The Musk Administration

[Anachnid]

Figgered this thread needed to be fired up.
From what I’m reading he was able to remove the Chicom trade restrictions. Remember Apartheid Clyde, the orange guy is America first. Oh he works for you? Now I get it.

Seriously. This guy is an even bigger clown than Trump. And because he controls the social media narrative to some extent, he can just retweet garbage and ask "Is this true?" about something he knows isn't true, and suddenly tens of millions of people accept it as truth. Scary.

Similar to mainstream news broadcasts.

Not an expert on Musk, but if you are the richest man in the World, you can't be dumb. Give him a chance.

House Republican Tells CBS: It's Like Elon Musk is Our PM

GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) readily admitted that Elon Musk was like a de facto "prime minister" running the U.S. federal government.

Musk is a "misinformation" spreader just like his associate Trump.

Well, he bought Twitter for $44 billion and now it's worth less than half that. Seems dumb to me.

Last sentence of my post was simply a reasonable "Give him a chance". Obvious from above comments, the haters can't get there. Sad.

Humorous, but adds nothing to the conversation. At least Musk is a legal immigrant that hasn't set an innocent woman on fire.

I don't hate him, I'm just pointing out something he did that was really, really dumb and completely ineffective. Happy to give him a chance to do all the grand things he claims he can do, but I'm not holding my breath. He's also already had a lot of chances to use the platform he ruined for good, but instead he's used it regularly to spread misinformation at best and outright lies at worst.

What's sad is that Musk is a walking conflict of interest. He's in charge of making recommendations for cutting government spending yet he gets billions of dollars from the government. I'm sure he's going to recommend cutting spending on his own projects. And he got what he demanded when the spending bill was revised, the bipartisan supported restriction on investment in China was removed from the bill.

A huge portion of his Tesla's are made in China, and I understand he is in process of building a large battery plant there too.

Yep, a regular Darth Vader working in conjunction with the Joker. God save the country.

Listen to yourselves. Not remotely close to a reasonable assessment of the current national mood or environment....but respect your opinions and enjoy our discussions.

From a trusted source, understand even those here with misguided political views are not on the Big Guy's naughty list, mine either. 😇

Merry Christmas to all! Make it special.

Yes, because battery plants in China that employee low-wage Chinese are OK, but ones in Michigan that employ family-wage union workers are bad bad bad for the United States so we have to gin up controversy and submarine them.

Let's see if those tariffs Fatso threatens to invoke apply to cars made primarily in China. I bet not.
