“Move fast and break things” was bad enough as a business axiom, @karaswisher.bsky.social argues, but “when it’s applied to the entire apparatus of our democracy, it’s terrifying.”

There are dozens of frameworks designed to reduce overhead without forfeiting the value/objective of any given dept or org. Musks assertion that his exp at building business qualifies him to reduce the US bureaucracy is absurd - yet none of the jokers in the cabinet mtg had the balls to push back.
"DOGE now is building what techies call a “God view” dashboard of our nation and the world: “But what shall we dream of when everything becomes visible?”
And from Virilio, the best answer: “We’ll dream of being blind.”
This is the manner which techno-nazis like Musk believe they can mold the human future into neo-feudal patch states fully controlled by their technology.
So true. All of us who studied Project 2025 knew this was going to happen. But, I don’t believe any of us imagined a musk with a chainsaw ripping our democracy to shreds in a matter of a few weeks.
... the opposite of woke is asleep; the opposite of DEI is homogeneity, inequity, and exclusion.
That’s just the way an increasing number of techies want it and, with Trump & Musk at the wheel, the goal toward which they are now reengineering our country.
It is time for the American citizens to tell this maniac that this is not how we want our government to work. It is time to start selling Tesla stock and to continue not buying Tesla cars. Musk draws his power from money. Take away his money and his power will evaporate.
They figure they have to do it fast so they can fuck it up so badly it can't be fixed by the time we stop them! This was the plan all along. They told us what they were going to do!!
Why does muskRAT want data on things like child support?
So he can figure out how much a private company can “skim” in processing fees. If you want to “sell” an agency, the buyer wants to know the profit margin.
Multiply this to every government agency and u can see what Musk-RAT & trump are up to.
This is exactly how Hitler came into power😡🤬 He could've been stopped if more people were paying attention. A lot of Americans are also NOT PAYING ATTENTION to this!
Musk would be well-advised to get back to the business of building robots. Tesla is falling way behind. Japan is expected to see an exponential increase in service robots at restaurants and elsewhere. It is now time to short Tesla because most of Musk's claims are not credible.
Ignores public safety & Government purpose-serve public. Musk cares about neither. Government not for profit. Musk isn't making decisions for return on investment- if so, the National Park service would not be cut. Makes profit. NPS cost $3.475 b (2024); made $26.4b (2023). $55.6b economic output.
Swisher spent her entire career running positive PR for these a-holes.
Now they’re too big to talk to her anymore she’s rebranded as some brave truth-to-power girl.
Nuh uh.

Oooo let me guess: this is “disruption” (another stupid, overvalued word).
And from Virilio, the best answer: “We’ll dream of being blind.”
But US Goverment is about People. For the people by the people.
Musk is barely literate in the area of human relations. And a failure in areas of safety and quality control.

This mentality has little to do with reliable governance, responsible leadership, and improved quality.
It has everything to do with profitability, parasitism, and ego. With transferring value from the many to the few.

Where is the democratic party leader who unites all the democrats, in one voice, against the Christian Nazi Party and its Führer, Donald Trump?
The democrats have no leader. They are useless and lost, right now.
These generalizations just don‘t match the complexity of historical developments. They are superficial and don’t provide any useful insights.
Look at the forces that are at work today.
Also, there is a huge difference between Disruption and Destruction.
