Musk seems super manic a lot. Maybe the ketamine exacerbates the mania.

Act accordingly

Of course it’s chaotic on purpose. That’s how you weed out the people who have options (will speak up when you fvck up) and create a distraction for stealth EOs and Republican shenanigans in Congress.

Narrator: it *is* chaotic on purpose, but our heroes haven’t figured out why… yet

vanillarage.bsky.social•32 days ago

Flash forward to November 2026, at a Nevada rally ...polls dropping like a stone, economy in shambles, rioting in the streets, alliances shattered, America more and more alone...

Trump, always one to find an escape hatch, decides to go for the Kill Shot!

Catch my series... American Oligarchs!

Of course it's on purpose. Musk lives for upturning the lives of the workforce and disrupt any sense of empowerment they ever felt.

He doesn't want them to feel respected, content and happy with their jobs. He wants them sleepless and on edge so he can control them.

Chaos and distraction are their strategies. Believe nothing.

It IS on purpose!! They are destroying us in broad daylight.

It's called sabotage.

geo54p.bsky.social•33 days ago

It's all a power grab. Musk first went after the people who were investigating him and now he is going after the sections he wants to install his own people, so he can get more of our tax dollars.

dutchgenx.bsky.social•33 days ago

It is chaotic on purpose. It's Elons MO: invest in a company (country), wreck it to the ground and reform it in his image. This is the wrecking phase.

18F sounds like a group they shouldn’t make angry. Oh well, more government workers that are in the good fight of streamlining/optimizing government. It’s like a big conspiracy that employees aren’t also fighting waste, fraud, and abuse. So far they’re just being abused by the administration.

it IS. I'm thankful for your commentary and perspective, but I fail to understand why you continue to highlight and amplify the vibe of "confusion". like "why is this happening" and "we just don't understand" or "here is my theory on the real reason behind things" - people need focus, not confusion

I’m finally getting it. It’s war. We are at war with Russia. But if we think of it wisely, there are not enough Russian troops here. Let’s get it together, people.

The absolute epitome of how damaging the Trump//DOGE approach of reducing government bloat.

All of this is meant to paralyze us with fear and confusion.

randylasagna.bsky.social•33 days ago

Musk wants contracts with every part of our government, which would be like privatizing it to one person.

okay7.bsky.social•33 days ago

When he’s finally forced out our government won’t be able to function at all. His attacks on the FBI, CIA, DOD, and related departments will leave them unable to protect us from domestic and foreign threats and attacks.

es527.bsky.social•33 days ago

Once again, color me shocked! DOGE is disbanding a team dedicated to making the government more efficient, something Musk claims to support. America, wake up — you're being conned.

olddale.bsky.social•33 days ago

Isn’t Elon’s entire team, and himself, classed as ‘probationary employees’? How is it they haven’t been fired yet?

Close many foreign military bases have not needed for decades and then use savings to employ more veterans, improve services at VA Hospitals & military hospitals, improve drinking water safety on military bases, more loans for Veteran owned businesses, etc.

Of course it’s chaotic on purpose that’s the point, chaos fear and division. That’s their goal. Keep everyone confused and scared as they takeover. Don’t be fooled by the lies

It IS on purpose! Part of a plan to collapse our economy, declare an emergency,and take over completely.

blackcat1111.bsky.social•33 days ago

Their arguments do NOT hold up. Dave McCormick, freshman Russiapublican Senator from Pennsylvania, thinks we will take his word for it that DOGE is "auditing" the Federal Government for waste and fraud. The problem with that is I have 10+ year's of experience as a bank executive, a global bank. 1/

blackcat1111.bsky.social•33 days ago

Dear Senator McCormick,

Thank you for your correspondence.

While your message is appreciated, I take issue with...

"With our federal budget running an annual deficit of nearly $2 trillion, such an audit is a crucial first step towards reducing unnecessary government spending."
2/

blackcat1111.bsky.social•33 days ago

3/
DOGE is not conducting an audit. This claim is inaccurate and also misleading. As publicly reported by multiple news outlets, the Trump Administration and Musk fired the Inspectors General from the federal agencies they are siphoning the information from and did not bring in auditors.

blackcat1111.bsky.social•33 days ago

4/ To audit, one must have the mechanisms and professionals in place to do so. Those mechanisms have been gutted. In addition, as former business executives we understand how conflicts of interest sow distrust and breed unethical behavior.

blackcat1111.bsky.social•33 days ago

5/ For months, Trump and Musk publicly proclaimed that Musk would lead DOGE; however, Musk's extensive contracts with the Federal Government must raise alarm bells. These conflicts of interest mean that he is a biased third-party, not a neutral one.

blackcat1111.bsky.social•33 days ago

6/ Insider dealing is unacceptable and a bad outcome for all of your constituents.

The budget itself requires context -- and as you noted our country's debt is growing. It's unhelpful to describe the issue as increasing debt, without addressing the primary driver of the increase:

broghan76.bsky.social•33 days ago

If Musk, Trump and all their fanatics were good at business, wouldn’t have do a cost/benefit analysis before taking a chainsaw to every thing. There is a huge cost benefit to USAID in the lives saved and the soft diplomacy it generates.

broghan76.bsky.social•33 days ago

Someone should correct me but I think they produce $78 in savings for every $1 that is spent. Inspectors General save $56 for every $1. The IRS collects $3 in back taxes for every $1 spent. The wealthy pay a huge percentage of the back taxes?

bowlingtogether.bsky.social•33 days ago

It's sadistic, and it feels like it's sadistic on purpose. When you have billions, and can buy anything, maybe what excites you (if you are a sick man) is having the ability to cause human suffering on a grand scale. Reminds me of the short story The Most Dangerous Game -- hunting humans for sport.

And #1 -they want to outsource all the upgrades that are done in-house via 18F to his buddies for more expensive contract work. Hell, all of em apply.

Elon Musk is a worthless rich brat he doesn't care about anybody or anything not even his own kids except himself and his money he looks like a buffoon every time he gets up there every time he speaks it's just I just want to vomit this guy has no business in our government
