US presidential candidate Donald Trump said he would appoint Elon Musk to head a government efficiency commission if he is elected to office in November.
“At the suggestion of Elon Musk, who has given me his complete and total endorsement… I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms,” Trump told the Economic Club of New York.
“Too efficient. Let’s put a moron in charge to shake that up.”
Fuck man, we already tried that in 2016.
So, he basically bought himself a job in our government. I kinda want to say that’s illegal, but this is the circus we live in now. Complaining about the clowns is probably a waste of time at this point
So if Trump is elected the USA will be run like Twitter
*Xitter (pronounced shitter)
That’s fine, I already have a million reasons to vote against him, what’s a million and one?
Didn’t Trump fill that roll by just not filling a huge portion of the government?
Imagine if the people in charge of our country took it seriously instead of whatever this clown show is.
Can’t wait to vote Kamala, and least she won’t make things worse.
If you don’t like it, vote.
Vote for Harris *
Any vote not to Harris be it third party or otherwise is a vote for Trump. A third party cannot win in our current First Past the Poll system
I hate that it’s the reality. Fptp is so anti democratic.
Then organize a ballot measure for RCV or your preferred alternate system. Too late for this November but you can do something for future elections at least at the state level.
It seriously baffles me that there are still people that don’t understood very simple and easy to understand fact. Especially when it’s been explained to them ad nauseam.
I’m beginning to think it’s willful ignorance on their part.
They’re either Trump supporters, have foreign interests, or are so fucking brainwashed they’d rather throw the whole country away than admit they don’t understand American civics
Unfortunately as long as we have FPTP and the electoral college we aren’t a democracy
That tracks as they’re both petulant children who know nothing about running a business…except how to torpedo them with their own hubris and ineptitudes after losing gobs of money. Hopefully, after this exhausting and long-winded election cycle is over we can never hear their stupid names or voices again!
Translation: “I got an endorsement and a lot of money from Elon Musk, so I’m giving him a government job as a kickback where he can “regulate” his own businesses to enrich himself even further at the expense of literally every other American.”
Oh man, I can’t see a conflict of interest at all. Nope, no siree.
He is maintaining his record of putting the worst possible person he can find in positions of power.
Betsy Devos but worse
Our government isn’t a meme you incel fuck. That clown is exhausting.
The guy who lost $35B in a year and destroyed the business model - that guy?
I mean, depending on what your goals are, that could very well be described as efficient.
Like, if your goal is to destroy the American government, could anyone do it more efficiently than Elmo?
the guy that lead the Cyber Truck project? that guy?
Fits nicely with Trump’s reputation
I think hiring the CEO of MULTIPLE Businesses who bought a WEBSITE for $44000000000 and has MULTIPLE Government Contracts to a Government Role is a BIGLY SMART Move with LITERALLY no Downside or room for Swampy Activity!
He’s good at promising without delivering, which is great if your idea of government efficiency is “have the best press while embezzling tons of money”.
The Russian state should be a warning not a guide to model after.
Musk is CEO of 3 companies and has the time for a Government job?
Being CEO is a part time job.
Isn’t it at least 5?
SpaceX
Tesla
Twitter
Neuralink
Boring Company
Now tell me that being a CEO is such a hard and stressful job that one man could be in charge of five companies.
You know what would happen if I did my job for five different companies?
I’d get fired.
People like that consider being on the phone working. Flying on a plane, working.
Someone did a study on this and found that ceos typically count their working hours as anything that is related to work including commuting. Picking up dry cleaning, even lunches since you have them with clients or are allowed to eat at your desk.
If we counted our hours the same way, then we would count things like preparing lunch and doing laundry.
Yelling at Taylor Swift? Still count as work hours.
Golfing? Working.
Shitposting on Twitter? Working.
Doing rails of ketamine? Working
Having sex with underaged sex workers, believe it or not, working
Elon needs to get back to his CEO duties of abusing ketamine and shitposting on twitter all day long.
His way of making the government efficient will be to just have no bid contracts go to all of his businesses.
Which is the safest thing to do since he has name recognition…
