I never thought, in my lifetime, I would watch an unelected billionaire basically run a press conference from the white house. The bit about no conflict of interest was especially funny.
did you hear this maga? “Some of the things that I say will be incorrect." Musk, 2/11, in his Oval Office Q&A
I watched that whole segment…does he think he sounds smart? He sounded like a rambling idiot trying to just use big words
We’re 3+ weeks out and Musk is running the Q&A session from the Oval Office. Trump just mostly sits there and already wants to check out. This will get quite interesting.
Elon is an extremely busy man, with a whole lot on his plate. He doesn’t have time to waste on non-starters. That he is investing this much of his time into finding fraud, waste and abuse within our federal bureaucracy should be extremely alarming to everyone. If there wasn’t anything to see, he wouldn’t be wasting his valuable time on it. Elon is by far the richest man in the world. It is not as if he is going to enrich himself somehow by leading DOGE. Honestly, I figured he would have quit by now. I’m troubled by the fact that he is able to find enough to pique his curiosity.
Headline is "Trump sits quietly while Musk explains their tactics" ... I believe this makes Trump what one might call a "cuck".
I absolutely loved watching that press conference. Glad to see two people working to root out fraud, waste, and incompetence that is clear as day in our government books.
Thank God for President Trump. Someone who’s actually fulfilling campaign promises. Our deficits are a huge problem. We are blessed that we have President Trump and Elon Musk working to reduce our federal deficit. Very much needed and not an easy task, but President Trump is doing it.
“REPORTER: If you have received billions of dollars in contracts from the Pentagon and the president is directing you to look into the DoD, does that present a conflicts of interest? MUSK: First of all, I'm not the filing the contract. It's people at SpaceX” the response is actually worse in the video….
Trump was just sitting there wondering if they could smell his soiled diaper. And calculating his daily gains off meme coins.
Folks aren't realizing the real game here. Our AI investments have been jeopardized by the Chinese figuring out how to make AI work with less processing power and non-specialized chips, being done on desktops. AI was the crown jewel of applications that was supposed to use all this new expensive infrastructure in the form of data centers to train and deploy AI that are queued up waiting for the powerful versions that were supposed to be taking shape to utilize their processing and storage capabilities. Then the Chinese upset the apple cart, and it was probably known months ago before the election got into full swing by those who are paid to know such things. Think of not just the AI investments that are trouble, but now the infrastructure investments. Power Plants to power them, all of the construction materials and companies which support building and maintaining them. I believe Elon's takeover of government is all about getting rid of people so they can be replaced by AI so Silicon Valley's long line of recent bad investments (Web 3.0, Self-Driving Cars, and now AI) can be made good by a takeover of government by Silicon Valley's tech bros. His supposed "corruption finding" is to get you to buy into that our government is corrupt and needs replaced by AI software - where the corruption is more easily hidden, I might add, in the cost. It has already been mentioned to replace air traffic controllers just recently. That is why all the tech chiefs lined up to kiss Trump's ass and have basically switched sides in recent years, while blaming it on employees who were "too empowered". Guaranteed contracts where the government buys their subscription based solutions that we can't cancel once they are in place because their is no one left to do the jobs, but they need an autocrat so people can't get rid of them through democracy that can displace them either. Turns out it isn't immigrants that are going to replace you, it is Microsoft and Musk. Guess who gets soaked by their jinky software which is waaaaay overpriced and underperforming? Yes, you U.S. taxpayer. One thing is for sure: all the tech companies have been lining up to build the infrastructure right outside of D.C. near Gainesville, VA for the past few year where the power lines are. One data center after another flying up, buying up entire neighborhoods. Why do you think that infrastructure is so close to D.C.? Hint: It's where they can replace the most people the quickest.
When are they going to tackle inflation? Or health care? Or anything that really matters? If Trump was sincere about reducing the deficit, he would have stayed home and watched the Super Bowl on his big screen. If he was really committed to reducing the deficit, he would cut the military's budget, and not just whine about DEI.
I've read that Musk's DOGE staff is a bunch of teenagers, including one known online as Big Balls. What about the guy at the press conference who's sitting on Musk's shoulders? He must still be in kindergarten (and obviously doesn't have big balls).
