They have a bad habit of confusing appearances for substance.
Musk and Trump appear strong (thanks to a combo of almost all conservatives understanding nothing about how government works and the media hyping up the Terrible Twosome), therefore they are strong.
He's too dumb to realize he's the fall guy...
Probably too dumb to not realize it's never been trump calling the shots. So he thought he just had to pull one over on trump.
Oligarchs aren't really a big club of chummy buds laughing at the poors, Musk doesn't understand the league that his own money puts him in. Musk is a sociopathic asshole, but Putin is a god damn bond villain. He wouldn't even do it just for the money, he'd just want to put the "worlds richest man" in his place, because that number only counts legal money.
I could see this shake out where trump "prosecutes" him for fraud and taking 100s of millions or even billion plus from Musk to be used for bullshit like laundered thru contracts or used as "aid" to a country that cuts trump some on the backend.
Like, we joke about "president Musk" these days, but Putin and others have much bigger claws in trump.
Next week Musk will be sending out, "Find out which Harry Potter character you are. Just answer a few questions about your work."
He's still not getting one from me
I'm a contractor, this guy literally has zero say over my work. And if the contract I'm on suddenly stopped, a bunch of really important satellites would end up lost lost in space. Point is, Elon can suck an egg.
Looking forward to the inevitable news story about DOGE frantically trying to rehire contractors to find missing satellites that they didn’t realize were important. I hope they have to give everyone a raise.
(But, seriously, all the best and fuck Elon)
We have been deemed mission critical, whatever that means. So, we've been assured nothing will happen. But we'll see. These dickheads aren't exactly being subtle, or judicious about their cuts.
I was told it was just a joke.
If an e-mail tries to create a fake sense of urgency, it's likely spam and should just be deleted.
So was I!
I'd rather resign than justify my job to this unelected sack of shit.
I wouldn't resign, make them fire you, and then turn around and sue them for violating employment law.
No one will hear your case. It won’t ever reach a court room.
Yes they will, you cannot fire a federal employee for not answering an email. That's not how that works.
They can do whatever they want now. They will do it and then ignore any judicial intervention.
Musk and Trump both used the Government to fund, and back, their ventures— until they finally “got it right.” They built their fortunes on the backs of others, in the safe space called the USA. Now they want to break that system for anyone else, just so they can squeeze more millions out of us.
The justification, you twat, is that it obviously worked for you.
Blorbo stop posting paywalled articles please.
I don't have any kind of account on cbsnews.com, but don't see a paywall when I click on this link. I think that's about the limit of the due diligence I'm willing to do--if it loads fine for me without an account I'm going to assume it'll work for other people.
Works for me too. Complains about ad-blocker, and presumably eventually it will require it to be disabled.
Skeezix stop posting bad attitude please. 😉
Didn’t he say just the other day that this was “all just a joke”? Make up your damned mind weirdo.
This is always in their playbook. They get called out for acting stupid and they are all "we are just joking." If they don't get called out they are all "we are serious." The truth is they are just clowns.
