Quite understandably, because he grew up in Pretoria and didn’t start working as an illegal immigrant in the United States until the mid- or late 1990s, Elon never got to watch that Schoolhouse Rock episode on bills and laws and stuff.

@halsparks.com mentioned this and pointed out that backwards it's eGod...another manifestation of him putting himself above the rest of humanity. Hal is a good follow on here and on YouTube. If nothing else, he's tenacious and hilarious.
If you’d be so kind, I’ve had a legal question that bothers me: doesn’t the Supreme Court ruling of absolute immunity to the POTUS mean Trump can avoid the constitution and do whatever he wants? Like dismantle the Senate if he considers it a “official duty”?
Two egomaniacs. Perhaps Donnie is betting their egos will clash, they will jockey for preeminence and donnie love and cancel each other out a they implode. This is a set up for failure. The only place Donnie want fed $$ to go is in his pocket.
I know they told me a History Major was a waste of time, but I didn’t know they meant it was because 25 years later I’d be pulling my hair out of my head at the lack of historical knowledge in this country 😱. Add another example to “You can’t fix stupid”.
I cannot stress how embarrassed I am as a South African 🇿🇦 that Elon Musk is playing a part in destroying your democracy. He lived here in apartheid era so reinforcing it heavily now in USA 🇺🇸 HE IS A POES OF NOTE !!!
I'm screaming from the rooftop here: This is on purpose. white Nationalist agenda: to ruin the economy creating an environment to tear down and rebuild the government. It's on purpose.
Aside from the obvious fracture to the foundation of our country, nothing like the government initiating job loss and unemployment. I'm assuming g unemployment will be dismantled somewhere in his plan. Perhaps they will be in the fields once they deport the farm workers. I can't deal.
But he witnessed vote-buying, apartheid, misygony, and SA political corruption firsthand.That is a lot of Afrikaaner street cred to bring to the table.
We need a School House Rock to explain tariffs to people that still think the foreign country pays them. Cartoons and catchy tunes seems to work with this crowd.
They do plan on basically throwing out the Constitution. What I think will be interesting is when Trump dies or is incapacitated. I think there will be a power war between Musk and Vance.
Muskrat has the typical right-thinking South African boer mindset. 🙄🙄🙄
Ex-Saffer here, but Rhodesian (Zimbabwe) born. I never fitted in, I’m very comfortable as a liberal in 🇨🇦
I have no desire to read anything these idiots write, say or promote. Tell me where to fight and why and I'll be there, beyond that they can fuck all the way off. Including tweets, skeets, or otherwise
Note: Trump is saying that “Republican politicians,” not “the American people” are clamoring for what he wants Elon and Vivek to do to American bureaucracy. This effort will fail spectacularly.
And the s*** show continues, Matt Gates as attorney general. If he's willing to pick Matt Gates then Marjorie and Bobert are next up. I can't wait till this whole thing blows up!
Also, American history lessons. Bragging about this move being "the Manhattan Project of our time" is not exactly a great analogy. But OTOH maybe it's foreboding.
Please tell me what institution is going to stop this? The incoming president will have immunity. He can pardon E. Would sincerely like, look to you for, a reassuring answer. Thanks.
Can you imagine the tons of paper he’ll be buried under looking at federal spending? Just social programs will take years. Sounds like busy work to keep an active toddler occupied. Bet he’s bored with it in 3..2..1…
I wonder if Musk ever watched Animal House.
The new cabinet selections remind of the movie. As some misfits go to the "cool" fraternity, they keep getting taken into the room with all the misfits. Matt Gaetz as AG? Kristi Noem as HS head? All of them are misfits. Frightening.
So basically we have 2 guys.... that were NOT elected, NOR actually appointed with any congressional oversight..... meh...what can go wrong..../eye roll/ sarcasm/ #WeRDoomed
So in two+ years they will come up with a plan and at that point Trumpy will have a year and a half to get Congress to implement this said plan. 🤣 Sounds like a bridge to nowhere.
You talk about fighting Trump at his ego level. If you want to get rid of them, start talking about Co-President Musk and how Trump has to have a co because he knows nothing about how to lead. Talk about how Musk is the real power. Trump doesn’t like to share credit.
So let’s get this right ,Musk originally here illegally and Ramaswamy American only by birth. his parents were not yet citizens when he was born , they are going to be heads of a department that don’t exist to destroy all the crucial departments already in existence , EPA, FDA, Education , SSI ..
My 'favorite' part of Trump's statement here was him saying this could become the Manhattan Project of its time. And thinking, well it could certainly blow up and be catastrophic if that's what you're talking about 😏
Of course, if this follows Rump's track record....then the GOOD news is....Mush should be destroyed within a year... as everyone he gets involved in.....loses everything. 😀
Maybe it's not a bad idea to check the government spending attitude.With the wright mindset and eye measurement that would be a good thing. But can you imagine how this two Cowboys will enter this arena??😅Feels a bit like entering " Gotham City"
Did you see there was a deadline? It says, "Their work will conclude no later than July 4, 2026."
Basically a little over a year, "to dismantle Govt Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies." I hope GROK is up to the challenge.
I don't know if I'm wrong about this but doesn't it require Congress to create a new governmental organization and aren't they required to give them powers to do things?
He's trolling. Same with "American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy" & "Together, these two wonderful Americans". He knows how unlikeable they are among decent people. Gird yourselves.
This is so dumb. So many economy destroying programs from one admin….deport 5-10% of labor, tariffs to increase prices and now reduce 2T of “waste” from the govt, which in turn will reduce GDP by probably an approximately same amount ~4% or so….awesome
Super funny, George. I know everybody's so much nicer over here but I will never accept your feeble about-face. You concern yourself with income and influence. You celebrated the rise of this POS as an ideological soulmate. You are the worst kind of grifter to me.
Conscription was compulsory for white male school and university graduates during the apartheid era here. Some tried to put it off by staying at university. Others left to study abroad. There were conscientious objectors harassed by the state. Not sure which category the Musk brothers belongs to.
Growing up in a conservative white Pretoria community pre-1994 means that Leon - given the state’s media restrictions- would have lived an idyllic life as a kid, never witnessing the brutality of apartheid. His interaction with black people would have been mostly restricted to unskilled workers.
I was just thinking about Schoolhouse Rock and how important it was to my early civic education! It’s such a shame that there hasn’t been anything even remotely as culturally universal since and the kids are worse off for it
BUT BUT BUT he knows those rules and regulations don’t matter anymore. Why do you think he endorsed him? He can’t be president BUT he can be co-president on the DL. Either way all his ridiculous appointments will be confirmed. I mean he’s a felon.🤷♀️
Not sure if that would have checked his megamaniacal impulses, but not understanding our system of government makes it worse. A lot of voters apparently didn't learn their civics, either.
😊Been singing “I'm just a bill.Yes, I'm only a bill. And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill. Well, it's a long, long journeyTo the capital city. It's a long, long wait While I'm sitting in committee,But I know I'll be a law somedayAt least I hope and pray that I will,But today I am still just a bill.”
I was just talking to my brother the other day & wistfully mourning the lack of a "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly get your tariffs here" Schoolhouse Rock episode. Perhaps it would've made a difference now😄😞
Any bets on whether Orange Caligula has ever heard of the Manhattan Project? He probably thinks it is one of his slumlord father’s apartment buildings.
His handlers come up with soundbites I realize. But really? Entrepreneurial approach to government? If you are personally trying to expand your government agency like an entrepreneur, that sounds like old fashioned consolidation of power.
There is nothing to understand about Elon Musk apart from him being an absolute and irrefutable enemy of all people who are not straight white males, and an enemy of all people who love democracy, beauty, the Earth and all of its’ inhabitants. #LockHimUp #BanishMusk #BoycottTesla forever.
When I heard about this I immediately thought this is a kick in the nuts to Musk. It is pushing him out of the administration and giving him a probable insignificant job. He is also making him work with Vivek which will not be easy.
I read somewhere that DOGE is the name of the cryptocurrency that Elon Muskrat has been promoting. It is called DOGE coin.
I swear it seems as though they're playing on our psyche by naming a fake government department that he and Ramaswamy will run to promote it, because why else?

Should probably be deported, right?
Trump bankrupted a casino and Elon chased away all his advertisers because he's a space nazi.
Louisiana hugs to you.
Moving forward.
Double standard hypocrites, the whole lot of 'em.
The guy danced on stage like grandpa having a bad day...for 38 minutes.
This just doesn't make any sense at all. And we're all going to suffer.
We are so effed.

It's called curiosity, which is 180° opposite to hubristic ignorance.
Checked with u haul and they say I can fit 100 pairs of shoes. How many trips do I need? 😜

All BS.

Pick the two most egotistical inbreeds who thrive on attention, put them in an office together, give them a mic
I foresee no problems
Thank you, thank you! You’re a wonderful audience! I’m here all week. Be sure to tip your waitress!
WTF.
Citizens we have more power than we think, withold our federal taxes, NATIONAL STRIKE
But mostly schoolhouse rock taught me about it.
And conjunctions, adverbs, nouns and adjectives. ;)
The last thing might be the only accurate part.
.
Guess it will be 4 years of insanity, mixed in with exaggerations, total lies & complete disregard for the welfare of this country.
Good job magats.
