Here you see Musk’s minus 50 Social IQ kicking in. He can’t relate to a person with ideas divergent from his. He’s a my way, or the highway operator.

The Goebbels Department

You better up your ball game NYT because us in Europe have seen this before from up close and it also costed almost half a million American lives and this radicalized South African spam Nazi thinks he can do it all over again

Pirates will fight. A real fight! 🏴‍☠️

REMINDER: DOGE is NOT a governmental agency because no law has been passed by Congress to establish that agency & its directive. This is oligarchy making itself comfortable. https://youtu.be/OE4zxbqmBzE

Is that going to really matter? He empowered DOGE thru an EO. Even if it's not authorized by Congress who is going to stop them, DOGE will target the federal government $$ including the social safety net to be robbed & used to back their Bitcoin/crypto fantasies.

The Nazi Salute Guy wants to sidestep the democratic process of congressional budget approval to dictate government spending cuts.

Even here in France, we are horrified by this pathetic column.
Who the fuck writes in the WaPo ?

But apparently no one at WaPo has ever taken a Civics or a US government class, otherwise they’d realize that rather than mislead what few subscribers they have left.

You really think a Republican controlled Congress would do anything but roll over?

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•32 days ago

It will take 60 senators to overturn that legislation. They don’t have the votes.

vivbernstein.bsky.social•32 days ago

They will abolish the filibuster to do Trump’s bidding.

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•32 days ago

John Thune, Senate Majority Leader, already said he won’t abolish the filibuster. McConnell refused to do it during Trump’s first term & Thune was McConnell’s handpicked successor.

Oligarchy was here already. Now it’s officially part of government

Elon musk vai deitar e rolar se locupletando do que é do povo americano

sniffit.bsky.social•32 days ago

100% ENTIRELY FALSE. THIS IS WAPO AND BEZOS CELEBRATING THAT ALL THEY HAD TO DO TO FURTHER THE PLUTOCRATIC OLIGARCHY AND FURTHER ENRICH OLIGARCH BEZOS WAS ASSIST IN THE MAGAT KKKULT'S PLAN TO ESTABLISH PERMANENT KKKRISTOFASCIST MINORITY RULE AND EVISCERATE REGULATORY PROTECTIONS FOR NON-OLIGARCHS.

Do they all have to take hits of KETAMINE?

Congress has never created a department called DOGE....A PRESIDENT CANNOT JUST MAKE A DEPARTMENT WITHOUT CONGRESS APPROVAL

retteb.bsky.social•32 days ago

Congress has never created this falsecentity called Doge.....this is not something a President can create without Congress

That's like comparing an idiot to a moron or trash to garbage.

Sacking 1/4 of employees isn’t efficiency - it’s cruelty.

realcdndude.bsky.social•32 days ago

As CEO of Tesla Musk manages $88B of expenses and has 35 direct reports, he is a control freak. Who is managing them while he fins $2T to cut from $6.8T of spending? Yes he slashed X's spending, but by all accounts X's value is now significantly lower. He has no credentials to support this role.

robonds.bsky.social•32 days ago

This is what Elon asked for in order to buy the election for Trump.

The USA Government.

fionduffield.bsky.social•32 days ago

They say Governments don’t have the ability run and operate companies, it’s very much the same companies don’t have the capacity to run governments, but looks like the US is going to try, incoming chaos

bofusteefus.bsky.social•31 days ago

Billionaire Nazi. Quit trying to make them look good.

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•32 days ago

You can’t form a new government agency via executive order.
It doesn’t work that way.
Has anyone on your staff taken a Civics or a US Government course?

The President doesn't create departments

megnumbers.bsky.social•32 days ago

Not how you establish departments. What’s this going to cost us?

wclamp.bsky.social•32 days ago

It is dangerous to put a known Nazi in a position where federal agencies can be weakened and made ineffective.

chadpearson.bsky.social•32 days ago

Can we start referring to Musk as N*zi Musk as opposed to Billionaire yet? Example….. “DOGE aims to give the N*zi Elon Musk’s team sweeping access….” reads truthful and terrifying. You might get people to actually want to buy to remove your paywall.

livingwillie.bsky.social•32 days ago

If Elon Musk does for our government, what he’s done to Twitter, the US gov. will soon be a pile of garbage. He literally took a well oiled machine, & turned into a clunker.

Sure he doesn’t just want NASA’s blueprints since his Starships keep blowing up? Won’t he have full access now?

He needs to have a mental evaluation

jenwunder.bsky.social•32 days ago

Interesting photo choice, WaPo. Why not go with the one of Musk performing the Nazi salute? After all, that photo would certainly provide a more accurate representation.
