Please tell me this is satire.

The Houston Chronicle is being held hostage.

Come to think of it, I don't think they're worth a ransom. Not even a bag of bird seeds.

I can NOT BELIEVE working class people think billionaires are going to save them. Trump supporters have been scientifically proven to have a lower IQs below information voters and Reed at a sixth grade level..

Why not start with government contacts first? Why go after programs that actually help people, that are only 1% of the budget? Because the rich (Elon has many contracts with the government) want to eat your face.

*contracts

Fuck all the way off with this shit... uggg... private companies have been leaking and selling your data, why not the government, and to give it to Elon for free to train AI in a theft soup, to sell your own IP back to you at a monthly premium.

We've absolutely lost the plot, yall.

WTF! Democrats agree there is waste. This is not the way to fix it and I am pretty sure the MAGA moron who wrote this knows that. This right here is why Trump was re-elected. Newspapers not doing their jobs and acting like this shit is normal.

Just block these turds. They should be added to the MAGA/nazis blocklist.

jfc, who is in charge of your opinion column? this is ridiculous.

thisispsittacus.bsky.social•12 days ago

We are not against the premise - this is not the way! Maybe because that’s not what DOGE is doing?! We don’t need the richest man on earth - a foreign National who is only out to get richer. Going after the consumer protection bureau and then attempting to buy OpenAI - he has overplayed his hand.

The argument that hackers might have your private data so we shouldn’t care if Musk does is as stupid as it sounds.

How does this misinformation deserve it’s own post, put there is nothing on the Chronicle’s front page about getting rid of the department of education?

Because it’s not intended to make government more efficient and save taxpayers money.

Why are Republicans in Congress bending over and taking it up the ass instead of passing measures for a forensic audit and protecting that data of every American.

twscotsman27.bsky.social•12 days ago

Opinion, who the $@$? Is in charge at H Chron! How about a scalpel rather than a flamethrower with an illegal coup takeover by a Nazi Thug Tech billionaire and his roving band of teen hackers. How about compassion and respect for those who dedicated their lives to GIVING rather than TAKING.

You can die from all sorts of things- why are you so scared of dying from asphyxiation?! Just let me choke you, geez! WHY DO YOU HATE FUN

joegekko.bsky.social•12 days ago

Instead of publishing this, you could have done literally anything else.

More letters from folks seeming to be in the GOP cult. This time we get opinions from:

Thomas Bazan - Houston
Robert T Haas - Missouri City
Jim Younger - Katy.

I bet they are all white men - they think their opinion counts most 🙄.

jpaulwx.bsky.social•12 days ago

This might have been the dumbest thing yall could have posted WHAT

newsfanatic.bsky.social•12 days ago

Way to mislead the public. I’ve never heard Dems say they oppose efficiency. You know full well this isn’t about efficiency and cost cutting.

hummens.bsky.social•12 days ago

The dumbest of dumb takes available.

dennis-moore.bsky.social•12 days ago

Here's why.
The man pays no tax.

Second day in a row you choose to highlight, and by default, seemingly promote, this uninformed nonsense. Considering cancelling my subscription at this point.
