fans
