Musk wants a 500 billion dollar investment from America for a data center to use AI to run the government.

He broke in to destroy evidence against him in depts. he has contracts with and he "thinks" he can replace humans with AI.

He should be banned from America.

AI is the only thing that loves him back right now.

Good FCK them

debsnoise.bsky.social•3 days ago

To the regime, that's a feature not a bug

butchugal.bsky.social•3 days ago

Gee, y’think?

cottonmanifesto.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well, duh

The GOP doesn't *want* to recruit skilled candidates or experts: they want to appoint ideologues throughout the government. SCOTUS' attacks on Chevron mean that the courts claim to be in a better position to decide things than experts, and GOP policy is absolutely contrary to what experts say

fredw88.bsky.social•3 days ago

That's not a problem for Project 2025. They have religion and billionaires. Who needs experts.

saffron1.bsky.social•3 days ago

THEY DONT CARE

mikejleake.bsky.social•3 days ago

Or take promotions, presumably

boodie123.bsky.social•3 days ago

This seems to be part of the plan ... it will take decades to mend the damage. Have fun.

alexcharles.bsky.social•3 days ago

Isn’t that the point though?

They want to eliminate the government.

shadowfixxer.bsky.social•3 days ago

Someone not trusting the government??? Why would that be??? BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!! You can incite violence, steal classified documents, abuse women, be a raging bigot POS and still become president to enact your modern Holocaust and destroy a nation. So much to trust.... 🤢🤢🤮🤮

elleiam101.bsky.social•3 days ago

As if they even give a shit about that!

wandaallard.bsky.social•3 days ago

You are right to fear a lack of college recruits because of layoffs. The same goes for when there is no upward mobility such as offering acting positions, because of budget slashing.

hanserikiken.bsky.social•3 days ago

But that is exactly what the billionaires clan wants: to hamstring government for decades.

cftc.bsky.social•3 days ago

Man who thinks he knows everything about everything… doesn’t.

jalata.bsky.social•3 days ago

The tactic of firing “probationary” workers already means the loss of a new generation - and of all the associated recruitment and training costs.

loubear99.bsky.social•3 days ago

No problem, just hire Musk's companies to run the government. He's already got a bunch of hackers and fan boys ready to fill in.

alunited442.bsky.social•3 days ago

Warning is not enough members of both parties need to act.

rliptak.bsky.social•3 days ago

well, this is what Musk counts on. So warnning is pointless.

guernseygirl.bsky.social•3 days ago

as if they would care about that

suenet.bsky.social•3 days ago

But they would not care. AI will replace federal workers, just like robots have replaced factory workers, right?

bizbodeity.bsky.social•3 days ago

Isn't that exactly what they want? It's as if Stone, Black, Manafort, and Atwater are running the Reagan playbook 40 years later.

marty-beck.bsky.social•3 days ago

It should be obvious by now that what Musk is up to has nothing to do with waste, fraud, or abuse. He is about raiding the treasury. He is the waste, fraud, and abuse. WE really need to help this guy get to Mars.

terg.bsky.social•3 days ago

Don't think he gives a rat's ass. Instead of talking to him about what he doesn't care about. Tell him they'll hold up all his appointees until he gets rid of Musk.

These narcissistic idiots are incapable of seeing past the ends of their snouts.

MAGA IS THE ABSOLUTE EVIL
MUSK AND THE OTHER BILLIONAIRE NAZIS DESTROYED THE MIDDLE CLASS AND NOW THEY WANT CREATE A DICTATORSHIP

WE SHALL STOP THEM!!

fredw88.bsky.social•3 days ago

No: with Project 2025 they have created a dictatorship. Just waiting for the rest of the America to catch up'

bigdyslexicenergy.bsky.social•2 days ago

I thought that was the point

mikebrady.bsky.social•3 days ago

How to stop Musk.

cairanne.bsky.social•3 days ago

Read Jacob Reese-Mogg's father's book - The Sovereign individual: How to Survive and Thrive During the Collapse of the Welfare State

Thiel& Musk have

Thiel wrote foreward for the modern version

They don't want to damage it

They want it gone

Techno-feudalism

Thiel has openly said so many times

h-h10.bsky.social•3 days ago

They don't want intelligent people. They want unquestioning drones. Non- Maga citizens should be seeking employment in other countries before they're rounded up.

madddin.bsky.social•3 days ago

Isn’t that rather the point?!

byrdsman75.bsky.social•3 days ago

Very true, not that Trump/Musk will care

The press seem "bought off" in the main, i think things will have to get really bad before they even try and report actual facts

Horrifc times to live in

davemeredith.bsky.social•3 days ago

I thought that was the plan. Turn the US into a developing nation run for a handful of billionaires.

margiem.bsky.social•3 days ago

Every day call your reps and
Mike Johnson (202) 225-2777
John Thune (202) 224-2321
Chuck Schumer (202) 224-6542
Hakeem Jefferies (202) 225-5936

Call for impeachment or treason charges. Use 5calls.org if you need help.

rewerbyor.bsky.social•3 days ago

Maybe Starmer should take note before he decimates the Civil Service with his chainsaw?

heptaglemious.bsky.social•3 days ago

But they *want* that. The agenda of the right has always been to break the government, then point to the government they broke and say "government is broken" and transfer everything to for-profit corporations.

olivierrupert.bsky.social•3 days ago

The BRAIN DRAIN will be extensive...
