Trump wants Elon Musk to make the federal government just as efficient as one of his own companies.

Telsa is “the most recalled car brand.” We don’t need government services driven into the ground.

Musk is not
-an employee
-A cabinet member

Musk is:
-ignoring the Constitution
-ignoring our laws
-endangering lives

Musk should have no power. He was not elected, he was not vetted or checked out, he was not nominated and confirmed. He has no business making decisions and policy for our government.

adawehi369.bsky.social•22 days ago

dt does not really want an efficient government that works ... that should pretty obvious to all of us by now ... do you think em will trim the fat out of his govt. contracts ????

zumarider.bsky.social•22 days ago

Like one of his own companies? I’ve lost track of how many went bankrupt. And don’t get me started on the number of casinos that have LOST money.

gruntmusic.bsky.social•22 days ago

Well, ok then, how about as efficient as one of turmp’s companies? NJ Devils football team, turmp steaks, turmp vodka, turmp casino, turmp university, … oh wait, they all went bankrupt.

nls5.bsky.social•21 days ago

if governments successfully be run like businesses they would have done so a long time ago. it’s a special beast regarding knowledge and skills. this is going to end badly.

Guy who bankrupted a casino has little bone fides in judging the success of another business executive.

Just wait until your social security check is recalled.

No one wants a Swastikcar or a Deplorian Truck that spontaneously combusts.

amnam2662.bsky.social•22 days ago

X is also not a success.

june5cleaver.bsky.social•22 days ago

And X, or Twitter as we called it when it was profitable, lost 79% of it's value in less than 2 years.

mr-ewe.bsky.social•22 days ago

I am leaning towards full tinfoil hat conspiracy on this, somehow Musk is manipulating Tesla stock. He did a Nazi salute, Trump signed executive orders ending EV credits, it's the most recalled car, they failed to meet earnings report goals, stock price goes up. Why?

mosawi.bsky.social•22 days ago

Not to mention the employees are not really happy because of the owners of this plagued company. He has people from other countries, mostly India working for him. They receive less wages but I think they have to sign a contract to be in this country. He doesn't want to pay decent wages.

i-gvf.bsky.social•22 days ago

To be fair, required software updates are classified by the government to be recalls.

runningman1111.bsky.social•22 days ago

I truly despise him, but these “ recalls” are usually minor and fixed with over the air software fix.

chuckbad.bsky.social•22 days ago

True enough, but why is the software so faulty? Doesn’t Tesla do extensive quality assurance testing? Or is all of his products like Space X?

runningman1111.bsky.social•22 days ago

Space x has crashes like any space programs. In the early stages of NASA, there were lots of crashes. The way you learn is from mistakes.

Tesla makes most of its money by selling carbon offsets to other companies, the ones who don't make electric cars. You know, that green new deal stuff that 45/47 will be banning soon. The short sightedness of all this is beyond my capacity to understand.

richardknott.bsky.social•22 days ago

Actually most profits are from selling the cars, carbon credits are significant but not the biggest source of income.
Still, supporting a administration that is anti ev, likely to drop carbon credits and torpedo the renewables the energy storage part of the business depends on is dumb

hawthornep.bsky.social•21 days ago

Apparently Tesla is buying the other car companies carbon credits so they can still sell cars in the EU. Tesla failing or even struggling would have a domino effect.

I love cars yet my biggest gripe is normally the interior. Even if the exterior is dirty I want a spotless & flawless interior. My barebones Chevy Equinox surprised me for all the quality touches. Tesla screens melted, steering wheel material disintegrated & seats reminded me of cheap Yugo seats

I say we buy swatstika stickers and put them on Tesla cars so everyone is aware they bought a car from a nazi

sleopold.bsky.social•22 days ago

If a car is a pos, and nobody tells the rest of us, is it truly a pos?

kevinwardrop.bsky.social•22 days ago

Trumps obvious belief that "if someone gets rich, it's a good thing" attitude permeates everything he does. As long as someone (hopefully him) is making cash, nothing that is happening is wrong or bad.

treice.bsky.social•22 days ago

Everyone who owns a Telsa should return it.

j3bster.bsky.social•22 days ago

Musk really must have something on Trump. He keeps promoting everything about him all the time!

newmexicgirl.bsky.social•22 days ago

Excellent point!

Terrible people make terrible business leaders....it's not rocket science. Or in his case maybe he is making rocket science out of terrible leadership.

rozyduck06.bsky.social•22 days ago

Elon wants to take control and then re hire the competent people for Pennies on the dollar. He said citizens should expect problems. Make him prove that. Do not quit and do not help him. Sue. Stay in your jobs.

richardhanley.bsky.social•22 days ago

The one company Musk heads that doesn't require government welfare payments and contracts is X, which is in such bad shape that bank loans to the firm are being sold at 90 cents to the dollar.

poormamanv.bsky.social•22 days ago

Aside from putting out shitty cars the company as a whole is run horribly. There is a gigafactory in my town it is considered the worst place to work. It is so poorly ran they can't keep people and less are applying.

crazy4sherman.bsky.social•22 days ago

No one in his administration is successful at anything other than lying cheating and defrauding. Actually... they're not even successful at that because we know they're doing it. 🙄

No NTSB, no more recalls. Problem solved.

Trump has always said he would run the country like his businesses. Into the ground!

schoolhouserox.bsky.social•22 days ago

And trumpy bankrupted his casinos. What could go wrong with this plan?

dinodemitris.bsky.social•21 days ago

Notice Musk has companies that collect lots of your behavioural data? Tesla, starlink, x- and now access to all government data about you. It’s not to make your life better. He wants to control you. Cut all his products out of your life.

sclisa.bsky.social•22 days ago

This is not quite accurate-- they call things recalls that they fix with a software push. I am NOT a Leon Fan but my 6.5 year old tesla is the best car I have ever has-- fast, handles well, no emissions (charge with solar), cool features.

elodie-odie.bsky.social•22 days ago

And this is including the Kia Soul guys.

maxwellreads.bsky.social•22 days ago

Glad they could take the title away from Ford for once.

vinja24.bsky.social•22 days ago

People are not buying Teslas anymore, and those who have them are trying to sell them. In Denmark several shops selling wine, is now stopping selling American wine because of tariffs. Tourists are not traveling to America anymore, people will not by on Amazon’s anymore and so on.

Tesla workplace had complaints of sexual and racial discrimination:

Tesla was so bad of an employer that they had to flee California to Texas where they can treat their employees like shit without oversight.

They are pathetic and weak.

lordmimey.bsky.social•22 days ago

Ah but that's why they want to do it.

Make the government not work, so that they can turn around and say, "See! Government doesn't work!" and thus they can justify privatizing what they can, and abolishing the rest. Been the neolib/conservative playbook for decades. They're just upping the scale.

lilabell.bsky.social•22 days ago

I would not have one of those ugly Tesla cars if they gave it to me. They catch on fire when the battery is exposed to saltwater.(Hurricans) and there have been reports of the windshield shattering from applying a simple window cleaner solution. Elon can keep the damn things.
