It's amazing how people who have made "The only people you need to fear are people who say they are with the government and they're here to help" a foundational belief in their personality are just willing to give this guy almost complete control with no questions asked.
Talk about clueless. You mean people who actually do the work? Those people? How does being "unelected" make them a problem? You use the term bureaucrat as a pejorative without even knowing what it means. Fire all of them and then bitch and moan when your SS check doesn't arrive.
People are always trying to apply the same misguided logic to education as well.
Kool Aid.
I think we all agree on that. But Musk has a reputation of doing that destructively and callously.
Not on paper at least but if you've ever paid even the slightest bit of attention to how the guy who will be in charge operates, you don't see how someone with unlimited money having direct access to that person makes people nervous?
The GOP wars and their 2008 economic crisis (under Bush) plus their massive tax cuts for the rich and their botching of the COVID response (under Trump) are the main causes - but, sure, the Dems own a share of the blame.
Bush was a bad president and cheney was running the show. I was shocked when your ilk celebrated the cheney endorsements given how awful they are as people. Let's not pretend that the democrat party has done any clean up in the last two decades, though. Unless you consider shitting on dirty floors to be "clean up". I know Gavin Newsom does, not sure about you. The democrat party is a cancer though.
Some truth to that.
But it is a huge sucker on the federal teat.
I think you're missing his point - which I took to be that Musk bought his way to influence.
He does? X is a fraction of what it was. Probably only worth a 1/4 of what he paid for it.
So, this is all because people were too happy and enjoying their lives too much? Nice country you want to live in here.
Well considering it's called the National Aeronautics & Space Agency, yeah, it gets federal money. It does that because there is no profit in private companies to do what they do. Notice how once it was possible to make money doing some of the things it does it started pushing those things out to be privatized. Like launching stuff into space (Thanks Obama!). But no company is going to spend $1.5 billion just to send a satellite out to Neptune to find out information about Neptune. NASA will, though, and they might find something valuable by doing it. Which private companies can then later exploit. But it's too expensive for a private company to risk a mission "just to check". If the mission failed that would kill their business and the chances of failure are far higher than success.
He just used my money to make himself a billionaire, but go ahead and lick his asshole, although I doubt he would share an ice cold sprite with you.
NASA is bloated with waste and inefficiency. Even the little video they have you watch at Kennedy Space Center, lol, they were like 2.5 years longer than anticipated.
Would you have such a hard little boner had President Biden done something similar with Bill Gates or George Soros? Your worship of all things Elon Musk is unhealthy, and creepy.
Is that why he fired 80% of Twitter employees and it runs better than it ever has?
There shouldn't be any subsidies for EV's. It's not just a Tesla thing.
He built SpaceX and put satellites in orbit for a fraction of what it would have cost NASA. He fired 80% of the staff at Twitter and it’s still doing fine. Even if it’s a scam, what the Boring Company did under Las Vegas would have cost the city 10x what they did it for and it would still be under construction.
