So it looks like Musk and his barely out of high school crew now have access to our personal data and they are firing people left and right.
Could this be the ultimate dude bro takeover?
What is he going to do with that data? (our data)
The MAGA crowd loves to throw around the "Communism" accusation. I've always maintained they don't even know what that word means. And now I have proof.
Communism is centralized government where the will of the people is suppressed by a dictator and a handful of henchmen, most often Oligarchs making all decisions for an entire population.
And that's exactly what the MAGA toddlers have just voted for and are enthusiastically cheering on. They have no idea what happens next!
An unelected billionaire with no background in government is making unilateral decisions for 330 million people with zero accountability. And the MAGA morons are supposedly for "small government". The MAGA morons still think Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg, the Koch brothers, et al actually care about them and are gonna "take care of them". You can't make this shit up.
Grab a beer and bowl of popcorn. We are witnessing the end of the USA as a country. And it was overthrown from within by the dumbest people in this country funded by a handful of Oligarchs in pursuit of the greatest wealth heist in the history of the human race.
But the will of the people isn’t being suppressed. The deep state and democrat propaganda is being decimated. That’s what I want.
@seeyounexttuesday ,
That's only because you're blind to the consequences of what's happening. I can't wait for it to hit you like a ton of bricks.
how will I ever recover from the CIA overthrowing foreign governments.
DOGE was technically created by Obama, but nobody complained back then... Trump just renamed it and put some smart people at the wheel. Elon is recruiting people that think outside the box, people that are talented, and have an obsessive drive. One example is Luke Farritor. He's not just some kid dude... The corruption needs to be audited, the bad actors need to be removed and prosecuted, and the people's wealth needs to be recover and returned. You need detectives, accountants, computer scientists, and so on that can do the work well. Get your shit straight.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/zpflT8XuSygAmerican republicans are dumb enough to assume a filthy rich billionere who doesn't even have an official office in government will fight against corruption by unlawfully usurping state institutions
@Darklydarkened I'm just wondering where do you plan to get your daily does of brainwashing when USAID funding for all your left wing propaganda outlets get cut... Haven't you figured it out yet? Soon you will have no one to tell you what to think. Government funded propaganda will be canceled, and you will have to think for yourself. I see a withdrawal in your future. You will probably crash hard like a typical dope fiend when the government intelligence agencies are no longer telling you what to think and say.
Child sex orgies, huh? Mate, your yes man is from the same circles
And I'm not even American, it's actually amusing to see how neoliberals and social democrats who refused to see this US hegemony's wantonness all going mad in Europe about what's happening in US
And I don't get any help from USAID
But you, sure as hell are about to get shafted by wannabe Goebells that's gaslighting you to the oblivion
I'm not British
And you definetly do not understand what propaganda is
@Darklydarkened I agree. I think the Republicans know what he is doing but don't act on it because if their leader, and the supporters are too stupid to realize what he's doing. Like Musk will fight corruption, right. Not when he's with Trump!
Wow, Obama? You're still throwing out propaganda blaming a guy who's been out of office for 8 years? Well I guess it doesn't really matter how ridiculous your lies are when your MAGA base is THAT stupid.
Musk is doing something that is unconstitutional, with the help of Trump. He is looking at peoples personal information and deciding what he will do with citizens’ money. He will try to find ways to decide who gets their monthly social security check and doesn’t. Congress is the only entity that can remove him from taking over this department. He is an illegal alien, got here illegally from Canada and S Africa where he was born, and he has no right to do what he will try to do. They need to deport him fast. He does not plan on helping the US. He’s just getting richer over what he has done so far.
@amy10223 Well said.
@Danzigdawson Thank you. I can't understand how the rest don't see that.
@amy10223 Unfortunately, it's all been beyond politics for a while, now. It's a cult. Enemies of the cult are evil and lie. The cult leader is always right and never fails.
@Danzigdawson Yes, I agree. And it's very interesting how some people have lost friends and family members due to it too. It reminds me of people I. knew who were against and for Franco in Spain. It also reminds me a lot about Germany. Let's hope that we can at least take the House back and survive the next few years.
I'm all for cutting out government waste, but who gets to define waste? If they really want to get rid of waste, get rid of those 87,000 agents they hired to wring the last dollar out of poor Americans. I bet we pay more in taxes than Musky.

He's not taking over anything. Rather, he's significantly downsizing the government much as he did with Twitter, and Twitter proved that you could fire 80% of employees and not only would it not fail, but it only sped up the rate of positive change because it eliminated huge amounts of useless bureaucracy and got rid of activists who were actively fighting against the mission of the company/agency.
He's cutting out corruption the way a surgeon cuts out cancer, and that will both make the country healthier but also eliminate tons of monetary waste.
This is 70 years overdue. It's like cutting up the credit cards of a person who can't control their spending - it might be tough love, but it's necessary.
Massive amounts of blatant corruption has been exposed - why is THAT not the main concern?
But.. Musk's takeover of Twitter has been a massive failure. I'm not sure you are bright enough to engage in grown up discussions.
It's been a disaster for the far Left, sure, but it's a huge win for the rest of the country, and it's also more profitable than it was before Elon bought it. The user base is balanced between left and right. Bots are way down and engagement is up.
If you think that's a loss, that tells me a lot about you.
I'd find it scary if some rich dude, I of the rest of my demographic did not know and had NOT been elected to be a part of the government, had access to my social security number and shit like that without my accept.
Had he ran to be an elected official and won, I'd be more inclined to accept but this dude bought his way to power and that is scary as fuck.
(Luckily this one doesn't effect me that much, not as much as the threats of economic and military pressure)
Musk HAS NOT “taken over the federal government”.
He has been tasked to run an independent Audit of the Governments Finances by The President in the same way that a business woman/man who takes over a company would do, its call ‘Due Diligence’ that no previous Presidents (that Trump did not do it at the start of his first term was purely down to the fact that he did not know what he could/couldn’t do, and some White house Staffers were actively blocking him) ever did it tells you more about them and that they accepted the Status Quo.
Edit; Over the next three months, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will review and take a call on whether “to continue, modify, or terminate programmes “, according to a State Department memo.
Last Friday, Rubio sent a cable to embassies worldwide to halt the US projects supporting health, education, development, security assistance and other efforts.
Emergency food programmes, like the ones used to help people suffering from a widening famine in war-torn Sudan, are exempt, and so is military aid to close US allies Israel and Egypt.
The Associated Press reported that Rubio agreed to add more exemptions, allowing temporary funding for humanitarian programmes that provide life-saving medicines and food, among other services.
Elon Musk is managing the Department of Government Efficiency. President Trump picked him precisely because he is not a government bureaucrat and a swamp creature. Cutting the federal budget has been tried before but has always failed. There were always bureaucrats that were supposed to do the cutting. It looks like Trump picked the right guy.
He picked him because he's a power-hungry nutjob who only recently became the ultimate orange-noser. When you read a little bit about him and his management style, it soon becomes pretty clear that Musk is actually incredibly stupid, impulsive and incompetent. In the business world, his only talent was to know how to surround himself with talented people.
Musk is tearing down (not cutting) the US government to replace it with Trumpland's management board. That's what was planned and he's doing it.
@Danzigdawson Elon bought Twitter and fired all the deadwood. It is more profitable than ever.
@exitseven Do you lie just to get a kick out of it, or are you completely unware of the amount of stupid you're saying?
Musk bought twitter, fired some of what he'd call 'deadwood', faced mass resignations after he sent his "commit to extremely hardcore work" email, lost highly-qualified and crucial employees in the process, downgraded the once immensly popular social network into a cesspool of far-right disinformation, hate speech and fake news, causing it to lose millions of users.
X's value is down 79% from Twitter's price when Musk bought it. Even with 80% less employees, it's not making enough money to be anywhere near 'profitable'.
@Danzigdawson Elon deleted all the bots but there are more real people on it than ever.. Just because they do not censor conservative opinions does not make it a cesspool. It makes it more popular than ever.
Elon made the staff come back yo the office. A lot of them quit. I imagine Starbucks was an upgrade for them.
@exitseven Nice delusion. The reality is once again the exact opposite: it did make it a cesspool of –>far-right<– disinformation and it's far from being as popular as it was before Musk's takeover.
@Danzigdawson It just is not used much by the fake news. They cannot handle the truth,
@exitseven Your post, converted to reality: 'It just is not used much by the legitimate news. They cannot handle the lies and disinformation'
Only fake news still use X. Trump has never been able to handle any kind of truth.
Do you really think Elon gives a fuck about you? I don't even give a fuck about you. Santa Clause doesn't give a fuck either. Even that dirty tranny down the street that smokes fentanyl and shoots up heroin doesn't give a fuck about you and your data... he/she might give you head though for $10.
Someone monitor the traffic around DC and Virginia. That place is going to implode economically.
Elon... I like, but honestly, this is like a non elected person taking over... it's kinda jacked there's no oversight. but the problem of course is those with oversight... suck and don't represent us. So... we got a King... Trump, and a knight.. Elon. Elon is providing evidence of that.
welcome to severe state of affairs where the govt is run like a business.
He is very intelligent and very daring, he is not someone who accepts obstacles in front of him. A lot can be learned from the process of taking and transforming Twitter. He likes to control everything.
If he want he certainly, he will be the next US president.
Too bad he’s not a natural born American.
He’s a dirty immigrant 🤪
This guy is dumb enough to assume twitch streamers have secret bosses that tell them what to do, because Asmangold DM'd him about his editors once.
He's so dumb, he took it as traditional newspaper editor and when they feuded over his gaming scam, he posted private messages in between and called him a liar and not a man of his own
Anyone who thinks he is intelligent really is unaware of his overall actions
I can't understand your anger. I look at the man's assets, the companies he manages. I look at the authority he has gained. It does not match the image you have.
If you look at how he got there then it makes perfect sense. The man failed upwards and ended up at the top at no fault of himself. The moment he takes control of something himself it all turns to shit like what happened with Twitter. The moment where he had the greatest success was when he was standing at the top doing nothing and shut his mouth.
The government needs to be cut dramatically. You do that by firing people. It's what needs to be done. It's needed to be done for decades, but it hasn't been done because the only way to do it will hurt. The longer you wait, the more it will hurt. If it had been done decades ago like it should have been, then it wouldn't be nearly as painful now.
Bottom line is that it needs to be done, so get on with it.
The government needs to stup subsidising his companies. Stop nonsensical space exploration projects that pour money to his pockets, stop protecting failing industries etc.
Elon is for his own, he doesn't give a fuck about government spending, he wants money to be spent only for his own end.
And besides, he won't get spending down as much as he wants, for that to happen, he needs to stop paying pensions, stop any sort of social care, stop helping people in ailing economy.
I think he'd be okay with that, would you?
he is not taking over the federal government.
His job is to find waste in the federal spending, and he is doing a great job of it.
He has only found the tip of the iceberg.
It sure is interesting what the feds pissed have away our money on and never batted an eye while doing it.
It wasn't their hard-earned money they were spending.
Why all the sudden hate for these billionaires? They have such a solid history of protecting the little guy.
We should trust our billionaires to do what’s right for us. If they didn’t want to do what is right for us, they would have never purchased themselves those positions in Trump’s administration. 😤
Americans have potentially just voted away their rights and freedoms by putting this lot of self-serving oligarchs in charge of their country. They have distracted and brainwashed huge numbers of people into obsessively hating 'the libs' and now the real threat has just taken power. Once you give away your democracy there is no guarantees you will get it back if you change your mind.
Sounds like you’re not very smart. Reading a book might help.
@seeyounexttuesday I thought you were a free speech absolutist? or are you offended at hearing stuff you don't agree with?
good lord. I believe in free speech. Which is why it should be legal for you to type your stupid opinion.
@seeyounexttuesday well stop complaining like a snowflake then
I'm not complaining, I'm pointing out your idiocy.
@seeyounexttuesday classic maga-moron resorting to name-calling instead of addressing the question
You don't have a question. You regurgitated some nonsense you read on bluesky. Show me one right Americans have lost.
@seeyounexttuesday as of August 2024, 17 states outlawed abortions, and in some states even rape, incest or the health of the mother is not taken into account. It's part of the Lets make life hell for other people as long as it's not me - isn't that the maga utopia that gets you turned on? grievance politics, scapegoat women and minority groups whilst providing no intelligent answers to the real issues of the world.
Is that a federal law or state laws?
@seeyounexttuesday state laws backed by Trump's federal supreme court judges - either way right's have been lost and this will make life hell for people who need to access this type of healthcare
So state laws, not federal. And it's not "Trump's supreme court" it's the Supreme Court of the US. Ruth Bader Ginsburg even thought RvWade was a bad legal decision.
I read the constitution and don't see the right to murder your unborn child.
@seeyounexttuesday you asked me to name "one right Americans have lost" and I did - you seem to think because it's state law that it somehow means that right hasn't been lost? The supreme court is packed with Trump loyalist with a bias towards right wing ideology. Ginsburg did not think roe v wade was a "bad decision" - you've over simplified there - she had some concerns about it but she was a strong supporter of abortion rights - factual accuracy is important. Abortion to save the mother's life, to reject a pregnancy conceived through incest or rape is not murder - like most things in life, its not that simple. Right wing ideology seems to be all about oversimplifying complex issues and scapegoating easy targets which is morally and practically wrong. Maybe the maga-mob might decide to take some of your rights away - would you like that?
I was 100% accurate.
Ok, abortion to save mother's life is legal and so is rape. That means.04% of abortions are now legal.
Glad you wanted to compromise.
@seeyounexttuesday but your maga-bros don't agree with you - they are absolutists that want to make all abortion illegal no-matter-what! seems like you aren't extremist enough for them. Of course abortion should be a last resort but people's life stories are complicated therefore they are not going to go through that procedure lightly. Overly simplistic methods such as banning abortions will make life hell for many women and will drive some underground where it will still be carried out but not under medical supervision. I bet your glad the maga-bros aren't coming after your rights so you won't suffer - if other people suffer that's fine with you because it won't affect you. Fascists are always looking for the next scapegoat to oppress to distract the masses from the fact that they have no solutions to the real issues of the world. You just never know who they might go after next. You never know, they might select one of your attributes/characteristics and turn society against you next
Find me the states that have made rape illegal under all circumstances. I'll wait.
@seeyounexttuesday Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia have banned abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest - hope that turns you on
I want the actual statues. Not some list you copy pasted from some lefty site.
@seeyounexttuesday you can read can't you? surely you don't need me to educate you? go on, come back and tell me that it's fake news! you voted for total abortion bans, the orange man-baby and his bros implemented them and now you seem to be calling lefty news - this is what you voted for so why don't you believe its true?
Yeah. Read West Virginias law. You are lying about it. Figured the rest were bullshit too
@seeyounexttuesday ah I see, you didn't realise that you voted for disgusting cruel policies so you're going to cry "fake news" now
I literally proved you were lying by reading West Virginia's statute. You can call it whatever you want, but facts are facts.
@seeyounexttuesday omg are you 12 years old or something? West Virginia implemented a total abortion ban since 2022 - you have proved nothing dude - what about all the other states that I mentioned, you said nothing about those? Letting uneducated people vote is like giving your car keys to a 6 year old and expecting them not to crash
They absolutely didn't. Read the statute. I did.
@seeyounexttuesday omg this is a waste of time - you don't get it do you
I do get it. you lied. Post the text of the bill.
@seeyounexttuesday no you post the text since it's you claiming it as evidence duh
you're claiming it says something it doesn't. I read the bill. Put up or shut up.
@seeyounexttuesday why on earth are you telling me to go and find your evidence? the reason: you are a liar screaming fake news whenever you hear something you don't want to hear.
You are the liar, cupcake. You're making the assertion that they banned abortion with no exceptions. You put up or shut up.
@seeyounexttuesday prove it then dumbo
This is your assertion. You prove it fucktard.
@seeyounexttuesday you are the f**tard citing the bill and yet you won't share it - because you are full of maga-bs
you are the idiot lying about imaginary rights being taken away. But like most women, you are just emotional, never factual.
@seeyounexttuesday you sound like you are about 11 years old
And you sound like a moron.
@seeyounexttuesday get back to me once you reach puberty
And get back to me when you want to be honest with your discussion points.
i think reducing government spending is important and there's way too many agencies that create the problems they are there to solve just so they can keep living off tax payer money infinitely. so i see this as a positive change overall. however it has to be said that for elon musk to be doing this, there's a MASSIVE conflict of interest and that is absolutely not a good idea.
Nobody cares about leftist conspiracy theories. Musk is simply a man with a track record of outstanding executive management as his companies prove.
A man who otherwise has no say over anything without the consent of others. Musk is not and never can be president.
George Soros is also a billionaire and he spent his life trying to destroy America. And yet the Democrats love him and Biden put a medal around his neck.
Elon says that he doesn't think the taxpayers actually want to spend millions of dollars to teach Serbia about dei. What a monster he is!
America is a ceasepool of greed and corruption run by people who only care about profit and themselves. It's not solely because of a few individual, democrats or republicans. It's the American way. That's the reality of it.
LOL, he's a grifter like Trump, just a richer one.
Can see him ending up in jail over this.
It's the likened to the robbers in the bank before the police and feds arrive.
nothing bc it probably isn't that big of a deal
i don't see my life changing any bc of it
Funny how the Maga dipshits are good letting a foreigner access to their persona and financial data.
I will not buy or use anything that this man owns or created. He is evil and has aspirations of world domination.
He's not taking over the government. He's just managing a new department that is causing a lot of controversy, so it looks like he is "taking over" but he isn't.
It is in fact NOT a new Department. You are incorrect, and what he is doing is illegal and unconstitutional. The issue is you have NO idea what he is doing, because everyone but him is locked out. So your claim is without merit.
Furthe3more, we know he is not cutting waste because he is tweeting things he is cutting and lying about what they are. I mean, just blatantly easy things to fact check, he lies about them. And the Right just eats it up like fucking morons.
This administration makes the movie Idiocracy look aspirational.
You don't understand how a Department is created.
@Hammywillsalot Trump was allowed to create DOGE through the Presidential reorganization authority.
en.wikipedia.org/.../Presidential_reorganization_authority
LMFAO! Okie doke bud.
I think he isn't. He's only house cleaning, like your maid.
He's tearing down an historic building to replace it with a parking lot, like a clueless real estate developer.
@Danzigdawson Which one?
I prefer the bald trans employee that stole luggage from the airport instead instead of a man that creates over 100,000, helps the environment, and sent rockets to space.
I think he is doing a fantastic job. I was and am excited to see where things go after 4 years 😁
does his social media not have everyones info.
Lol. The NSA has been spying on you for years. THat’s your own government on your own dime.
Is he for hire? I'm pretty sure the uk could do with this service.
He's helping Trump sell it to the highest bidder.
He’s not taking over the federal government, he’s doing the job he was appointed to do by the President of the United States…..
Do you mean people like
Let's hope he cleans out all the dead wood!!
"My you are in trouble."
Prove he’s taken it over
Musk can’t fire anyone.
He doing a fine job
