Trump just realized Bruce Springsteen isn't a fan? Buddy, if he'd listened to "Born in the U.S.A." for more than the chorus, he'd know Bruce has been singing about opposing everything he stands for since literally forever. 🎸
He got what he wanted. Reduced, if not non-existent, regulation of his businesses. Mission accomplished. Rendering government completely ineffectual would have been an added bonus.
Hey @meidastouch.com can you confirm the details of this and if it is true push this story? This seems to be the perfect combination of details for something that could actually hurt trump a little on the right https://bsky.app/profile/mjfree.bsky.social/post/3lq2ea5cdbk2g
Running a government is not the same as running a business. Much of the function of a government does not involve making a profit. Especially when the means of funding is dependent on public trust to serve the public, both rich and poor. EQUALLY! If only one group is being served, then trust is done
Interesting how Dutch and Afrikaner Nazis are all the rage at the White House, now. There really is a white minority desperate for the "old ways", i.e., apartheid, segregation, exclusion, etc.
And you. He has your personal information and is still seeking more if it.
Tech billionaires don't believe you have a right to privacy and that they have a both right and a moral obligation to surveil every part of your life, collect the data, and share it.
The dumber a guy is, the smarter he thinks he is, if he gets rich. And the dumbest of all are the born rich who never earn an honest buck. They think they’re geniuses. Cf. Trump and Musk.
Yeah, I wish we’d destroyed Elon. I bet Elon succeeded at what he tried to do, which was absolutely not saving anyone any money. Anyone who doesn’t see Elon is only out for Elon and not interested in helping anyone at all, after all these years of watching his shit, is a damn fool.
They aren’t cutting gov. waste, they’re cutting investigations against them as a guise when they blends in all bs gov. cuts without merits. They just don’t care if the our gov goes malfunctioning as long their asses are safe for now.
Is people believing Elon Musk is intelligent still a thing? I thought his lack of intelligence was the one fact Musk himself was finally able to convincingly demonstrate.
Elon had the wrong mission. It should have been to balance the budget and pay down the debt, while maintaining economic growth and full employment. Instead his mission was to put on a show and make way for tax cuts for himself and other billionaires; he did not fail, yet!!! Tax Them Billionaires!!!
Ahem, if you were the smartest man on earth, then you would’ve done your homework and you would’ve known the kind of resistance you’d encounter. The US citizens are by no means perfect but we’re a rebellious bunch!
Muskrat loves muskrat.
One man’s waste is another man’s livelihood. I’m sure there actually is waste, fraud and abuse in government. It’s too bad that the GOP goons don’t actually care about that. It’s just a cover story while they rob our country blind. FORENSIC ACCOUNTANTS not tech bros called Big Ballz is one clue! 🧠🧐
It’s really sad to see how they weaponize this nonsense about “waste and fraud” to dismantle the most popular parts of the civil service and federal bureaucracy, then claim that 73% of people wanted it.
Just like the old “welfare queens” canard. Right wing traitor lunatics need to be stopped.
Saying being against government waste means that you have to support DOGE, is like saying that if you don't like diarrhoea you have to like being stabbed in the gut.
The bombing already started with the firings, ending of grants, and killing research projects. The "big beautiful bill" will put the hospitals out of business... or they'll have to stop allowing the public to seek treatment and accept only private pay patients.
What Govt waste?Biggest waste is frm the Pentagon
Ur going to accept the words of a known liar, Musk. DT's a liar, his ppl are also liars. Whr's his proof?Show us the evidence. He's got Nothing. The vile snake won't testify b4 Congress. That's sure is a red flag. He, DT have No credibility.
I've often wondered just how low your self-esteem has to be to kiss the ass of some trust-fund baby, idea buying person like Elon Musk. It's gotta be on the floor.
DOGE was the biggest failure in my life time. It cost thousands of workers their jobs. It only protected Elons best interests. It exposed all our personal and SSN data and who knows what else. Made us less secure, vulnerable, cost us money. We still don’t know the extent of damage.
Tech Lords aren't going to do ANYTHING for their slaves. They want their slaves to work till they can't anymore and then die ASAP. Which is pretty much how feudalism always worked. The Tech Lords see no value of any kind in the rest of us. We are expendable to them.
Sadly... very sadly, Musk will move on from DOGE and resume the life he had prior to, while thousands have had their lives upended and may have little to no means of resuming their lives without months and months of struggle. Mustk stripped these people of the security they built for themselves.
Matt Van Swol-lowed it hook, line and sinker.
Missed the part where Dogé found waste, fraud and corruption in Medicare [dis]ADVANTAGE, or any other government CORPORATIST Contractor.
Maybe Elon isn’t the smartest man on earth. 🤷♀️
And to be fair, of course 70 plus percent are in favor of eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. I’m surprised the number isn’t a lot higher.
When you ask who supports DOGE the number goes down because some people see the lies. It’s not complicated!
This guy Matt is from Asheville where I also live and he was really big in the fall and winter on the false narrative that Biden left us high and dry with FEMA and Trump is saving us. I am no longer on the other site so I’d be interested to see his posts from the last few days on that.
Musk wasn't cutting waste, he was using a meat axe to go after anything he could get at without any thoughts or proof of waste, fraud or anything else. As for him being the smartest guy on the planet. Give me a break. He may be good at tech, but as far as anything else, he's a total fucking moron.
I have no idea who this fan-boy is but I feel the need to help him out. The left destroyed the unconstitutional actions. There are ways to cut government waste. DOGE is not one. For my part, the reason he was savaged by Pro-Democracy people was the outright glee he showed in the unilateral power.
Elon’s best was a failure. Rejected by the American people. Like his ridiculous truck. I would argue that he’s not very smart at all but I hate to state the obvious.
@meidastouch.com please speak out on this failure.
If you remain silent on Israel's actions in Gaza then you are no different than the Nazis that perpetrated the Holocaust. Contact your government leaders and demand an immediate ceasefire and end the blockade.
I hope people don’t forget what Elon has done to our country. If they keep him on their mind they’ll never buy a Tesla or invest in anything he’s connected to.
And "destroyed" Musk how, exactly? He's still one of the richest humans to ever live, getting MORE lucrative government contracts, destroying agencies seeking to hold his businesses accountable, and using our government to strong-arm small countries into service contracts with Starlink.
Who determined he's the smartest man on the planet?
I think there is ample evidence against that assertion.
He may be the richest, but that doesn't make him the smartest.
That was his main reason for running again. But to be fair, he also planned to make a fortune—stock market manipulation, his meme coin, Truth Social stock games, donor cash funneled to his businesses, and the return of emoluments. Two birds, one stone. It truly is the art of the deal. 😟
...Leon is a corporate welfare queen who spent millions of dollars to put our federal government into shambles, instead of paying money to resolve his "daddy issues"...
Unfortunately we believe it
and the 73% do not support what you did with the phone numbers and illegal government layoffs and cuts
and because your were so BAD at what you did
we hate you even more
Of course they aren't voting on it. It was a smash n' grab before there was a legal apparatus capable of dealing with it. The looting is done. It was always disposable.
‘Rich’ does not equal ‘smart’. Wish they’d start realizing that. Musk didn’t “invent” Tesla, he bought it. Musk didn’t build rocket ships, he bought them and pays people to operate them. They need to quit equating wealth with intelligence; it’s one of the most destructive lines of thought
The GAO (along with IG at times) is & has been the FWA bloodhounds of Congress.
The only, ONLY, reason its efforts & results are not championed is the GAO "recommends" actions to Congress. And congress listens to lobbiest (money) more
Smartest man on Earth? Does Matt think that Elon invented the Tesla car and the SpaceX rocket?
Please don’t anyone tell Matt the truth about the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus. There is no telling what Matt might get do in such a state of despondency!
A kindergartener with crayons and scissors could have done a better job - at least the 5yr old would have cared about the final work product as opposed to just random hacking & making a mess.
Matt doesnt listen to polls. Musk didnt cut waste, fraud.
Gop supported Musk
Stole citizen data
Gutted depts
Wrecked depts to privatize them
All w/o Congressional oversight which is unconstitutional.
Gop reckless, clueless, incompetence.
The swamp is pretty confined to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave... The cost to sort that out will be years of chaos undoing DOGE's script kiddies total lack of concern for consequences to their idiotic cuts..
I AGREE WITH ELON: he did his best: to stuff his pockets, with everything he could steal, in the short time he was allowed. His daddy "don the con" never stopped grinning, and patting him on the head!
The US tax take that goes on public services is the same level as African countries. Europeans spend more than double the US level. The smaller government hysteria is just hysteria when there is no target for what an efficient government looks like - can anyone from congress put numbers on that?
Keep up the pressure! He is not defeated, he’s pouting because he thinks we’re mean. He is making billions off us. Make him pay dearly for his callous, maniacal grift. He should be in jail for what he’s done or he will continue to take and plant his seeds of hate, racism, misogyny & white supremacy.

Elon finally legalized Comedy
Lmao
People support cutting government waste, but government delivers services without much waste. Rs have lied about this for decades.
Elon is too stupid to admit that he doesn’t know everything and jumps to whatever conclusion suits him.
Elon is a fraud and a thief.
Muskrat loves muskrat.
Just like the old “welfare queens” canard. Right wing traitor lunatics need to be stopped.
We'll take it!

It’s like saying, 99% of people want to decrease the number of people hospitalized and then an organization just bombs all hospitals.

They can set up a nice Logan's Run ending for retirees as a reward.
Also, that's not admitting defeat.
That's whining, "I did my best," and contextually implicating his/maga's rage enemies of choice/moment.
Being factually means including full context. It's still inexorably damning.
Except for them personally, since they are a genius and should be rich, but ______ stopped them unfairly.
Some CEO!
Who knew?
Great job from the "smartest man on earth".
The dumbest c*nt who ever lived.
And the left was right.
About everything.
Again.

Musk's talent is exploiting the work of others for his own benefit.
American victims of Elon Musk: "You are not going to get away that easy. We have your Nazi receipts for future trials."
If you remain silent on Israel's actions in Gaza then you are no different than the Nazis that perpetrated the Holocaust. Contact your government leaders and demand an immediate ceasefire and end the blockade.

A proud day for @teslamotorsinc.bsky.social
He deserves to be arrested for treason, stripped of his citizenship, and deported as an enemy of the state.
I think there is ample evidence against that assertion.
He may be the richest, but that doesn't make him the smartest.
Does someone need to let Matt know that there were already government entities focused on F/W/A prior to Trump/Musk's DOGE boondoggle?
and the 73% do not support what you did with the phone numbers and illegal government layoffs and cuts
and because your were so BAD at what you did
we hate you even more
Doge isn't cutting either fraud or waste.
Musk is the richest man on earth, not the smartest. Amazing how the right can't grasp that wealth and intelligence are NOT the same.
* Elonia is far from being the smartest man on Earth.
He's a broke-dick, white supremacist corporate raider.
* People that don't like Nazis boycotted Elonia.
* DOGE found no fraud.
* Elonia is on multiple drugs.
DOGE was/is a paper umbrella.
The GAO (along with IG at times) is & has been the FWA bloodhounds of Congress.
