    This should be in commercials. There’s Trump’s Stupid ideas and Musk’s ideologic stupidity. What a fucking Reese’s these two would make

    Wasn’t he supposed to be on Mars by now? I can see why Dementia DonOLD likes him, he tanks businesses just like him, he lies just like him, he makes bullshit promises again just like him, and I could go on…

      Governments should not be measured in “value” of any financial aspect, but rather the quality of living of the citizens they govern. Electing a leader of questionable human rights morals would be a disaster.

    Elon Musk is presently involved with the operation of multiple companies, not to mention posting on social media. I think that his plate is pretty full.

      He is also involved with many court cases he would probably appreciate if Trump could make go away, like surely Trump will do with his own first thing, should he get the chance.

      Every one of those companies would probably be doing better without his involvement, so that might be a positive for them…

    Donald trump says Elon musk will lead “how to shovel more money into my pockets and the private sector while dismantling more government” task force.

    He will make it as efficient as he did with Twitter!

    It all starts with a name change, as always. Maybe “Holy Roman empire” will be dramatic enough for his tastes.

    If this actually happens, it will be a shit show of epic proportions.

    Elon Musk nonsense aside, a Department for Government Efficiency is honestly not a bad idea. Apparently, the military is tremendously wasteful, as are most other government departments. This could genuinely save some taxpayer money and free up funds for good things.

      You know it will be used only to go after schools, social programs, or other things they want to destroy.

        I am aware of the Government Accountability Office. I want something more powerful than that. The Government Accountability Office is a toothless organisation without the resources and power needed to really identify and defeat Government inefficiency.

          Maybe we give the existing department teeth instead of creating another office. Seems more efficient.

            We will need a Department for Government Efficiency to determine that.

    This just goes to show that nobody ever graduates school. What happens in elementary school in terms of popularity contests reoccurs in junior high and high school, college, businesses, religions, and governments. Humanity is still in its adolescence and until we actually mature as a species, we will constantly be on the brink of death or we will find a way to make it happen.

    Trump made the remarks Thursday during a campaign stop at the New York Economic Club. “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,” Trump said. “Elon has agreed to head the task force,” Trump added while noting that the task force would be responsible for “making recommendations for drastic reforms” to the government.

    Not sure I love the sound of “drastic reforms to the government”. But if we’re stupid enough to give gim the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania again, it’s what we deserve.

        That’s exactly what it will be. “It is totally not Project 2025 because Musk made it up after heading the task force, right… right? Wait, he came up with all the exact same actions as Project 2025? That must be coincidence.”

      As Gerrymandered as most red states are now and all the voter suppression tactics, I don’t know “stupid enough” would be the cause. The popular vote WILL go to Kamala. It’s whether the gaming of the electoral system can be overcome.

        Honestly, the fact that it’s even close enough for that to matter is a damning indictment of our society. How January 6 wasn’t the end of Trump’s political career and the start of a prison term, I’ll never know.

        Those of us ignorant enough to vote for Trump also vote for the Greg Abbott’s and Ron DeSantis’ of the country. It’s not a popular position these days but we, the little people, includes the poo-brained asshats voting for Trump and the fascist takeover of the American South. But they’re too stupid (or more accurately, willfully ignorant) to understand the scope of what voting for maga and maga-adjacent Republicans really means.

        I guess through a kinder lens our maga neighbors don’t have the perspective required to understand the truth of the world they live in. Some might be wholly incapable, but most just don’t care enough to try. But the societal bubble the average maga voter lives it makes the ethos look pretty appealing. The rhetorical techniques used by maga media and personalities are like psyops level effective.

        It would be irresponsible and incorrect to lay it all at the feet of voters or politicians of any political party. Every American is responsible for what’s going on in the country right now.

        Gerrymandering affects the house. It’s the electoral college that affects the presidential election.
