It looks like Donald Trump's attack dogs are coming after the world's supposedly richest man, Elon Musk. Steve Bannon is calling for Musk's deportation.
Advice for Elon Musk: don't delete your tweets. Instead, release what you have on Donald Trump. Then they won't be able to touch you.
Turns out that DOGE probably wasn't about spending cuts, as those cuts have been cancelled. What it may have been about is building a massive database for building a social credit system, basically monitoring and controlling everyone.
It does make you wonder as US defense spending has increased. Where are the savings?
Thus far this year, Tesla's share price is down 41%. In the last few days, and since I called for people not to buy Tesla cars, and/or not do business with anyone who owns a Tesla, Tesla's market capitalisation has lost almost $200 billion. Way to go, let's keep that trend going, clearly a lot of people out there are thinking the same way.
In related news, Elon Musk and his DOGE team are said to be causing chaos with staff running social security. They're letting people go in a haphazard manner.
Efficiency gains are always desirable, but the way Musk and his minions are going about it has the appearance of causing intentional harm.
The British are usually restrained, polite, wait in queues and say everything is nice. If someone is late, they say nice to see you, or the food tasted nice, the music was nice and the person they just met seemed nice. But, the exception is when they get really pissed off, and decide to relentlessly take the mickey.
Turns out, Elon Musk has seriously pissed off the British. They're doing something about it. How nice of them:
Elon Musk is a liability within the current US administration. The recent email to federal government employees treats them as imbeciles, and the message itself is facile to say the least.
This is the message:
So, are we to assume that if you don't answer, you're fired? Some employees are working on complex tasks, and these matters won't be completed for months, possibly years. By the same token, it invites answers, such as: solved world hunger and created peace for all mankind; or, sat at desk and did a lot of thinking. You get the idea.
Sending out a message such as this tells me Musk isn't that bright. He needs to be cut loose and the sooner the better.
Elon Musk, while talking in the oval office with Donald Trump right alongside him, went into a long shock horror soliloquy about how US federal records are stored deep underground in a mine. Like, this is a terribly dated thing, right?
Wrong, it's a brilliant idea and best practice. For starters, the mine protects delicate records in a safe place, and protected from nuclear war to boot. If the US went all modern and placed these records in a digital form, an enemy could take the entire US down simply by taking out the electricity supply.
Yeah, you need physical files, stored safely.
At times, Elon Musk proves he's a fool. He makes the worst car in the world and struggles to launch rockets. His so-called wealth relies on the US taxpayer funneling funds to him. He's a complete clown.
The sad part of this is that Donald Trump appears easily swayed by people such as Musk. The reality is that DOGE could be working fine without Musk, cleverer brains than his are using the AI tools uncovering the waste, fraud and abuse. The world does not need an Elon Musk thinking he knows better than everyone else.
