They aren't "making government more efficient". They're destroying the anti-scam police, cutting pediatric cancer research and destroying social security while brazenly lying about it.

Who watches this guys show. He is the blandest, absolutely drab commentator. Intellectual light weight. We are living in "emperor with no close" reality. Elon musk is out there butt naked and everyone telling him how nice his suit is. He is so dumb.
Kyle, I just accidentally emailed
the access codes to all of the
refueling schedules for American
nuclear power plants to a Russian
IT guy I worked with on a project
last year.
I’m not in trouble, am I?
Used to watch you I’m done. I’m glad you have the job and status to keep you safe. Not the case for everyone else. You’re outa touch! Join Rogan in your partisan demise!
The foundations of democracy feel increasingly precarious, not under siege from tanks in the streets, but from something perhaps more insidious: a 'slow strangulation' conducted from within. Across the democratic world, norms erode,
Friedman and all these podcast know nothings are suuuuch massive hacks.
They see that DOGE is a fraud, blatantly, in their faces. It's named after a fucking ten year old meme, for fuck's sake. But they've gotta pretend the emperor's clothes are beautiful.
Yeah, and if they really want to be cheered on, they could show proof instead of just tweeting misinformation. They ARE running it like a business, though, hording the wealth while cutting the labor force that produces results.
Kyle you don't understand, after we've been scammed out of all our money and working till the day we die to take care of our cancer-ridden kids America will be great again.
No no magas think that they'll get UBI from Elon Musk if we stop spending money on transgender mice or something.
No clue what they think to rationalize killing kids with cancer. Party of infinite suffering and death
Although people discuss the tendrils of the rightwing podcast ecosystem a lot more these days, the focus is largely on JRE and the like when it’s dudes like Lex that are more insidious IMO. I also can’t get over his best bro Huberman finally bringing on Jordan fucking Peterson for a 4-hour interview
Lex Fridman is the most pseudo-intellectual, confidently wrong, banal, boring, I’ve-experienced-more-interesting-shits human in the pro-fascist manosphere. How anyone with a functional intellect listens to this dude is a total mystery to me.
He really isn't this closeted fascist. I watched his videos. He has on both left and right wingers. He seems more naive than anything. He has on Ezra Klein and Narendra Modi, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump.
If you're having fascists on your show and not pressing them on their rhetoric, actions, and the inevitable outcomes, you're not naive, you're part of the problem. If you lick the feet of neo-reactionaries seeking to destroy democracy and rule the masses as technokings, you're part of the problem.
I remember when he had the uber-feminist chess-master Botez sisters on, and he asked them if he should invite Andrew Tate on the show. At best, he's very "both sides"-ish, the very thing Kyle rightfully complains about.
There's a name I haven't heard in a LONG time! You're being very generous to Lex. Based on my limited exposure, Buckley had much more intellectual, political, and ideological firepower than Fridman ever will. I say that as someone who loathes WFB and his carcinogenic brand of conservativism.
Fair point -- To take as an example, I remember how the Botez girls had to explain to Lex what a Romance Language is. To me this is indicative that he's probably less well-rounded in general cultural knowledge than even someone like WFB was.
Making government ‘more efficient’ by cutting essential services like anti-fraud protections, pediatric cancer research, and Social Security isn’t efficiency—it’s sabotage. Lex dressing up harming everyday people as some noble mission is showing his true colors.
That's only from the taxes that aren't going to be collected due to his gutting of the IRS. There's the outright graft from DOGE themselves, and of course the damage their brainless cutting causes, which is going to cost a fuckton to fix.
I enjoy the way he just takes everything at the face of what people say. And conveniently always ends up supporting the bad shit. He’s either really stupid or malicious no in between.
No way anybody can say he's not a dick riding grifter now.
Any serious effort to improve eliminate waste and fraud would have been done in conjunction with the Inspector Generals because that's what they were already doing.
DOGE is just congress-bypassing privatization and deregulation scam.
How many fucking bots am I gonna have to hear from saying the exact same positive words about Elon and Trump before we just start calling them out as bots. So done with these same tired statements from blue checks who don't know what they're talking about.
I truly can't believe after all of this, there are still people who support this nazi admin. I will NEVER feel sorry for the nazi magats and never forgive. May everything they voted for heavily, directly impact them first (which i know it already is). They need to feel the weight of their decision!
This supposed "Centrist" have to be destroyed they cannot keep going pretending their in the middle when clearly they are far right and playing stupid to their base
He, like another ex soviet persona Kisin, are so antisocialist it hurts the brain. The inferiority complex, the generational trauma.. it skews perception.
Also, he's lying imo

Social media MAGA influencers are literally the dumbest people on earth, a poisonous clique of talentless boring brainless morons

Then I realised he was one of those who is on first name terms with ‘Elon’ and pushes the ‘Elon is a genius and our saviour’ propaganda.
Absolute melt. Didn’t watch again
Trump/Putin asset imho. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lex_Fridman
Efficient by what metrics?
Because just slashing spending without any understanding of what it was paying for is incredibly stupid.
Some of the deepest cuts are to the departments that make the most money.
