    yes lets put the man that single handedly collapsed the EV market and obliterated Twitter in charge of "streamlining" the government, that is a great idea!

    He’s totally going to fire every single federal employee and then complain that he can’t renew his passport.

    Good luck with that. A good portion of us are unionized.

    Having Elon anywhere near government anything is a terrible idea and he's an awful human but what's this about the EV market? I thought it was doing fine. Twitter though yeah that has been just...a large wtf per minute value for sure.

    Yeah, the EV market is fine, just Tesla sales which have dropped some, lowering numbers for the total EV market. Sales continue to be strong for other EV manufacturers, just one brand slowing down for some strange reason..... Almost like someone has started to alienate their core customer base....

    Yeah, I'm actively shopping for an EV and Tesla is not on the list. Not just because of Elmo though. I need physical buttons for the AC and radio and I like my cars to be pretty. But Elmo is definitely another reason why I'm not even looking at a Tesla.

    yeah if you look at the stats of the market, its been all over sites like Bloomberg and Forbes, the EV market is imploded because "Americans don't want EVs" but when you break it down by manufacturer the market is overall growing if you excluded tesla, but Tesla is the largest maker in the segment so as they dive the market as a aggregate takes a hit.

    Step 1) Rename the country to something more hip. Possibly USX.

    Step 2) Have everyone sign a pledge to work twice as hard.

    Step 3) Cut everything that has a budget.

    Step 4) Profit?

    Trump made the remarks Thursday during a campaign stop at the New York Economic Club. “At the suggestion of Elon Musk, who has given me his complete and total endorsement…I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government,” Trump said. “Elon has agreed to head the task force,” Trump added while noting that the task force would be responsible for “making recommendations for drastic reforms” to the government.

    Not sure I love the sound of "drastic reforms to the government". But if we're stupid enough to give gim the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania again, it's what we deserve.

    As Gerrymandered as most red states are now and all the voter suppression tactics, I don’t know “stupid enough” would be the cause. The popular vote WILL go to Kamala. It’s whether the gaming of the electoral system can be overcome.

    Elon Musk is presently involved with the operation of multiple companies, not to mention posting on social media. I think that his plate is pretty full.

    He will make it as efficient as he did with Twitter!

    It all starts with a name change, as always. Maybe "Holy Roman empire" will be dramatic enough for his tastes.

    This should be in commercials. There's Trump's Stupid ideas and Musk's ideologic stupidity. What a fucking Reese's these two would make

    Nothing says "efficiency" like a racist, drug addicted manchild with untreated ADHD who never sleeps.

    Not exaggerating - these people literally want to turn us into slaves. They’re going to take EVERYTHING they can from us.

    This just goes to show that nobody ever graduates school. What happens in elementary school in terms of popularity contests reoccurs in junior high and high school, college, businesses, religions, and governments. Humanity is still in its adolescence and until we actually mature as a species, we will constantly be on the brink of death or we will find a way to make it happen.

    On the one hand, government jobs are known to be very cushy compared to industry where the harsh realities of late-stage capitalism are in full swing.

    On the other hand, Elon is in no position to fix the government inefficiency problem. He would call for some ridiculously stupid and uninformed decisions to be made based upon his business ethos of nuking (potentially important) things and starting from scratch.

    His idea of efficiency is having his employees work 60-80 hours a week and firing people that don't. That does not work with government jobs which are often unionized.

    Exactly. Also, that sort of efficiency is a myth because people can't sustain that workload for more than the time required to upskill and get out of that company. You lose good people with knowledge of your operation doing what Elon does.

    I heard someone say they fellate each other. Oh no, that was a video I saw of Lonnie interviewing the orange bad sucking each other off.
