Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader

Meh, there are a lot of Dems who hate him. Maybe better choices out there.

 

maybe they should stop subsidizing Elon

 

Another crook moving on up. No doubt there are better options but maga is on a roll so why not. S/be fun.

 

Interesting - I'm ambivalent. There is no way he will be more effective in maintaining order in the republican side of the senate or be as effective at massaging legislative victories through procedure than mcconnell was. This is like Deboer replacing Saban at Alabama. Probably a good pick but I'm just glad it's not MM anymore.

 

You never want to be the first guy on the merry-go-round with Trump.

 

Giving credit where credit is due SpaceX has been doing an excellent job providing launch services. That being said that there is an inherent conflict of interest when the CEO of one largest federal contractors to the US government has also been selected to play a critical role in setting government policy and let's not forget oversight of Tesla by the NHTSA. Tesla is already being investigated for problems with its autonomous driving system and Musk is also seeking approval to use completely autonomous taxis. Musk contributed to well over $100 million to Trump's campaign. He will almost certainly receive something in return from the transactional soon to be president mostly freedom from any oversight.

the tax credit to purchase an EV

 

Lol

 

Well, yes. Without any intended hyperbole, non-MAGA should recognize that this is now our government. Checks and balances will be diminished. Our government is composed of a MAGA-aligned president, Senate, House, and Supreme Court. This is a Trump gov and what they voted for.

 

Why am I not surprised MAGA is in favor of Rick Scott? I mean he has the qualifications they’re looking for. Under his leadership as CEO his company was convicted of 14 felonies for fraud and agreed to the largest healthcare fraud settlement in history.

 

I hope he gets it

 

a lot of you sound a lot like we did in 2020
hate eats away at your soul and the only person it changes is you

 

Yeah, I disagree with @108’s proposition that Musk wins because of subsidies. He wins on Tesla by killing subsidies for the competition.

Musk is advocating for killing California’s mandates, which translate to a national mandate. I suspect he wants to control the NHTSA’s autonomous vehicle rules.

 

I am all in for Trump and like a lot of what Elon has done, but I will NOT be buying an EV
