Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."

How is he not in jail? He is an extra-governmental private individual with hacking teams in place at all major agencies of the administrative state. He has no right to do any of what he is doing.
Look no further than the GOP Fascists in Congress who let this all happen by not impeaching The Old Felon ... already.
Then again, who knows how horrible the VP would be. Ugh ... what's his name again? 🙄
If the Democrats don’t run on arresting and criminally punishing the robber barons in this administration - by any means necessary, and treating them as if they’re terrorists, they will have failed as a party.
Elon Musk needs to stop the slash and burn. Look at the data carefully then take action. He’s taking action, not looking at the data and when shit hits the fan, oops, my bad is not an acceptable response
This man is a menace to the world… leaders don’t make mistakes that stop Ebola prevention, nuclear weapons monitors etc… that’s incompetence! He would have fired someone at his company had they made a mistake like that. I can’t wait for his fall.
Hahahaha. Ooops we cancelled Ebola protection.
Oh we also fired the nuclear experts, another oops.
Oh and some planes crashed, or nearly crashed, another oopsie.
Look, if people are killed, uhmm well. We.. We’ll bring them back to life.
Yes, uhmm. You see.
We are going to, the thing , the thing is.
Yes. The, uhh This is a good, an incredible idea.
Yup.
We will bring people back to life. Yup.
It’s coming. When it’s not a couple of people, but a couple thousand people. Or a couple tens of thousands of people. Riots? Mass protests? Just shrugs from rich MAGAs who tamp down or suppress the voices for the murdered? It was just poor people. Or just black people. I don’t care, do you?
My thoughts exactly. Also I still remember that thoughtless print on Melania's jacket as well. It really says it all... how little they care for The People they're supposed to actually serve in the the best way possible.
“So we fucked up but then we corrected it. And then we fucked up again and are still trying to correct it. I’m sure we’ve fucked up more things and hopefully we will find them. But if not, you can’t expect us to be perfect. We did this in just 4 weeks time.”
Note how this mere "advisor" is lording over the room. Wtf. They're only kidding themselves because they aren't fooling The People.
This mthrfker owns them all.

Most of us can’t touch Space-x directly, but t-mobile offers 5g wireless broadband for a fraction of the cost of Starlink and it’s a waaaaaaay better service.
"Mistakes" that are unavoidable when u admit u don't know a fuckin thing about how gov works & aren't too arrogant to ask some fucking questions. He shld be deeply embarrassed & apologetic but he, like most insanely wealthy ppl, is incapable of basic decency.
One person is not qualified to assess the needs and effectiveness of every part of the federal government. No one person has that knowledge. It is a farce for him to infer that he is making educated cuts instead of just cutting essentials for the sake of making cuts. Disgusting arrogance.
If there was any doubt who the real president is, this should remove all doubts . He wasn’t elected, he has no security clearance, hell he wasn’t even born here ( I know the Constitution doesn’t count with the felon, the fascist, & the Repubs).The ultimate trifecta of a disaster
He’s saying this as if there is some urgent necessity to it all. No need to “make mistakes” if you go through all these departments carefully and methodically.
If you’re going to hack away with literal teen hackers & slash with a literal CHAINSAW, with NO OVERSIGHT, then yes, guaranteed mistakes.
At the very least, Trump and his craven suckups dress the part of government people. Why do they let Musk lecture them dressed like a middle aged pedo that wishes he were a teenager again?
Musk: “We will make mistakes (because we don’t care about you). So when we walk in and blow up a building, we WILL blow up some stuff that we didn’t MEAN to blow up. This doesn’t mean that I won’t still make billions off of every single thing I destroy.”
It was the chuckle that did it for me, nervous or otherwise, making a statement that you're playing with people's lives isn't even a mildly amusing oopsie anacdote.
I honestly think he doesn't grasp it. His brother said he's void of empathy. He seems also void of strategic/analytical/scientific thinking. Any one would have told him this is something serious. It vaguely reminds of Johnson's 'let the bodies pile high'. A narcissist? A sociopath.
He has to be. So many lives affected. US based Federal employees, staff providing critical support in countries in crisis, and the people, millions of people who were born in countries that rich countries like to play games with and argue over.
Apart from being a 💩 person, his brain 🧠 is steeped in video games He sees himself as the main character and a few others as supporting characters
Everyone else is seen as NPCs, non player characters
They also don't take this to mean that they should take at least 30 seconds to look into department or project or grant to see what it's for before canceling it and calling the employees lazy leeches. Just shrug it off with a laugh. Kill them all, we'll make more?
Musk really wants the American taxpayers’ money. MAGAts want to hand it to him. Utterly foolish and yet another self-inflicted wound delivered to MAGAts by MAGAts.
If they can't go bankrupt, if there is no competition, then it's not a business. ... And they have only this kind of people who could only work like this.
WHY TF IS THIS GUY RUNNING THE COUNTRY??? Grown-ass men sitting there listening to this drug-addled kook feeding his bottomless pit of an ego while at our expense... 😠🤬😤😡
An unelected immigrant letting our President’s cabinet know exactly who is in charge. And I dgaf what that fool says there is NO WAY in hell they will do anything but balloon the deficit even worse.
Is this really happening, an unelected, conflict of interest fuelled, Nazi sympathiser, addressing a Cabinet Meeting in the USA making light of cancelling Ebola research?
Is it just me, or should people in that room be asking him very direct and specific questions?
Right. HIV is, if anything, more dangerous than Ebola, because it can silently infect thousands before people start dying. Ebola is too …. messy… to go unnoticed.
I can imagine the world ending sometime in the next couple of months and, from a bunker somewhere beneath the debris, the few survivors will hear Elon Musk saying 'Oops-a-daisy!'
I don’t even think Elon cares about Teslas anymore. He’s about to hit it big with these American companies he’s tearing apart and finding “extra money”.
I want someone to ask him.... "Elon, how many innocent people do you suppose will die because of your mistakes? What is the acceptable number of dead kids, per dollar saved, to represent success?"
So again, why is musk part of trump's team? He came late to the election. Does he have something on trump? Is he Putin's watchdog over trump? This can't just be about musk's money.
I think he has the prof that Trump is a Russian asset. Or that Musk helped him to steal the election and is holding that over him. I don’t think it’s about the money he spent. Trump has too big an ego. There has to be something Elon has on him.
Kinda interesting to me (unless I missed something) when musk bought Twitter there was story after story of him selling Tesla shares to fund it.
While 230 mil is a fraction of 44 bil, I have a hard time believing he had that much liquid to just throw in to the election, if anyone catches my drift.
This really is the US-Administration? Council of secretaries of the world-leading country?
From a European point of view I'm sure I will experience the day when the US will get shame red over this as a devastating horrible past.
Right?! You cannot run the united States government like some startup. "Let's throw a buncha shit at the walls and see if anything works" while millions suffer through all the oopsies. I'm about ready to throw some teslas into a harbor.
I can't stand to listen to him. He is just so conceited. They don't think or care about what they cancel. They won't stop and look or ask about something. Sesame St, in Iraq? Yes, it helps the kids learn about diseased and lots of other things.
No, that’s evil P💩S Boer ketamine addict did that on purpose because just like his grifting splotchy skinned VP DonOLD, they get off on the suffering of others.
#Schadenfreude
Did anyone push back on that is why there is a budget process where the experts are told to trim programs and provide input vs scattershot and ‘whoops’?
If the objective is to destroy the institutions of the US so the rich can thrive in the chaos of a new libertarian nation, maybe they aren’t that incompetent.
I doubt he has any authentic authority to cancel anything, especially if it's being done as a result of a law. If an agency is operating under the authority of a law, they're probably the only ones with the authority to make all of the decisions about programs. This is total bs.
Especially as his so-called agency doesn’t officially exist - congress must approve the creation of federal agencies, as well as confirm the appointment of their directors. None of that happened, he’s just carrying on without any jurisdiction.
Musk also talks about the deficit. Here is a chart of US surplus/deficit over the past 25 years. Interesting to see when the deficit was highest (hit: lowest point on chart)
Ohhh, she knows *now*. She found out yesterday when a reporter called her about it. So she’s just likely shitting herself like she drank a gallon of tap water down there.
And I’ll reserve pity for if it comes out she’s just another greed fueled sociopath or not.
It's very simple. Amy Gleason's title is 'DOGE Administrator in Charge of Bus Underbody Inspections'. Musk is just 'Chief Advisor to be Followed Without Question'.
We accidentally canceled life-saving policies like Ebola prevention, medical care, food supplies, scientific research, air traffic control and…well you get the idea…
When you put idiots…I mean geniuses…in charge…you get the worst…I mean best… catastrophes…I mean atrocities…no wait outcomes…🫠

This shouldn’t be accepted in any capacity.
Where are the adults in the room?
NOT!!!
Morons. The only way Musk companies have made money is from billions in government handouts. Welfare queen.
Fkg idiots.
Oh we also fired the nuclear experts, another oops.

The dead bodies, traumatized minds, and such....
Ebola support never cameback.

Or we’re ants at his picnic 🧺
Accident is a euphamism for "we got caught."
To get the screwworms out, the USDA to this day maintains an international screwworm barrier along the Panama-Colombia border.
Is it just me, or should people in that room be asking him very direct and specific questions?
More people need to understand tv world isn't real
The world is real, what is not real are the conditions men impose upon others to benefit themselves.
But NYT: Elon is radically changing the government with little constraint.
Fuck the people.
Things get fucked up.
A lot...
Meanwhile, the House passes a budget with at $2.8 trillion deficit increase (largely due to a handout to people like Musk).
It's BS all the way up and down and the media needs to be calling it out in REAL TIME.
Fucking up on ebola is kind of a big deal no?
What's the big whoop?
We're moving fast and breaking things!
When "mistakes" kill people, who will be held responsible?
"Take off your hat, you balding b*tch."
When someone else is in the limelight — ALWAYS check F47. He looks very insignificant.
JFC, someone wake our country up, and tell us this is all just a bad dream. Thanks.
Which he, in fact, HAS.
AND those stupid sunglasses he wears LITERALLY look like what the eye doctor gives me after he (intentionally) dilates MY pupils. BINGO! 🎯
(Ketamine's potential to cause sensitivity to light, or photophobia; Neurological Light Sensitivity: Cortical Hyperexcitability)
I’m not familiar with it. But I was going to comment it looked like intentional blackout curtains.
Perhaps, so they can still feel like they’re living under rocks like the leeches they are.🪨
But side-effects of ketamine sounds more likely.

Measles, ebola... You name it.
The hospitals will be overwhelmed and inoperant
From a European point of view I'm sure I will experience the day when the US will get shame red over this as a devastating horrible past.
These are peoples lives, not some bad social media platform. Elmo and Trump value nothing, but themselves. Idiots.
#Schadenfreude
Maybe have some checks and balances to avoid mistakes.
You know, the "I'm an Asshole, Get used to it" principle.
That's okay, Elon. We know.
He is the King of Assholia.
Let me repeat that: they knowingly are killing people. Say it loud.
This is extraordinarily gross incompetence.
