US presidential candidate Donald Trump said he would appoint Elon Musk to head a government efficiency commission if he is elected to office in November.
“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 and making recommendations for drastic reforms,” Trump told the Economic Club of New York.
The guy who lost $35B in a year and destroyed the business model - that guy?
I mean, depending on what your goals are, that could very well be described as efficient.
Like, if your goal is to destroy the American government, could anyone do it more efficiently than Elmo?
the guy that lead the Cyber Truck project? that guy?
Fits nicely with Trump’s reputation
More like: the guy who helps Putin in Ukraine with starlink policies and hardware and by assisting Trump since Putin for sure has nasty child rapey kompromat on him.
Elon is a piece of shit, but I suspect he’s doing what he’s told.
Translation: “I got an endorsement and a lot of money from Elon Musk, so I’m giving him a government job as a kickback where he can “regulate” his own businesses to enrich himself even further at the expense of literally every other American.”
Oh man, I can’t see a conflict of interest at all. Nope, no siree.
He is maintaining his record of putting the worst possible person he can find in positions of power.
Betsy Devos but worse
Elon needs to get back to his CEO duties of abusing ketamine and shitposting on twitter all day long.
Our government isn’t a meme you incel fuck. That clown is exhausting.
I had to scroll up to see if it was The Onion.
I’ve been saying for a few years now that I don’t blame anyone anymore for biting the onion. It is FAR TOO HARD to figure out what is life being absurd, and what is an absurd satire headline.
The lines aren’t blurred anymore. There are no lines. The lines have ceased to exist at this point.
I don’t understand life anymore, and I’d like to go back to politics being boring instead of being a circus.
And that’s assuming the headline you’re reading even has any bearing on the actual article, or that the article itself is factual, both of which are increasingly more common worries now.
He’s going to Xitter the US of A. 75% loss of value since he became involved.
If you don’t like it, vote.
Vote for Harris *
Any vote not to Harris be it third party or otherwise is a vote for Trump. A third party cannot win in our current First Past the Poll system
I hate that it’s the reality. Fptp is so anti democratic.
Then organize a ballot measure for RCV or your preferred alternate system. Too late for this November but you can do something for future elections at least at the state level.
Not a yank, but yes. Electoral reform was promised, but never happened. I’m pissed.

He just wants to be able to shut down the FAA, who keeps enforcing rules he doesn’t like (and SpaceX keeps breaking)
Imagine if the people in charge of our country took it seriously instead of whatever this clown show is.
Can’t wait to vote Kamala, and least she won’t make things worse.
His way of making the government efficient will be to just have no bid contracts go to all of his businesses.
I’m getting really sick of the “conventional wisdom” that government is inefficient and wasteful when compared to private industry. Medicare for example can provide more healthcare per dollar than any private insurer despite subsidizing that industry.
Profit and marketing are inefficiencies because they add cost but no value.
Yep, exactly. Also, look at how the USPS works.
Republican chuds: “Big Guvmit can’t do anything right, it’s the worst, they are hurting my freedom, argle bargle!”
Also Republican chuds: “Back the blue (unless they break up a terrorist action called in by our former failed president) and our military is the bestest and shiniest in the whole wide WURLD!”
Dear Donald J. Numbskull: the fact that Elon never sleeps and kisses your ass does not mean he’s efficient, or even understands the concept.
Trump has never cared about hiring people who are efficient. He hires them if they pay him. His administration was filled with industry representatives, who were in positions where they decided regulation of their own businesses. Corruption all the way down.
God could you imagine.
Vote.
So if Trump is elected the USA will be run like Twitter
*Xitter (pronounced shitter)
So, he basically bought himself a job in our government. I kinda want to say that’s illegal, but this is the circus we live in now. Complaining about the clowns is probably a waste of time at this point
