It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The department of government efficiency investigates some government service to improve the government

The department fires almost everyone working on the government service

The service no longer functions because it needs more than a skeleton crew to be effective

The service gets privitized because surely the private sector can make it work

The private sector makes things worse. The government is blamed for all the new problems caused by the private sector

Yes, the personifications of corporate inefficiency will bring about government efficiency, very big brained.

Elon tweets like a thousand times a day. Nobody who tweets as much as him is "efficient", although in this case it probably helps because if he weren't tweeting, he'd be designing cybertruck 2 or threatening to sue more advertisers for not using twitter.

"Designing" (drawing on a napkin with a crayon)

I present to you capitalism's finest, the whitest and most divorced man on earth:

Deadbeat, sexist, transphobic, absentee father of multiple children, multiple divorces:✅

Less rational and emotionally mature than the average tween:✅

History of reactionary political posts that stoke existing right-wing and dudebro bigotries in his army of bootlicking acolytes:✅

Owner or controlling interest in several multi-billion-dollar bazinga corpos, material value and benefits to society dubious:✅

Fifty-fucking-three years old and memelording shit like this daily as if he's still in primary school:✅

I was so glad the word epic finally fell out of favor with even the most unoriginal of reddit-logo users. Not surprised Most Divorced Man is still using it.

UGH. Remember when every smirking asshole across college campuses nationwide was saying "EPIC FAIL" a lot? so-true

Comedy graveyard corpse, right there.

melon-musk I mostly shit post with a barely functional AI promoting pictures of myself. Tell the board members to suck my nuts. Tell my ex's laywers to fuck off. Tell my lawyers to tell government regulators laywers to fuck off. Then spend about 4-8 hours in the K-hole....I mean work so hard I "sleep at the office".

He's not getting the goverment overseer job. It would conflict of interest with his own wealth. He's shitposting per usual.

Aren't shitposts supposed to be funny, though?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Well we aren't really laughing with Elon as much as we are laughing AT Elon. So it is funny...from a certain point of view.

It would conflict of interest with his own wealth.

I think that's actually a prerequisite for higher up US government jobs these days.
